Very good bargain for a top 10-15 center in this market. His full contract is now 4 years about 70 million remaining.

So you had money for Zubac but not PG3?

He's not really good. No shooting at all and one of the worst perimeter defender for bigs.

Aren't you a Thunder fan now?

Clippers FO gave Zubac the same as they offered to PG?

That’s one confused FO!

How is 3 years/150 the same as
3year/58

Clipers final offer to PG was same as they gave Kawhi.

That's a steal given what other non shooting bigs have been getting paid.

He’s a good rim protector, good roll man and good rebounder. If he were a better perimeter defender OR shooter (just one, not both) he’d be getting $30m a year. If he can maintain his current level of rim protection (he’s not elite but he’s in the 2nd tier, which is pretty good) then he’ll be worth this contract.

Isn’t he a top 5 rim protector? I’m pretty sure at least statistically.

Zubac is recently 27 and is on a salary that’s less than half of PG’s. PG was wanting 50 mill a year to get outplayed by Zubac in the playoffs

Zubac is also less than half the player PG13 is.

Should still be a Laker ... Oh well

Not in the 2024 playoffs.

He has a mid range and a three point shot. Lue just has to take the handcuffs off of him and let him play. Especially when he's going to be the 3rd and maybe at times the 2nd option on offense this season.

More impressively, opponents shot just 50% on attempts within five feet with Zubac as the primary defender, lowest among all players who defended at least 100 of them

Lettuce be cereal, even if the Lakers didn't make that preposterous offer, he'd probably have been in the AD deal anyway

Nah, we would kill to have him back . Great rebounder and decent position defender

He was my favorite laker until we gave him away for free

Worth it, he gets a ton of flack from Clips fans sometimes but he’s solid. Glad to hear he was extended, he’s one of the OG Clips now with Mann.
