As if it wasn't enough that he has been atrocious this season, Lamarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs decide to mutually part ways. That means Aldridge would be out "indefinitely" or until he gets traded or moved to another team and like the Andre Drummond case, that could also take time. Having said that, this could also be good news for LMA owners as moving to a new team could increase his playing time and thus, increase his value compared to his early season stint with the Spurs. The question now is, where should he go for him to become a very valuable fantasy asset moving forward?

Another player that is frustrating his owners is Jaren Jackson Jr. Today, an update was provided and it was confusing. Taylor Jenkins, coach of the Grizzlies, said that JJJ has not done any contact drills yet, that means he hasn't really practiced with the team yet. But he also said that JJJ is expected to play this month. Honestly, we don't know what to say at this point, but there could be a lot of factors in deciding whether to hold on to him or just let him go and we tackled that in this quickie.

We also give you a bunch of injury updates and for our trade analysis, a good example of why more may not necessarily be better.
