All right, it is the Waver Wire. We've already, as you know, got the first lot of NBA Cup quarterfinals done.

You know that Orlando and the Knicks are now playing on Saturday. You know that the Raptors and the Heat are now playing on Monday. They have no more games this week. That is done. We'll find out more from Wednesday's games. The two winners will also play on Saturday. The two losers we are not sure about. Probably Monday, maybe Sunday. Don't know. Do not know. We'll figure it out today. All we are here talking about is the waiver. Just some news that did drop is the big valet Derek lively, to nobody's surprise at all, is having season-ending surgery.

The only difference you can suggest is if you're looking at, especially on Basua Monster, our projections long term, you know, the floor value of Gafford's numbers rise up because I hadn't fully ruled lively out for the season yet.

So the ifs there for a guy like Gaffett also who's not performing well and is also currently dealing with an ankle injury every second game.

If you wanted to grab Daniel Gafford, I'm not going to talk about Gafford anymore on this

show or this lively scenario.

If you wanted to add Gafford and hold him now,
