Not Zubac! Damnit I knew it was coming. Said this yesterday I think that there was a flood of "trade Zu" posts all of a sudden. Bad idea. Plumlee is NOT as good as Zubac and Zu has continued to get better every year (which at his age usually doesn't happen at this pace).

We need a big and a backup big as last year showed. Who's going to be Plumlee's backup?

The Clippers re-engaged the Celtics about acquiring Malcolm Brogdon in recent days, according to @jakelfischer . Damn we are clueless…. I assume this is a response to the demands the Sixers are making. If they delay on Harden and we set up a deal for Brogdon we no longer look like we have our backs against the wall for the point guard position.

The whole notion of giving up any assets beyond Morris, Covington and Batum for Harden is stupid. The reason...because Kawhi and POG will not be healthy and will miss significant time, including the playoffs. So it is completely useless and stupid to give up solid assets like Powell, Mann, or Zu. Harden and Bones Hyland are not winning any playoff games while PG and Kawhi take an early summer vacation. Let it go.

This deal for Harden doesn’t feel it will happen.

I think it’s totally fake. If the management team is that brain dead then I’m the stupid one but I think it’s likely the phony press doing its thing. Hate to give up Mann but Zu is off limits.

The Sixers were very patient when they knew they were going to trade Simmons, I expect the same here.

I think Daryl is trying to set up other trades after the Harden trade, hence the hold up. They wouldn't keep Zu, but we could have offers that include Mann some with Zu and some for more picks and he's probably seeing which one he wants to take to flip.

I think this also likely means Russ is gone How does it impact Russ? Russ requested a trade right after the season in Hou. I think they're cool with each other but reports were that they didn't mesh super well. Could be different now, not sure but also Russ' role would be pretty small w Harden here.

So we just paid for the draft rights to Balša Koprivica, a 7-1 center. Probably doesn't mean anything, but my overactive brain immediately thought does this mean we really are moving Zu.
