Tony Jones, a long-time reporter for ‘The Athletic,’ appeared on ‘The Zach Lowe Show’ and destroyed the trade hopes of fans of the LA Clippers worldwide. Fans expected that any team interested in James Harden would have to submit at least one first-round pick, preferably an unprotected one, but Jones said the former MVP isn't worth it and that Ivica Zubac leads the Clippers’ roster in trade value.
Though Clipper Nation might be adamant on a return for Harden, is Jones entirely wrong? No, Zubac is undoubtedly Lawrence Frank’s best asset and should be protected at all costs; he is the closest player to untouchable LA has.
