We're available on all platforms. We are part of the number one. Sports Podcast Network,

the Lockdown Podcast Network. Now, there was a trade yesterday. I was not home when that

trade occurred. I did some analysis on it. I went through and adjusted projections on Basketball

Monster when I got back. And I didn't think that it needed a full show because honestly, I don't really know there's any impact or in a massive way for fantasy. The trade was, if you're unaware, Sacramento, again, probably you'd describe it as she'd themselves and stepping in it a few times. Yeah, it's probably accurate. Yeah, it's probably accurate. They sent out Dennis Schroeder,

who they overpaid in the summer free agency, in an insane move. They traded away Keone Ellis,

one of their better assets that's a useful rotation player for good teams, who they didn't play

at all. They also sent out a second round pick for some reason, and Dario Sharich, who they willingly traded for in the off

season only to never play him because he's bad and sent out Jonas Valenzhenius in a one-for-one swap.

They did all that while taking back a 28-year-old overpaid D'Andre Hunter who increases their

luxury tax payment. So all at all, an absolute masterclass. The reason why I'm not going to say

that there's necessarily any big winners from this

trade is I think that you're moving out of two guard players.

Now, of course, Karen Ellis, didn't play every night.

So while we can talk about two guys going out and opening up the guard rotation,

I'm not sure that it does that much.

What it does do is moving Schroeder out of there means that Malik Monk should play a lot more. Except, except, there's a lot of other things that are going to happen. Could Monk get traded, Levine get traded, Rusk get traded, DeRosen traded, Sabonis Trot? I don't know. There's a million things that happened there. If there was one thing I was going to do out of this trade, and I've already considered Malik Munk on that anyway,

it would just be to add Malik Munk.
