Lindsay posted 59 in R12 — 4 above his 55 BE but well below his 74.3 season average, and cash gen has tapered to $10,900/wk at a price of $373.2k. The wave has broken: he started at $122k and has nearly tripled in value in 5 games, which is elite cash cow work. But at $373k and scoring in the 50s, the remaining cash gen is marginal. Now is the window to trade him out and bank the profit before further price erosion begins. Sell — the job is done, take the money and upgrade.
