Lombard went 90 in R10 — 50 above his 40 BE — and cash gen has flipped to +$6,028/round, the highest in this batch. After a string of sell calls as his cash gen stalled, this is a genuine reversal. At $270.6k averaging 66 with a value of 0.244, the buy case is back on. He is 12 games in so the cash cow window is narrowing, but at these economics you buy the bounce. Add him if you traded out — the numbers justify it.
