opens up a roster spot for the lakers to sign a buyout

plus it would've been hard to retain zubac in the summer. muscala gives the lakers some shooting help

**** Magic Johnson and **** this trade. I think Zubac has a ton of potential.

he does but it would have been hard for the lakers to retain him in the summer

my only issue with this is that it gives the clippers a piece to add for a potential AD trade. ******* jerry west is something else

"Some" being the operative word here. He'll get hot and hit a few then crickets. And he's bad defensively.

some team was likely going to throw zu a huge contract in the offseason

i'm gonna miss him though. if he had come into the league 20 years ago he'd be an all star

Jerry West is laying the foundation for the Clippers like he did the Warriors.

West is a good basketball mind, he knows what he’s doing.

The Clippers have really been doing work.

Kawhi & AD with Lou, Harrell, Beverley, etc.; is going to be one hell of team next year :sarcasm:

Carmelo really?

Is Lebron just giving handouts to his friends now? Last offseason they were hyped on ‘Hoodie Melo’ but he couldn’t do shit with OKC.

I guess it’s a paycheck for Melo but Jesus, Melo may as well come off the bench.

yeah unfortunately zu died for melo

i would've only been in support of that if they had gutted the team for AD but that isn't gonna happen

So the Lakers just traded one of the young pieces being thrown into the AD proposals for Muscala. To make matters worse, they might use the open roster spot on Melo.

Yep, pretty funny to see some Laker fans rationalizing the trade.

its pretty obvious they dealt zubac because they knew the chances of bringing him back for the right price in the summer were slim to none

magic and rob were so stupid to let lopez go. they already had their shooting big man and for some reason they let him go
