It’s lopsided for the short term but it’s even overall since the best years of Cade and Amen are still to come.

Hey Matt, what do you think about this deal (6 team, points league)? It’s pretty even according to the rankings, but for some reason seems lopsided? Team A Receives: Cade Cunningham, Amen Thompson, Onyeka Okongwu Team B Receives: Donovan Mitchell, Jaren Jackson Jr, 2024 1st (Likely top 6)

I was already way below consensus on him on my draft board and dynasty rankings and he was horrendous in the G League this year. This surgery is for a shin stress reaction on the opposite leg from the right foot issue he had two surgeries on last season but it’s not a positive sign, obviously. I was already out on him as an upside prospect so if you can “cash in” now (seems doubtful) then go for it.

Zen as fuck

Matt, what are you opinion about Whitehead after this new surgery? Is that related to previous problems? Is it time to cash in in dynasty while/if we still can? Drafted him with idea to be something like AJ Griffin but so far neither of them are having succesful career. Surely, both are only 19-20 almost until the new season.

I would see if a top 100ish asset gets it done.

Hey Matt, question for you. The Jayson Tatum manager in my dynasty points league is shopping him. I'm debating if I should trade for him to win now. If Tatum is #8, what type of player ranking should I package with #18 Cade Cunningham?

Because it’s unclear if he can maintain a large starting role going forward. Encouraging performances in the last week but the Magic have been willing to go with the hot hand at center and their defense benefits from having more rim protection than WCJ can offer next to Paolo. I would not be surprised to see WCJ traded this year and I think it’s unlikely he ends up in a 30+ minute role.
