NBA Trade Rumours Roundup, January 28th: Lakers star set to leave, Warriors interested in Knicks star and more

Lakers center is attracting trade interest

Golden State Warriors v Los Angeles Lakers

Ivica Zubac has been the Lakers' third choice center for much of the season and has played just 29 games for the team. Nevertheless, the LA Times is citing anonymous scouts who believe that Zubac could leave Los Angeles this month:

The 7 foot 1-inch Zubac has intrigued scouts with his soft hands and effectiveness in the pick-and-roll offense... The reviews go from poor man’s Pau Gasol on offense because of his great feel for the game to plays like a center should. (One scout suggested) He’s precisely the kind of player a team could ask for late in trade talks, good enough and inexpensive enough for a team to acquire, yet not meaningful enough for the Lakers to kill a major trade.

Zubac was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2016 NBA draft and the center is averaging 8.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game this season.
