I'll believe that when I see it. Since day 1, ready or not, Luke made promises about playing time for Zu that weren't true. I was at a pre season game a couple years ago, and he probably got 2 minutes at the end.

Zu having a bigger role in the offense would help the team, and ultimately it would lead to more wins, thereby taking pressure off Luke too.

With that FT%, Zu is bound to pick up three-point shooting at some point. Then, it's really over.

Uh.... That's exactly what Luke's been doing for the last games???

I am against moving Zubac to the starting lineup. We need some firepower from the bench.

Exactly. When LBJ is back, start McGee and bring ZuPac from the bench with 25 min per game. Give rest to McGee and Chandler.

He should of been playing about 25 minutes off the bench all season. Too bad small ball has brain washed Luke. To me it was pretty easy to see how talented he was. He's slow and not very athletic but he gives good effort defensively, always helping and challenging shots.

Ok, here is a link of this same thread @ early November when we got Tyson.

This thread early november

I think by the comments there the only ones who think that Zu still have some chance was Luke and the FO. All of you just gave up.

So, IIRC, in calculating the 38m in cap space, most seem to exclude Zub's cap hold.

I think he's a piece worth keeping, but how does it affect the max cap space for KD? (obviously not a problem if we don't get KD or get a 7-9 year max service player).

But did he show much in November?

Kudos to Zub who looked all but dead after LMA embarrassed him in that one game (5 fouls in like 2 minutes).

Randle, man, that was PG's fault. Had he signed with LeBron, FO wouldn't have to keep any cap space open and could signed Randle to multiyr like he wanted, sigh

Exactly. I recalled that game and it was obvious @ that moment he was not an option. A different story now. Even his defense and rebounding has been average. I hope he can stay on court and Luke give him 24 plus minutes whether he is tarting or not as long he finish games.

I think most cap projections factor in letting go of Zub. IIRC his hold is something like 1.9m.

Teams will know this, and can do an Arenas provision signing that isn't even that much, like backload it so it's 6m up front, etc. Lakers would then have to likely renounce him while KD is making up his mind.

If Lakers move Zo, BI or Kuz, there's $$$ for Zu plus supermax.

Zubac was really sick during training camp and wasn't really ready for the first San Antonio Spurs game where Luke promptly dropped him on the bench and forgot about him.

Quote:
Then he got sick on his way back from Croatia. And not just a cold. Sick enough to be running a fever and gasping for air for days when training camp kicked off.

“The first week or even more of training camp, I don’t know how I got through it. I couldn’t run much, I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t have much air in my lungs,” Zubac told Silver Screen and Roll.


https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2018/10/7/17947332/ivica-zubac-frustrated-illness-lakers-training-camp-impact-stats-luke-walton-brandon-ingram

Luke played Zubac only 5 minutes in the San Antonio loss. Then 2 minutes the next game. Then Zubac had zero minutes for 18 of the next 24 games. Could we have used Zubac? Yeah probably.

When Zubac is getting minutes he is destroying the opposition.

Stats when he gets minutes this season:

30-39 minutes: 17.7ppg, 8.7rpg, 78.1% FG, 75.0% FT, 78.5% TS, 144 ORtg, 98 DRtg
20-29 minutes: 15.6ppg, 7.4rpg, 68.2% FG, 90.0% FT, 73.9% TS, 137 ORtg, 116 DRtg
10-19 minutes: 7.7ppg, 4.4rpg, 53.1% FG, 94.4% FT, 60.6% TS, 114 ORtg, 104 DRtg

If Zubac keeps this up, the Lakers should just negotiate a deal to pay Zubac but have it signed ONLY AFTER they've wrapped up their other free agents. They can negotiate the actual amount to stay competitive with other offers. Since they have his full Bird rights, they can pretty much go anywhere over the cap to resign him.

Zubac's $1,931,189 cap hold is a small price to pay if Zubac blossoms into a legit starting 5 in the league.

It's a better situation than Randle because Randle's cap hold was too high, and Randle (and his agent) wanted to leave. Hopefully this won't happen with Zubac.

If someone offers Zubac a contract right at the start of free agency, we can't match right?

Unless we get a commitment from a max free agent right at the start of free agency as well. But usually, those free agents take their time in deciding.

Zubac would have to sign the offer then as a RFA, the Lakers would have *2* days to match or let him go.

If you negotiate this right, Zubac listens to offers uses the numbers to come back to the Lakers but doesn't sign any offer sheets. This gives the Lakers time to wrap up their free agency and sign Zubac over the cap afterwards.

Signing an offer sheet would put the Lakers on the clock, if they can't lock down their main free agent targets in the *2* days after, then they would likely lose Zubac.

EDIT: changed match period from 7 days to 2 days based on NBA CBA

I think you're referring to the moratorium. IIRC it's not 7 days anymore.

And if we're past the moratorium, the period to match is 3 days (or less now).
