2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Lukas having a Steve Nash type year on the Lakers like Nash had with the suns.

where Shaq should’ve won the MVP with Miami but Nash won. I’m just saying.

 

The Lakers provide the mismatch issues with LeBron Luka and Reaves. The spacing is so good. I haven’t even mentioned Ayton. That team is too good.


The Clippers are a terrible team. Harden is carrying them. And It’s clear Kawhi has lost a step. He’s just not the same at this point in his career. In his prime unguardable jump shot automatic. And lock down defender.

Zubac is a terrible liability on defense. Has no lift and just isn’t an adequate rebounder. He’s in there for offense alone. The Clippers don’t realize when Zubac is in there there’s no spacing. Collins can’t set a pick for anybody. Lazy picks equals easy defense.

 

…meanwhile the Clips and Warriors are imploding. Best start to the season for me in years.

 

Meh..Tony Hawk actually has a pretty valid point. Zubac isn't exactly considered to be a top " defensive " center.

stick to kickflips or whatever?

 

Those stats mean what exactly, about him being a good defensive center?

There seems to be multiple ways of looking at it, but he doesn't seem to be considered, a top defensive center, from a cursory glance, at several viewpoints on the subject.

He's definitely a defensive liability against us, Zubac at 5, is an exploitable mismatch in our favor, in a 7 game series IMO.
