Being traded in the NBA is never an easy process, especially when it involves uprooting your family and settling into a new home. However, for Ivica Zubac, being traded from the Lakers to the Clippers turned out to be a surprisingly smooth experience. In 2019, Zubac was traded to the Clippers in a move that delighted him but left many Laker fans regretful. Zubac shared his perspective on the trade on a Podcast P episode, explaining that he was thrilled to join a team where he would have a starting role and more playing time. What made the trade even better was the fact that the Clippers were scheduled to play the Celtics right after the Lakers, making it incredibly convenient for Zubac. He didn’t even have to change hotels, as the Clippers were staying in the same place as the Lakers. This made it the easiest trade he could have imagined, allowing him to seamlessly transition from one team to the other without having to disrupt his living arrangements. The unique experience provided Zubac with a rare perspective on the trading process, demonstrating just how unpredictable and surprising life in the NBA can be.
