You're clearly not following. Nowhere did I claim that obtaining him would suddenly create cap space. Cap strapped teams need to squeeze value out of salary slots. A starting center at 7.5M with upward mobility represents that. This isn't a terribly difficult concept to understand.
The Clippers thought so highly of him that their offseason focus was to replace him. He's regressed this year.
If he is valuable, than we could move him to a 3rd team where he fits better. I do actually like him, but he's kind of a tweener. He just doesn't fit great next to Giannis.
In what way was their offseason focus to replace him? Because they got Serge Ibaka, a guy who can hit the three and won a championship while doing it? That's some sort of indictment on Ivica Zubac? That's just a blatantly false assertion. Their focus was their coaching situation and the retaining of their free agents. Listen, you've already been way off on his performance last season which leads me to believe you're just generally unfamiliar with the player in general.
A team that has Zubac replaced him with a center that can shoot the 3? Interesting, and the Clippers already had great floor spacing.
Look back, I ripped the Lakers when they gave Zubac away for nothing. I thought he'd eventually become a floor spacing big. It hasn't happened.
I'd be happy to move him to team that really needs him, like Toronto or Charlotte, for an interesting return.
