Indiana Pacers Land Veteran Big Man In Mock Trade With the LA Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers have been off to a shocking start in 2025/26, leading many to believe this team could start to clean house in the coming months. Despite their struggles, the team do have some very intriguing pieces that could net them big returns, with James Harden potentially the biggest piece they can move ahead of the trade deadline.

However, he's not the only player that could land them significant assets, with many now looking to talented big man Ivica Zubac. The 28-year old scored a career high 17 points per game a season ago, and with an average of 16 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists per game, he's blossomed into a fantastic player in the NBA.

With the Clippers struggles though, it makes sense to cash in on him while they can, with Clutch Points recently suggesting this massive trade to get him to the Indiana Pacers as a replacement for Myles Turner.

In the deal, the Clippers would land Obi Toppin, Jarace Walker, a first-round pick and two second-round picks, and while it may not be the biggest deal they could get, it's certainly a trade that would make sense for both teams.

On paper, it makes the most sense for the Clippers to move Zubac given their horror start to the 2025/26 season and their lack of a future, and with Zubac's deal running for two more years after this one, landing in Indiana would be fantastic for the Pacers.
