Getting traded from LA to LA is one of the easiest trades possible.
Getting traded in the NBA is never a fun process.
It often involves relocating your family, house, and having to live in a temporary place as you get settled in. However, getting traded from the Lakers to the Clippers is a much easier experience – just ask Ivica Zubac.
In 2019, Ivica Zubac was famously traded by the Lakers to the Clippers in a trade that most Laker fans now rue and lament. Zubac on the other hand, was thrilled about it. He explained the whole process on an episode of Podcast P.
“I was cool with it, I was happy with it,” Zubac said on an episode of Podcast P. “I went somewhere where I was like, I’m a starter every night, gonna get my minutes, it’s a young team, I was happy.”
The best part of the trade for Ivica Zubac was not only the fact that he didn’t have to move, but the fact that the Clippers were playing the Celtics right after the Lakers were.
Zubac didn’t even have to switch hotels in what he described as the easiest trade ever.
