No, what’s the point? This team still not beating the Knicks in the east, or any of the OKC, spurs or nuggets
Hell no
No. It’s time to trade essentially everyone. We’re not a couple pieces away. We’re an entire roster away.
Harden merchant? No.
This team is closer to being bottom 5 than competing. Commit to the rebuild.
This subreddit is desperate for a C (as they should be) and will say no to literally any player. No point asking
Blow the damn team up. Forget giving up ANY of our picks (yes, even the SRPs) for anything at this point in time.
Yes
No
Absolutely. He’s a great player. I’d give up a FRP. If it costs more than that picks wise – no.
No. Not giving up any firsts for this roster, what would be the point?
As with most targets, entirely depends on the package. Is it something like IQ and a pick for Zubac? Probably worth considering. If it’s substantially more than that, I wouldn’t like it.
If you squint you can see Marc Gasols ghost
Yes absolutely, Zubac is basically Poeltl offensively but better defensively , bigger body and is actually available. If they wanted more than 1 first round pick I’d hang up but if you only have to give one and it’s protected along with some contracts I’d do it
No, he’s going to cost multiple firsts and he’s not much better than a healthy Jak. Just gets the benefit of playing with the best pick and roll guard in the league
He’s good but getting kind of old
Id trade for him for some of our contracts like quickley, Barrett but wouldn’t attach any picks to get him
If this team is in the West, we would be below .500. It’s absurd people think a center is going to make this team a contender. It feels like 2023 again.
Any starting caliber center would be great for this team
It would be nice to have a lob threat. I can’t remember the last time this team had a legit lob threat player who wasn’t some scrub.
We had Marc and Serge, Serge could kinda get up there but not really.
Jakob despite having nice hops when he was younger never dunks the ball or goes for lobs.
JV had limited hops.
Bargnani was not a lob threat.
CBreezy was probably the last guy and even still he wasn’t a big lob guy.
I’m tired of plodding centres. We need to get with the times. Unless you’re a massive human being like Edey or Clingan you need to be mobile.
We haven’t had an actually good young big to be excited about since Ed Davis.
Depends on what the deal was but he’s a material upgrade on Yak, which would help this team significantly
One point though, his numbers are significantly impacted by playing with an elite PG in Harden. A luxury he would not get with IQ
Zubac is such a reliable big, I’d love him in Toronto.
Would love Zubac, but at what cost? Probably don’t want to be sending out FRPs plus they really seem to need RJ and thats the contract youd be sending out.
Why not go for a guy like Jonas Valanciunas who could be had for cheap, and provide similar production that Yak is?
I wouldn’t trade for a centre at all unless it’s Scottie for multiple picks. Let the season play out and get a high pick in the draft
Yeah, I’d love Zubac. I don’t, however, think that whatever the Clippers would want for him would be worth it.
Target Dwight Powell. Convince him to not retire
Gasol 2.0
I feel like we need a more mobile lob threat center. Marc and Serge were great for our 2019 – 2021 teams but our team now is younger and faster and I feel like having players like Zubac or Poeltl dont fit as well as someone like Daniel Gafford. Obviously we cant just get one out of thin air but I feel like it would help propel our offense and allow a faster style of play.
Yes
Reading the comments, looks like I’m the only one that is willing to include 2 FRPs and Poeltl for Zubac. I do believe he’ll make Raps a top-4 team in the East for at least the next 2 seasons after this one which makes Raps’ future FRPs worth less.
This move would increase or at least maintain IQ’s value. Raps would have enough assets to get another backup C. Zubac’s contract is already one of the best in the league.
If we can’t get Zubac, then hopefully Jarrett Allen becomes available because both AD and Sabonis would make this team worse imo.
Yes but wtf are we gonna trade for him tha the clippers want?
I would trade Low IQ, Dickless, Paper hands Mogbo, and Hunchback Yak for Big bird from Sesame Street, so yeah, I would trade for Zubac.
