    He's not a scrub, but he's not a fit for us anymore. He'd do great in San Antonio or Memphis.

    I think replace Zubac might be replaced by Bryant, but I agree.

    Bogut is important to what we're doing as an identity right now.

    If we could move him along with Deng it would be ideal I think. Zubac that is.

    I still don't think we should give up on him in the middle of his sophomore year in this league at 20 years old.

    I'm not even sure I like the idea of putting him in a trade to get rid of Deng, JC, or Randle if it comes to that. If Brook or Marc Gasol can still be effective in today's game and both of them those are in there late 20's early 30's I think Zubac at 20 yrs old will figure it out eventually. He's not consistent right now but he does have a nice shot with touch.

    So does Thomas Bryant and we don't need both of them. I like Zubac and I would be fine keeping him around. However, we don't need 2 Centers who are 20 years old that need developing. I think Zubac is more talented overall, but Bryant is definitely a better fit for what we're doing. Besides we're expected to be in the running for Cousins and it's not like Lopez is old, either of them can be our long-term starting Center so where does that leave Zu? If Zubac can help us clear space, I don't have a problem with it. I'm not trying to dump him for nothing, but there's still a way he can help us that's greater than his contribution.

    I would get rid of Thomas Bryant than if I had to choose between the two. But right now they are both on cheap, rookie deals and help fill out the roster for next year. Let's just let them continue to develop in our farm system if they can't get on the court.

    Bryant is just a better fit. More defensive minded, has a decent outside jumper, and is a hustle big. That fits more with the traditional post player (although I love post-up bigs). If Zubac can help us get LeBron and/or Paul George by greasing a trade, I'm doing it without question.

    He's not a scrub. We've seen scrubs.

    Good hard (illegal) screens and I love the cheap shot on Harden

    Played well in the 10 mins he got, that's all we should ask of him.

    Yup. 15 max is perfect. I definitely love him at the moment starting. Savvy veteran that usually will be a + in the stat sheet and in the lil things we all love of which he does. Talk about insurance paying off.

    Always love seeing him super early in warm ups before anyone else working on those 2 footers lol.

    He sets the kind of screens that no one else on the team would/could. To be fair he gets away with a lot but he can get our shooters open.
