Although Zubac is a much better player than Gafford, I do agree Indy paid a very steep price. It could really bite them if they don't get the top four pick.
Another interesting thing. Indy is projected to be a couple of million in tax in the summer. If they get that pick, it will rise to over 10 million. This would probably make Toppin available for salary relief
