Concerned...I have him, but seeing all the talk about minutes etc, how is everyone feeling about his durability and whether a trade for a first rounder is possible...if so - who?
Or - are people riding it out and of the opinion that he's built to handle said workload.
Probably ride it out, but if you can swing a deal for a top-20 guy, not the worst idea in the world.
If you can leverage his elevated stats that 48 minutes generate, and trade him for a first rounder then do it!
But it might be a hard sell.
I'd expect you will struggle to go like for like on an upgrade like this, so i'd look to cross trade for a different position at the turn like a Jokic or similar. Will still be a stretch (I wouldn't send my joker for jimmy).
The downside here is it may cause a need to shuffle your stat sets a bit with other trades...
I was thinking of a Butler/Jokic trade if possible. I have Whiteside, so a boost in big mans stats would be greatly appreciated!
