I genuinely think Luke is trolling by not starting Zubac and playing him heavy minutes. Is it his conditioning? His defense? Is he in Luke's doghouse?

I don’t get this. So we’re not willing to waive a player to create a roster spot. Does that mean we would trade a player 1-for-1 to get him? What’s the difference? If they like the players so much that they’re not willing to waive any of them then why even say you’re interested in Melo?

seems like media just talking just to talk or lakers just putting false info out there so lebron doesnt look like a bad friend for not wanting to play with his friendI don’t get this.

Unless they are trying to just get him free and clear once Bulls release him?

So what are the Lakers gonna do with Zubac this offseason? He's playing the best basketball of his career and he's a free agent this offseason. Are we planning on letting him walk for nothing? Is he gonna be a piece in a trade package?

They have his Bird rights so i fully expect them to hold on to dude if he continues to play like this, i highly doubt Zubac is getting offers in the first few days, smaller players won't start getting those calls until the big FA make their moves

Man if they let him walk.
. I am not saying pay big money for him, but he is a nice piece that could get a nice payday from another team. Pay but DON'T overpay.

We have his bird rights and his qualifying offer is around $1.9m currently but I'm certain that if he continues to play well some team will offer him a bigger deal. He's 21 and improving soft hands, legit NBA size, can hit FTs. This off season there are a lot of teams with cap space and once the big name free agents sign, secondary players like Zubac will get paid. I can see another team offering him a 2 year, $12m deal.

give Zu an inflated one year deal to use as salary filler for a Unibrow trade.

I was a senior in high school and I remember the breaking news coming on sportscenter that he had gotten over 70 and then they cut to the game.
