Hello, everybody. Welcome to Fantasy NBA today, Sports Ethos show brought to you by our great partners at Fanduel.

I'm Aaron Brewski, joined as always by the great Dr. A, eating some chips over there.

And on this show, we're delivering the top players to stash ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

So let's get started. Jason Stavent News hit yesterday last night, today, however you want to look at it.

Prior to that news, it was looking like he was aiming for a March return.

Now he's thinking about it.

And Joe Missoula coach of the Boston Celtics has said that there wasn't a setback with his injury.

So it's a mental process, it feels like.

And it's really interesting that he was gung-ho and now the needle is swung to maybe not playing this season. And my thought process as expressed on the last show and the show before that was that maybe we're just riding the waves of Jason Tatum's mindset as he wraps his head around. Do I want to join this team? Do I feel like I'm going to hold this team back? What about the injury risk? And then Doc and I have a bet for a burrito that he plays more or less than seven and a half or eight and a half games. I don't know what the official number ended up. It's eight and a half. I gave you a lot of points on that one.

And I'm taking my side of the bet for fun, but, you know, as we talk about stashes,

as it relates to the, you know, the fantasy things we all plan,

let's keep it easy here, Doc.

Are you going to stash Jason Tatum in an IR slot where he can't hurt you?

Sure. Sure.

Okay.

All right.

So we're starting now.

What about in a league where you have something to lose by having them in the back end of your

roster so you only have, say, three active guys instead of four active guys?

I'm not holding him.

Okay.

So that's where the line is drawn for you.
