Trade: [LAL/LAC] Mike Muscala for Michael Beasley and Ivica Zubac

[Five Alarm Fire]

Brutal trade for the Lakers.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

f***ing Lebron is the worst basketball GM of all time

 

[Avs_19]

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

Yeah, that wasn't a smart move. They then used the money they had on non-shooters and are now looking for shooting. This was bad in the moment and looks even worse now......

 

[Aladyyn]

Is it just me or is this f***ing horrendous for the Lakers?

 

[Cassano]

Do you feel LeBron's attraction to shitty rosters hurts his legacy?

No, but I think it hurts his chances of ever being a successful owner of an NBA team.

i think they definitely could've gotten more and it sucks to see zubac go but like i mentioned, some team was going to throw an overpriced contract at him in the summer

lakers knew he wasn't going to be brought back

It's pretty shitty that Bryant and Zubac are both gone now lol.

 

[The Night King]

If we weren't gonna get much for Zu, I would have preferred to keep him the rest of the season. We're trying to win now and he was playing really well. It just makes no sense to me to trade him.

 

[darko]

Not sure why they gave up Zubac.

 

[Gecklund]

After this trade, from the Blake Griffin trade, the Clippers got

SGA
Jamychal Green
Garrett Temple
Wilson Chandler
Landry Shamet
Ivica Zubac
2020 PHI 1st
2021 MIA 1st
2021 DET 2nd
2023 DET 2nd

Basically this ends up being their starting point guard for the next 5 years and at the very least another good starter (banking on one of Shamet/Zubac becoming good starters) for the next 5 years. And that's not including the firsts.

I don't know if it will, but it should.

I've long maintained that for as great a talent as he is, LeBron James is arguably the worst superstar in the history of the NBA at analyzing talent.

He picks and chooses horrendous players to team with, whether stylistically or flat out lack of talent.

This argument would hold more water if Jordan wasn’t continuously running an NBA franchise into the ground

Lol well, I mean as a player

 

[cgf]

Lol well, I mean as a player

But knowing what we know now, do you really wanna know the kind of teams Jordan woulda surrounded himself with if he had that kind of power then?

...I mean I do, as a late-80s-born bitter Knicks fan who grew up in chicago...

Lmao I still think that LeBron is worse

 

[LeafMaple]

Zubac was developing well I don’t know why they would make this deal
