Los Angeles Clippers
For some reason the Phoenix Suns have been tied to Ivica Zubac.
But, why?
Not only is he not a stretch center, but while just a backup center, he would add over $6 million to the cap in each of the next three years beyond this summer.
Acquiring him without another major piece (but who?) is just not logical.
The Suns could do a bit of a salary dump with Kelly Oubre for Maurice Harkless and Patrick Patterson as well as the Clippers’ first round pick this season though.
This sucks for Phoenix, but keeping Bridges in the starting lineup and using Harkless off the bench might work while not only taking back a first but also creating around $40 million in salary cap space this summer.
