Dare to say! Zubac: The Lakers regret losing me. I develop better after leaving. In fact, the Lakers really don t regret it.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a giant team in the NBA. This team has won numerous honors in history and has produced countless superstars. However, in terms of team rookie training, the Lakers are often criticized, especially the rookies they selected are often not patiently trained to become talents and are hurriedly given up. From Ingram to young people like Ball, Hart, Kuzma, Caruso, etc. Later, he gained a foothold in other teams, but failed to make a career in the Lakers.

The same situation is center Zubac. The Lakers are facing a shortage of center positions, but they once had Zubac, but Zubac was almost given to their opponent Los Angeles Clippers at a bargain price by the Lakers General Manager Magic Johnson at the time. Now, Zubac has truly grown into a first-line center in the league, and has been officially selected for the All-Defensive Second Team this season. , which means he is already an inside player in the league that can call the wind and rain.

Only the Lakers sent Zubac away and they won't regret it. At least in Zubac himself, Lakers fans feel very sorry for losing him. At the same time, Zubac also believes that after leaving the Lakers, he will develop better. Recently, Clippers player Zubac was interviewed by the US media Basketball Network. Reporter asked: "Do you think the Lakers regret giving up centers like you? Because it looks like you are the kind of player they are missing now."

Zubac: "I know fans must regret it... On the streets of Los Angeles, I hear about that deal and Mike Muscala every day (the Lakers traded Muscala with Zubac). This is Lakers City, and most of them are Lakers fans, so I hear that deal every day. How they want me to stay on the team, how I feel I am perfect for them now because they are not playing now. "

"But for me, this was beneficial to my development. At that time, I didn't have many opportunities in the Lakers and didn't have much role, and then I got a bigger role in the Clippers - I started from the beginning. So in the end, this was very beneficial to me. As for whether the club regrets it now, I don't know, but I know that the fans regret it."

In fact, this is easy to understand. The development of players is first of all, from the personal growth and income. Zubac, who left the Lakers, was able to play, and they finally got a big contract of tens of millions. Zubac's salary this season is $11.7 million, and his contract was signed in the summer of 2024, with 3 years of $58.6 million. Converting into RMB, Zubac can earn 70 to 80 million a year. Zubac, 28, has become a billionaire.

In my opinion, Zubac did succeed after leaving the Lakers, but it would be less true to say that after the Lakers sent him away, they had been regretting it from the team to the fans. Because, although it is a pity for the Lakers to send Zubac away, judging from the final result, the Lakers are making sure to make a profit. Later, the Lakers came from the Pelicans' trade, and the biggest basis for completing this deal was that the Lakers retained flexible cap space.

Before Zubac completed the deal, he had reached the second year when he needed to renew his contract. The Lakers finally exchanged Zubac for Muscala, maintaining the flexibility of cap space, and finally achieving the Davis trade. Then to the story that followed, everyone knows that after the Lakers got the Thick Brows, they won the 2020 NBA championship. Although Zubac is developing well now, he has not won the championship in the Clippers. Overall, the Lakers are more successful.

Relatively speaking, what the Lakers regret is that they gave up Caruso in order to renew Horton Tucker, which is the deal that Lakers fans have always regretted. So although Zubac is good, for each other, separation may lead to the current situation, and it is not considered regret. Fans, what do you think?
