    They got a haul for Zubac. Not really sure why Indiana gave such loose protections on that pick and your consolation is a 30 yo Zubac? I means he's good an all but come on

    Typical "last piece" type of deal.
    They went to the Finals the year before, lost Turner and now feel with their top pick this year and Zubac they can go back to contending.
    So they're willing to pay more because it's the final addition they need for contention.
    Also got away from paying Mathurin as they must feel Hali/Nemb is their guard duo for the future

    i don't like the zubac deal for indy, but i get that they were going to lose mathurin or have to trade away guys like nesmith, toppin, or nembhard if they wanted to keep him. they must have felt zu was the best center they would be able to get (feel like mavs would have given gafford without requiring the picks, though).

    indy's gm made some cryptic comment about finances, and i'm just wondering if they felt the wiggle room under the first apron they might get if they don't have a pick 6-10 was worth it next year? their scouts must also be fairly certain about the dropoff after the top 4.

    Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
    Suffer one of the most heartbreaking losses in NBA finals history after a miracle run, tank for a full years, and you lose a pick in a draft that is being compared to Hakeem and LeBron years for freaking Zubac

    Zubac attracts bad trades

    The pick that the Indiana owes the Clippers miraculously fell to #5 (top 4 protected) so the Clippers get it. At least if you are doing them a favor Silver, you can come down hard on the Aspirations investigation.

    i'm still mad about this today. how is pritchard still employed after that?

    like, you do realize that if you had the 5th overall pick right now, you could trade just that for a center of zubac's quality or better. instead, you traded mathurin's rights, the 5th pick, and another unprotected 1st for zubac...just so that you could make sure he was there for the last two months of your full season tank?
