Specific thing majority of the time or they’ll throw in some aggressive uh and Hyper irrelevant but you know that’s just how things Roll All right we are going to talk waver wire for our second major waiver wire show of the week um and let’s talk about it cuz

There is some stuff that has uh broken overnight we’ll get to that a little bit later on and we will start by looking at the guys who are must roster players remember we’ve sort of changed the definition of of this or as we’re through the season now we’re looking

Shorter term two to three weeks guys that are 65% or below in the roster percentage number on Yahoo who you just shouldn’t be leaving on the wawire regardless of your league we’re going to do a categories one first then we’re going to do a points League one and just

Six names again this is not everybody same as whatever we do it’s not just uh these are not the exclusive lists we’re not going to cover 300 players every single show it’s it’s not possible to do so terms of must rosters here for category leagues the number one guy on

This list is very obviously the the big avocado W Drummond the report came out today that Nicola vich is going to be out for 7 to 10 days and you would have known that had you listened to this show yesterday because that is exactly what we suggested it would be minimum a week

Probably closer to two to four weeks and I yes 10 days is less than two weeks I call on 10 days we’ll see it’s a groin strain I think we’re obviously dealing a minimum week that was very obvious at the time and yeah I still

Think it’s going to be two weeks and it could push longer but 7 to 10 days is enough that you’ve got to add on R Dr you just have to you don’t leave these players on the wire you just do it it’s simple right but you knew that two days

Ago when we first said go and at him you knew what hopefully hopefully he did it big avocado time Isa Haren strin still available in 40% of leagues don’t know why not sure what people are doing uh wake up add him enjoy it that’s how we

Do it Alex kuso also still available in over 50% of leaks again I know the BL gets hurt all the time I know but he’s good he’s very good the role is not really changing maybe if Zack LaVine comes back potentially who cares these are the biggest no it’s weird to me

There’s three Bulls on this list but the biggest no-brainers of all time those top three names even the next one Draymond Green he might be back in a week you might have a distaste for Draymond Green and his Antics and I understand that but if you’re in a

Category League he should be rosted by somebody like very clearly he is a top 100 player very clearly and he’s available like 40 plus% of leagues I think it’s like 45% of leagues going at him Patrick Williams we’ll talk about him a little bit later on as well but I

Know he’s stunk yesterday doesn’t mean you go and drop him go and pick him back up and the other one there is Brandon psky yes having Draymond and psky on this list might seem counterintuitive or when Draymond comes back psky will lose out yeah maybe but also Maybe not maybe

Not like could kaminga be the one who loses out do they take Char’s minutes or Jackson Davis’s has psky shown himself to be one of the best players on this team yes so don’t worry about what happens when Draymond comes back figure that out later on you know you know

I’ve got so many motos on this if I created a t-shirt with all my modos it’ just be all words you get ahead of it figure that out later whatever uh Jack Jack him off whatever stuff lift up your desk so many different things but figure it out later don’t worry about it

Oh later who cares just go and at him enjoy it you should have added him two weeks ago and you would have enjoyed all of this time and then you figure that out later that is what you do it’s what you do you figure it out later let’s look at

The must roster list for points leagues um a lot of the same names on here in fact the top two are still there the big avocado I don’t know what I was going to call something probably uh racially stereotypical but that’s fine we’ll call him the isaah hardenstein that’s it Go

And Rost of those two guys Cole Anthony I still believe is a must the guy in points he is less so in category leagues but I do think that if he’s there in a points they I I would grab him I don’t know when Mar Al FZ is coming back and

Neither do you Grayson Allen is a must Ruster in both formats I believe while Bradley Beal is out we’ just got to keep rolling with Grayson but he’s a little bit higher up in that points League priority you got Brandon psky there and then Jaylen Suggs again probably still

Someone to have in a category league but there was just a few other priorities on the category league list over suggsy but he’s there on the points league list so you got Drummond hartenstein Cole Anthony uh Grayson Allen Brandon py and jayen Suggs is my top six names who are

Widely available and if you’re in a points League you shouldn’t be letting these guys be available and this rule again I will continue to State this rule the shallower your league is you in a 10 Team league well I’m actually in the 10 Team league is it actually worth

Dropping someone for Andre Drummond yes yes it is because the back end of your roster your worst player usually initial worst player is the 80th best player or 90th best player you should be just moving through the back end of your roster can Andre Drummond have a top 40

Run here for two weeks yes so your guy who’s the 100th best player can be moved on from because the difference again go and have a look in your league the 100th best player versus the 140th best player the difference might be two and a half fantasy points on per game on average

Maybe that’s an exaggeration but the difference between these guys is so so small that moving through and just getting a guy that instead of being your a guy who is 100th which is still good but you get top 40 numbers for two weeks then you drop him and then you get the

110 10 guy back cuz you you’re top 100 guy got picked up by somebody else it doesn’t matter that much the difference is so small in points leagues in category leagues it’s true as well but more so for points Le I go and have a

Look now I’ll go check this out the per game numbers because maybe I’m just maybe I’m talking out my ass that is distinctly possible the 100th best player in points leagues this season is averaging 28.27433 points difference between 100 and 130 three points that is not very

Much at all that is not very much at all so when we talk about like the streaming in ability in shallower leagues you can find guys on the wire who very easily can like just by adding one extra game in you’ve already made up that difference just by adding someone extra

To an extra day for a stream you’ve made it up so don’t sacrifice cuz your guys oh he’s actually you know 27 he’s 110th for the year don’t worry about it get the guy who might get you 35 for 2 weeks and then someone else that will pop up

And then someone else will pop up then someone else will pop up yeah streaming it is very very um important yes important is the word today’s episode is brought to you by eBay Motors eBay Motors is partnering up with me with locked on fantasy basketball with the

Locked on podcast Network to help you get some of the best fantasy picks each week all season long so when you’re scouting the waiver wire they can help you find the players that’ll be a guaranteed fit on your roster so who are we looking at let’s talk about Jaylen

Johnson cuz I’m not going to talk about him much in this show but he was available in some leagues he’s back if he is available on your wave what are you doing going at him now you might say well Josh that’s very obvious but it’s not because I can see his roster

Percentage it’s not sitting at 80 plus per. so go on at him Johnson is the starter he is going to be good for the rest of the season I am very confident in this so if for some reason he’s sitting there and people are skeptical Jaylen Johnson is your waiver wire guy

To go pick up but as you know the rest of this show has about 50 other names that we can talk about for the wer wire so we’ll get to those in a second but I’m here to help you get fantasy championships fantasy victories and have

Fit only available to us customers eligible items only and exclusions apply okay um so we’ve done that part of the show we’ve done the must roster players so it’s probably time for us to look at droppable players get that say droppable as always a disclaimer you

Don’t have to drop them you don’t have to you can you don’t have to but they got you got to look at him go hm do I need this um anti- Legend on my team and the answer I think in a lot of these cases

Is going to be no and the number one name on this list is the Baptist John Collins you do not have to drop John Collins he stinks at the moment his upside is very minimal I think and at some point I believe he is going to lose starters minutes permanently it’s

Already sort of happening KY Lin a better player than him walk kastle’s a better player than him and Taylor Hendricks is a better Prospect than what he provides Collins could get traded somewhere but nobody as you can tell by the return the return for John Collins

Atlanta got was Rudy Gay who plays for nobody and second round pick nobody values John Collins in the NBA unfortunately for John kolls so they’re not going to be like well another team’s going to get him and start him and play that’s just not going to happen right so

Again if we’re in a situation where you go Andre d my boy but I’m not sure I want to drop John Collins you do it you do it Collins is fine he’s okay but all that okay could turn into really quickly same with D’Angelo Russell now there are a lot of D’Angelo Russell

Stands out there if you’re watching this show hello welcome it’s good to see you guys I’ve already seen them across the ball monster pages and forums wild the Lakers benjam is the third highest scorer I’ll tell you why because he’s not very good he’s a bad Defender his

Skill set doesn’t mesh with the other guys on the team he’s already been benched this season Once he struggled at other times this season he was benched in the playoffs he was resigned to be traded all of those things are true so I don’t think there’s any look I I know

That their starting lineup is probably the worst constructed starting lineup in the NBA currently but the solution to that is not D’Angelo Russell back into the group the solution is can we just put Austin Reeves our third best player in there but we’ll see what they do with

That Russell even as a starter was trending down he was playing 28 minutes a night and he was not really worth it now he’s getting 17 now this could very I could be wrong on this and Darin ham could go you know what this starting lineup is actually not it which is very

Clearly true and we’ll go back to Russell which again would be wrong I think but he could do it but I just think that the return that Russell’s been giving us has not been very good even as a starter so if you want to move on you move

On Asar Thompson unfortunately for Mr Thompson um it’s not happening in Detroit they are too wetted to the failed experiment that is ISA Stewart as an NBA player and they just keep pumping the minutes in and now the thing that’s crazy to me about this piss and there’s

So much I’m going to talk about 20 minutes with the piss I won’t but the report from Shams comes out today are the Pistons are targeting fours they want like an Oobi they maybe get miles Bridges or Pascal sakam if you know that you need a four so desperately

Stop trying to make your backup center a starting power for stop it you know who’s a power forward on this team buam bogdanovich you know who’s also a power forward on this team I think Assad Thompson but you’re trying to shoehorn your backup center in there when you

Know you need an upgrade of that position it makes no sense the way that this team it’s it’s not quite it’s the way that the Rockets built everything around Kevin Porter as our guy to the detriment of every other player the Piston’s like well we just got to make sure everything’s about

Stewart guys stop it what are you doing irrespective of that that’s what they’re doing Assad Thompson’s minutes are all over the shop his Productions all over the shop he can’t shoot for you do not need to roster Assad Thompson Rowan Barrett he’s just a regular on this I’m

Goingon to name this the Rowan Barrett Memorial droppable list you don’t need to roster him in category leagues there’s not enough minutes to justify it Russell Westbrook is playing better at the moment without kawhai so if you did want to hold him while kawhai is out I

Get it that is totally okay and he had a really good game yesterday against the Hornets but he did have a really good game but long term I don’t see it and very obviously Jaylen green is not it we are moving into oh is this guy even an

NBA starter category he’s still very young there’s still room to grow but it is year three he’s played big minutes for two full years and I’ve barely seen any growth in fact all I’ve seen is regression and that is really disappointing and in fantasy we very

Comfortably move on we can do that no problem you could get him back I believe he was dropped in one of the lock on Fantasy Basketball bowls and someone spent $900 on him out of $1,000 budget which I hope that’s going and I know the guy that did it I’m pretty sure was

Right at the top of the standing so he had a little bit luxury but yeah I think he might regret spending that much money on him anyway Jaylen green is a dropper rusi let’s look at some points Le guys who are these are all guys and again I’m

Changing a little bit of the the C offs of this previously it was like do I project them out to the top 150 now I’ve gone out to the top 140 yet they’re available or they’re rosted in 60% plus of leagues Four Points leagues Zar Thompson we just talked about it I don’t

Think you hold on to NAS Reed in 1210 points leagues you just can get way more value streaming through that spot and now towns is back as well greed’s fine but he’s got a real ceiling on what he does and we obviously saw that when towns was out he didn’t impact him

Really at all Jaylen green yeah D Russell yeah herb Jones I could have put him on the category drop list and I think i’ if you needed to move on from Herb in a 12 team category League fine I think it’s fine but in a points League there is zero zero justification for

Holding on to Herb Jones in a points League none and then I’ve got Andrew Wiggins on the points league droppable list as well you could throw a kavus cwell pope on there too but I think he’s already been dropped in enough leagues in points Wiggins was better last game

So I get it if you want to hold but as an overall thing we’ve been putting on this list for weeks and weeks and weeks and he’s still sitting at over 60% rostered so that’s why we need to uh go that direction and stick him um stick

Him there all right let’s look at the most added play over the last uh 48 hours and some pretty pretty obvious names on here the number one name on the list is the big avocado Andre Drummond rightfully so second is Kelly UB Jr with embiid out

Again UB is going to get more minutes or emom out he’s going to get more minutes but more importantly more usage this is how UB thrives this is how UB scored 20 points a game last season with a bunch of players out getting a lot of shots

Doing nothing else and it’s why I don’t like him when the team is full because all he does is need usage to score right so now sure but later on no add him good I was surprised to see Jeremy soan be the third most added player they do have

A back toback coming up Thursday Friday which cool he’s playing okay he’s fine to stream I just didn’t think that many people would be running to grab soan on yaho the three most added names that aren’t uh Drummond or UB number one was Craig Porter up almost 11,000 ads

What what okay um all right sure at this time I I I haven’t heard that Donovan Mitchell is out I know Darius Garland is out but that doesn’t really matter I’m just going to double check maybe they have seen Mitchell out no Mitchell’s out and was at shoo around and lever was out

And shoot around as well so I don’t I don’t really get it I don’t I like Craig Porter I wouldn’t have rushed in that many leagues the next one the big fow day Ron sharp yeah we ready for 3 minutes today because Nick claxon’s resting on Wednesday last time Nick

Claxon was out we saw sharp really like make me look like honestly like a because I was like you got to go and add day on Sharp Nick claxon’s out and then they didn’t start him and he played three minutes I think sharp has improved a lot since then I think

Jacqu Vaughn’s handling of sharp has improved they still could start Darian Smith at Center they could but sharp is an clear must ad for must stream for today this is only a one game thing for Clon so don’t worry too much about that but that’s a strong ad and then Grayson

Allen one of the top added guys on Yahoo yeah that should have happened weeks and weeks ago but people have you know caught on after Christmas I guess and we’ll see whether he gets dropped um whether he gets dropped after after that which you he very well could we we know

How people can be somewhat fickle at times today’s episode is also brought to you by prize Pi prize piix is the largest daily fantasy sports platform in North America it’s also the easiest and most exciting way to play DFS it’s just you up against the numbers instead of battling thousands of other players

Including the pros and the sharks they just put up a player projection and you just choose more or less you do between two to six of those you stick them in an entry and you can win up to 25 times your money back they got so many different players that you can choose

From so many different player props not player props you player stats points assists rebounds steals blocks threes fantasy points the combos they got in there in the specials League which is like um three-pointers made plus um receptions in football and two different players Travis Kelce LeBron James do

They go more or less than 10 and a half combined you do all that as well it’s all over there it’s fast it’s easy it’s fun and you can win up to 25 times your money $10 in equal $250 out if you hit on those six player projections so go to

Price.com lockon NBA and use the code locked on NBA for a first deposit match up to $100 that is price pi.com locked on NBA the code is locked on NBA for a first deposite match up to $100 price pick is daily Fantasy Made Easy okay um we’ve done the most added

Players so that would mean the smart the smart money would be that we’re going to do the most dropped players get that gabage exactly what we’re going to do who is down in their roster percentage more than anybody and number one on that list is Trace Jackson Davis down

37% he wasn’t been good the last couple of games I am giving it a little bit more time cuz I still am convinced that he is what the Warriors need but if he continues to be buried as a 16 minute a night third string Center then we don’t

Hold I will give it a little bit more time I will give it through this week and then we’ll see but people needed to move on if they needed to drop Jackson Davis to get the guaranteed short-term production of Andre Drummond I totally understand that that is reasonable to me

Reasonable but you don’t have to do that also the um Lecky Beasley down 19% cool I’m I’m all for it and we add him back later on if he gets hot he played limited minutes last game but we know what he is he’s a points and threes guy

Sometimes get get steals but if he’s not playing 31 a night then you cannot trust it at all so move on T Horton Tucker DMP last game was it because of the foot injury they said technically he was available but even so with George back done getting minutes Horton Tucker needs

To be a 30-minute a night starting point guard not because he’s good but he needs those minutes for you to care about him in fantasy and if he doesn’t get it then you move on he’s one of those guys again there’s quite a few players where there are very Stark differences in people’s

Opinions D’Angelo Russell is one of them someone that I’m not going to name cuz I don’t want to name every game he plays for Brooklyn he another one of them and Horton Tucker is another one of them one of those go man he’s so good why don’t

They give him the minutes he’s awesome he does this he does this and I go yeah but like I can’t like look at the turnovers look at the shot selection get anyone else involved yeah he’s cool he’s got long arms that’s sick but I just

Don’t buy it with him I don’t get it and the the Jazz obviously agreed with me because they benched him uh for keontay George so yeah you drop him and then if he gets a starting job back you add him simple as that the next two are the two

Highest dropped guys on Yahoo and I don’t I don’t I don’t um agree number one is Jaden Ivy down almost 3,000 teams yeah he struggled last game he’s also a top 100 player over the last week even with that struggle and yes they benched him for laughing Legend Alec Burks you

Said that clip after they lost the record 27 games I get like going to talk to your teammates or friends or former teammates after the game um and talking to them but after your team is just lost 27 straight you’re a part of it huge part of it and then you’re just audibly

Cackling visibly cackling out on the court it’s a look I have no problem oh these athletes is too buddy buddy I I know this they grew up they’re friends I understand that you catch up with them that’s all good but there are certain situations where you don’t do it and

After losing a franchise record when your franchise player K Cunningham just put his dick out on the court and laid it out there for 24 minutes of that second half played them all played his guts out and he’s visibly upset and you’re out there cackling like get out

Of here Burks like that is dis that is really that is disgusting to me go and catch up with that bloke in the locker room I can’t remember who it was it was someone from the Nets I don’t remember who it was obviously they played the Nets but um

Yeah but they played Burks over Ivy down the stretch and I just don’t think a Monty Williams coach that is going to roll so I just would not have dropped Jaden Ivy and I definitely would have dropped wouldn’t have dropped Patrick Williams but this is also a great

Insight into there are going to be people in your leagues and I know this is not you if you’re watching and listening this this is not you it’s not but there’s going to be people in your leagues and they see a game they go oh my God he’s scored six points while he’s

Gone so many of you not you not you not you so many of you as the collective fantasy basketball grouping play in leagues where we only count points as a category there must be a lot of those guys around because Patrick Williams scored six points in one game so he got

Dropped everywhere I’m not a Patrick William fan I think it was a complete overdraft at that point and I think he’s not very good but we’ve also got like a solid track record here of good minutes and good production that one Sixpoint game shouldn’t mean you go and drop him

That is how you lose fantasy that is a silly reactionary move Chris D yeah sure down 3,000 teams move on you don’t need to roster him he played 18 minutes at the start that’s all good and the writing’s on the wall with that one the other one yeah maybe maybe not so much

Let’s look at um what are we look at next let’s look at some injury Replacements cuz this is where things get um a little interesting because in Denver there was some news that broke while I was sleeping and I woke up to it so that was really interesting and it

Appears that um Aaron Gordon’s dog has got that Aaron Gordon in him because Gordon has suffered bites from a dog to his face and to his shooting hand that required 21 stitches that is going to be serious we hope he’s okay and no infection develops or anything like that that can be bad

Right um that’s that’s a that’s a decent chunk of time out that is like even to heal the stitches you can’t play with big stitches through your face and hand that’s like a week minimum um is there any nerve damage we don’t know I’m going to say two weeks minimum this might be

Four I I don’t know that now the problem we have here is that it seems relatively obvious on the outside that all right Aaron Gordon’s out he feels a really strong defensive role on this team as a as a forward pton Watson’s been pushing up and getting minutes they’ll go with pton

Watson but the Dr Michael Malone may not do that there’s four other options that he could use last time Aaron Gordon was out with the heel issue they started dnp washed Legend Justin holiday now Jus holiday has been out of the rotation but this is Michael Malone anything can

Happen so if holiday starts I would not add him they could start Christian Brown who played 10 minutes last game and honestly has been relatively disappointing this season they could start rookie Julian St who will have a 10-point quarter and then score 10 points in the next seven games combined

Or they could do the logical thing and St Pon Watson but youo when I’ve got an opportunity to make the right call I would always go with my you know Hotel spooking Legend pton Watson but I don’t know that Michael Malone is going to do

That but what I do know is if I line up pton Watson Justin holiday Julian straa and Christian Brown one of them stands out for fantasy and it’s Payton Watson so what do we like to say on this channel apart from El like we say a lot of things

But that’s one of the words we say but what else like to say get ahead of it I don’t know that he’s going to start pton Watson I have no idea I don’t know that he’s if he’s going to start Watson or straa or holiday or brown or something

Completely different and go Reggie Jackson and push everyone up a spot I don’t know any of that but I do know that the one who would likely pay off is Watson it’s not holiday it’s Pro it’s almost definitely not brown it might be straa but it probably

Isn’t and the guy who’s been getting the most minutes out of that group is currently Watson so he’s got the current Michael Malone love he’s got the fantasy skill set he’s The Logical replacement and all those things suggest to me going at him this could this is not as

Clearcut this has been another thing man I’ve got so many tenants that I’ve said all season is that when a point guard or a center Goes Down The Replacements are very clear V Drummond Murray Reggie Jackson it’s a one for one nearly every time if a two a

Three or a four goes down well they could throw four different players in there the starting three moves to the four he plays more minutes the backup two goes to the backup three and there’s seven BLS who get six extra minutes each and that becomes a little bit more

Cloudy all right backup point guard backup center one for one replac it’s become a lot easier the twos threes and fours harder and this is a four that’s out or three however you want to classify Gordon and Porter but still I’m taking the chance on pton Watson the next injury replacement is

Big dick think Richards I don’t know when doubtful Legend Mark Williams is coming back maybe it’s this week maybe it’s next year maybe he’s a figment of our imaginations but we just keep rolling with Richards until he returns I’ve got Derrick Jones on that list and yes Derrick Jones will continue to start

When Kyrie returns but he’s value will drop when Kyrie returns so for now we just keep going with Derrik Jones he’s a 12T League guy I’m going to throw Cody Martin on this list because I just got to throw some random names out there sometimes 1% rosted Gordon Haywood goes

Down Brad Miller’s dealing with an ankle problem Martin played 23 minutes in his second game back and had four Steals and he is a Steve Clifford guy I don’t think that you add Cody Martin in 10 or 12 te leagues is at least streamable but in deeper Leagues with Haywood likely out

Yeah Bryce mcgall will get some run but Martin might play 27 minutes 10 points four rebounds three assists two steals two threes it’s possible that’s at least deep League consideration and the last two just still remain cuz they’re not rosted anywhere near enough sadik Bay Jaylen Johnson’s back but DeAndre Hunter

Is out B red everywhere and so should Ty this season Dylan Brooks has an oblique strain that is likely going to keep him out a week or so maybe more so e now has a path to 30 minutes if you’re worried about his minutes rightfully so you

Shouldn’t be now go and add tar een if he is sitting there on your waiver wire in fact out of all those names een I think is the the big priority there or maybe it’s Richards but they are still tremendous value guys that are available still on your waiver wire and lastly

We’re going to go through um a bunch of other names six other names that we do need to talk about here briefly to end the show number one on this list is scooter Henderson because again what do we want to do shop early avoid the rush

I don’t know that sw’s going to figure it out he might not very clearly he might not but he was good yesterday and we’re turning more into a run of instead of one good game seven bad ones it might be three good four bad or four good three bad and it’s getting

Better and hopefully they start to prioritize him more over Malcolm Brogden the higher you are in the standings the more aggressive you can be in grabbing Scoot and sitting on it you don’t have to grab him but he’s at least worth discussion because again somebody else will do

It and then it might it look it almost probably won’t work out until February that that is true but it might not and again we like to get ahead of it we like to have ability to go through this stuff I’m surprised that I didn’t see

Jaylen Smith on the list of most added players I know he got hurt last game with his head when he sat on the bench in return this is is a to me option that he could literally be a starter I don’t think he will be but he could be a

Starter the rest of the season and be a top 100 player rest of the season that is distinctly possible yet he sits there 92% available it’s way too much and I’ve probably buried the lead here that just shouldn’t be sitting there in that many leagues it might not work out he might

Have a concussion he might play 20 minutes as a starter I I I don’t care Julian champany 3% rosted I think bubbles is quite a good play player he’s starting for the Spurs I don’t know whether he stick starting I would have honestly given him a shot to start in

The preseason I think he’s that good 3% rostered he is low so that means if you’re in a 16 team leager he’s there if you’re in a 14 team leager I would grab him as well in a 12 I probably wouldn’t but I’d bloody consider it Gary Trent

The trend is there it’s moving up he’s pushing forward I’m not adding him in 12 but he’s on my stream list he’s there now 27 28 at night and I think if you see a change the Raptor starting lineup Maybe soon you’ll see Trent in there and

I’m not a Trent fan as I’m sure you’re well aware but he’s moving into that zone the last two names I just want to get more Juniors on here Nick Smith junor 1% rostered didn’t play much last game but the injuries are piling up ish Smith is very clearly not the answer

Just Smith is a name just to watch to see if he can carve out any sort of small role with a Haywood injury I don’t think that he will but we watch it and the other one’s Vince Williams who’s only 5% rosted even with smart back he

Put up a really good line he should be rosted in every single 16 or deeper leag league and probably probably 14 team leagues honestly I don’t really think he’s going anywhere and that is the end of today’s show so go ahead and you know what to do if you’re on audio you follow

This podcast but why you double bang it and jump over to the video side and hit the Subscribe hit the notification Bell hit the thumbs up and if you are on audio and you just sometimes download the show and don’t listen to it it’s better if you listen to it it actually

  1. Missed out on Drummond cuz the limit for centers is three and already have hartenstein, Sengun, and JV but it is what it is I like my squad still

  2. @Josh – Why is Ja Morant so low on BaskeballMonster Player Ratings (6th roundish) when he is absolutely BALLING since he's been back?

  3. Neverwould of thought that trading Ja,Porzing,and lively for Kat and Curry would actually make my team worst. Lol and there is no way to cancel trade kn yahoo

  4. Ivey has been top 100 the past week cause Monty’s favorite, Killian, has been out with an illness. Killian is probable for Thursday.

  5. In a 10team H2H, I got 7 Centers and need to cull 2 at least two them, Claxton, Lively, Hartenstein, Duren, Okongwu. Nobody trades in my league so I am leaning on cutting Lively and Hartenstein, what say you

  6. The big Cat Drummond was a great pick-up for me last night still gloating about this pickup. With Vook down for a week or so, I will ride the big cat…

  7. Also out of okongwu, nick Richards, and pat Williams in a 9 cat 12 team league who should I drop

  8. Pat will is the same magnitude of dud than than deandre hunter and harrison barnes, not sure why he gets such a push. no one i can think of does less with more consistent time.

  9. Cam Thomas is my worst player in a 8-team, 7-cat league – should I drop him for Jalen Johnson?
