littlesamtung 151 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Magic finally admit their initial strategy of not recruiting shooters is wrong. But to dump a young C for a not so good stretch 4, isn't it too desperate? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dlo is having a career year and so is Randle now that they left LA. I bet Zubac becomes a huge double doulble monster as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is new, Lebron playing the GM. Zubac is key part for them. If they can sign a max player this off-season, they need these players who are still under rookie contracts to complete the roster. THis is such a dumb move Except zubac is already an expiring contract and he can’t be dealt this off season and I’m sure someone will give him an offer sheet that they won’t match anyways?

Dlo is almost a pure dump also since he was traded for B. Lopez who eventually walked away after a wasted season in LA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THis is such a dumb move I think they want another sharp shooter like Ellington. Maybe Cleveland buys out JR Smith and then reunites with LBJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HairyShoes 8 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 lakers messed up trading him they basically did it for melo lol zupac has 20-10 potential with solid rim protecting .. this could come back to haunt them like letting randle go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DamoESP 223 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Started for the Clippers, 13 mins in the first half, decent stats. Anyone watching the game?? How does he look out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How does he look out there? I'm flipping between a couple games. Some thoughts: Performance-wise he looks the same as he did in LA, more or less. Teammates getting him involved, more than w/ the Lakers. He's touching the ball more, and they're not doing dumb Laker hero ball s--- and using the entire shot clock. Seems engaged defensively; 3 blocks, but also defensive mistakes. Oh yeah - he and Montrezl played together for spans too, which is great for his value. Overall, he looks as if he has a longer leash here and won't be subject to Walton's silly rotations. Really pleased with what I'm seeing. Too early to tell but could be a solid double-double ROS w/ great percentages and decent blocks. Edit - Oh yeah Kyrie just sprained his knee so anyone reading this might wanna pick up Rozier.

Supersonics 168 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 He's playing with a lot of energy. Contesting every drive and shot resulting in deflections and 3 blocks. He's got a solid line right now (late in the 3rd quarter) and it should be even better considering he's missed a couple easy buckets right at the rim. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The more I'm watching this the more optimistic I'm feeling about his situation. W/ the Lakers, at times most of his touches comes only from trying to rebound his teammates' poor shots. Zu's gotten our hopes up several times this season, but he actually seems set up for success here, or at least not set up for failure w/ the Lakers' s---y offense and unpredictable 3-center rotation Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clippers are making a serious push back into this game. Of course the Celtics lost Kyrie but Zubac is a major factor. He's much more involved with this offense. Lets see how the 4th quarter goes.

Kriggly 282 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Harrell ended up closing out. I think his value will be similar to on the lakers, as I doubt his minutes will eclipse 30. If he was worth rostering then for some, then he's still viable. Barring an injury it seems like he'll still have limited contributions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GJDHouse 1,031 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think Zu is in a good situation at LAC. Harell is going to get his minutes, but Zu should get 25-30 most nights as Harrell and he play together for a 5-7 minutes a game. Zu's game is extremely fantasy friendly if he just gets minutes. Plus contributor in FG/FT/RB/BLK that is nice combination to have. Doesn't hurt you anywhere. The fact that he is barely the legal drinking age also helps when projecting forward. I think he will will resign with the Clips this offseason and become a quality real life and fantasy basketball player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
