The video on you let that play and you can look at the graphics and all sort of stuff you don’t actually have to listen to it twice you can you don’t have to it’s more about just letting the stuff play through to you know boost the visibility of the show and speaking of

Shows that need visibility Thursday February 8th trade deadline show live 1 p.m. Eastern maybe earlier depends on how early I get up and depends on what’s going on on that day get over there pre- bang pre-lock I want a th in there I want a th000 pre- bangs can you go and

Like that it would be great you’ll see up the top here as I do the YouTube thing which corner is it this corner yeah beep right there hit that button and that’ll take you straight to that show we’re doing injury report today all 30 teams remembering that teams do not

Give specific timelines all the time so I am here to try and project and to all of the um uh losers and haters out there who say well Josh you’re not even a doctor why do you even need to project on someone’s injury like why don’t you just tell us that they’re injured

Because that doesn’t work in fantasy you the people who complain oh how can you how can you say that this might be a time frame from an injury when you don’t even know you’re not even a doctor just wait all you got to say is the guy’s injured that okay that’s cool

Then we’ll wait 4 days for something to happen and we can’t adjust for Fantasy my job my job is projection projected stats projected lineups projected minutes projected rotations and I’m not projecting injuries but I’m projecting time frames of injuries when they occur based on numerous issues my extensive Healthcare

And medical background my extensive background of doing this job plenty of databases that exist for this sort of stuff and that is where we try and get this information from I cannot be exact with it because a teams don’t even know teams get the wrong timelines all the

Time and they don’t even tell us when they put it out there so we try and give the best information that we can based on what information we know at the time and as that adjusts we do it because in most leagues you can’t wait 4 days 5

Days for a semi-official timeline to be put out um or you can’t wait for information that get gets chucked out that’s incomplete and then you wait for another official team release to explain what that initial release well you got I’ve got to come in here and my job is

To interpret it and to project it and give ideas of what that might mean so if you got a problem with that stiff [ __ ] all right and I know it’s probably like two people it’s not there’s definitely a few people who love you don’t even [ __ ] talk to about

You anyway I work up spicy let’s talk um Atlanta Hawks let’s talk injuries Deonte Murray missed the last game with a hamstring issue now you know my thoughts on hamstrings that normally it should be two to three weeks I did not see this man injur his hamstring I’m going to

Suggest he didn’t injure his hamstring in the traditional sense of having a hamstring strain in game I’m going to say there was a little bit of soreness I am listing him questionable still is it a fake injury because there’s a trade coming and he’s causing a million

Disruptions in the locker room some of that is true I don’t know which well I do which part of it I don’t know the part whether it’s a fake injury for a trade but with him out we saw Bogdan bogdanovich um step into a larger role

And put up good numbers and I will still maintain that Deonte Murray is my most likely player to be traded at this trade deadline followed by D’Angelo Russell although with the way that Russell’s playing maybe he doesn’t move I still think he will but I uh I I think deont

Is pretty clearly going to go DeAndre Hunter I I don’t know like we had a non-surgical procedure on his knee which apparently is going to take longer than Evan M surgical procedure on his knee not quite but we’re getting there he is just not a good fantasy player in

General DeAndre Hunter and they might tear it down and trade away a million guys and I think I would need three starters to be gone on the Hawks before I get super excited about adding DeAndre Hunter his absence just allows sadique Bay to put more minutes up and be useful

Um sadik Bay also shout out to one of the most overrated players in the NBA Muhammad gay dealing with a back issue we’re looking at around the 10th of February to him for him Bruno Fernando with a back problem he missed the last game he’s probably questionable in v c

With a shoulder injury these are guys that can you believe that Bruno Fernando and Vic crer on this roster this roster despite you hiring Quinn ster and having the top end talent and the breakout like Jaylen Johnson the back half of their roster is disgusting it’s so bad yet

There’s a player that they picked 15th who’s played four minutes all season they won’t give him a single minute because why would they because he just loves the g-league he’s a big G League guy aspired to play in the G League Kobe buffkin he will never play because you

Know why would you when you’ve got Patty Mills and Vic CR and the Matthews and Seth Lundy and all those guys you would never want to get that guy out there for the Boston Celtics their injury report is really just for today and tomorrow it’s Monday Tuesday

We’ve got Pingas and Al Horford with his neck strain last season it was back-to-back spasms now he’s dealing with a my neck my back sort of problem um they’re both questionable porzingis and Horford for Monday they will sit one of those two games I guarantee you that

Which one I don’t know the Luke cornette one is interesting CU he pinged his hamstring last game he left the game didn’t return they’ve listed him doubtful for Monday again that should be two weeks but I don’t don’t know so at the moment he is officially doubtful I’m

Going to come out and tell you that cornet’s not going to play this week would be my guess he probably won’t play the back toback would almost definitely won’t and we’ll see how they mismanage this hamstring injury just added to the Litany of mismanaged hamstring injuries

So not even a doctor the Brooklyn Nets Daran finy Smith is out with an ankle problem um we’ve got his return maybe next game there hasn’t been really any update onto the level of sprain or how serious that is going to be you’ll notice that there is one man who is not

On this injury report and that’s because Ben Simmons is back today you can absolutely grab Ben Simmons no problem with adding him I really don’t have any long-term faith in him I think he’s minutes are going to be limited straight away it’s always with these sort of

Risky propositions the higher up you are in the standings the more leeway you have to deal with um ins and outs and sitting back Tob backs and limited minutes and overall limited production if you are scaming for the playoffs wasting a roster spot and wasting an ad

On someone who might take 3 weeks to even get back to full speed if he gets there without getting injured again which is has got to be the problem with his back considering how long this has been an issue yeah that’s really tough to stomach so again individual

Circumstances come down to what you do with Simmons here and his back problem but he is returning and we are going to have all eyes on Brooklyn until we don’t dayon sharp with a knee problem maybe the end of this week we haven’t really had any updates on him apart from the

Initial situation was it’s like oh maybe he joins us on the trip to France remember that oh no actually no they did update us after that said it was going to be two weeks but we haven’t had the two weeks is done we haven’t heard anything on Sharp since then and what

The hell they do with Claxton with sharp and with Ben Simmons cuz Sharp’s minutes were pushing up he was playing 171 18 a night but can he do that when Simmons is there I don’t know I don’t know be very interesting DK Whitehead really bad season for the pimple he had the two

Foot surgeries in college and now he has a stress reaction in his leg he had sergy on that leg he’s done for the season that is a one of the biased lows that’s one of the worst phrases I’ve ever said in my life one of the lowest

Buyers in Dynasty ever I think he’s got tremendous upside the problem is he maybe had a 20% 15% chance of hitting that upside in the past now I’d say he’s got like a 2% chance of hitting it it’s still huge a six with six Wing who can

Score shoot rebound defend and pass is an unbelievable player that is legitimately in your best 99% outcome here as a top 20 fantasy player and he’s a multi-time Allstar best case scenario the chances of it happening are not there but there are certain players that

You look at in Dynasty or even in the draft that have no shot of getting to that number like Ben Shepard for example sorry to Benny but he’s got no hope of being that level of player this is none Whitehead does and the injuries are uh uh what you would call [ __ ] full

So let’s bang it out lamelo ball is listed questionable after sitting the second half of a back-to-back for Charlotte this is my read on Charlotte they do this because they are liars he will play I feel really confident about that they did that last time he should

Be listed probable he should be in he will play I am very confident about this with that ankle sess I’m also very confident that he will sit the next back toback and I’m very confident that he’ll be listed questionable after the next back toback as well but we’ll find out

Out won’t we how wrong I am or how right I am Mark Williams his back issue I could not tell you so I’ve made up a date I said after the um Allstar break there which is the 23rd of February whether that back responds at all I

Would say there is more likelihood of Williams missing the entirety of the Season than there is of him returning before the allstar break but because this is the most pitiful franchise in the NBA they won’t tell us that same as Gordon Haywood with his C when did he

Get injured like December yes a cal injur is usually a two to three week there so many caral injuries in the NBA at the moment um but we’ve got no update on him he’s old he’s uh prone to soft tissue injuries he’s a slow healer we’re

Looking at the 4th of February as a completely madeup time frame you have not needed to hold on to Gordon Haywood this whole time his return does impact perhaps the value of others but look does he even play another game for Charlotte I’ve got no idea the

Interesting one here is Kyle Larry and I say interesting because it’s not at all interesting but it’s marginally interesting to me if who’s someone who deals with the behind the scen minutia of NBA injury reporting is that Mitch cuback came out and said Kyle was not

Going to play for us until at least after the trade deadlines we trying to figure out what’s going on but then yesterday on the injury report he wasn’t listed so I’m not really sure if that means anything I don’t think it does cuz what would they say like out not with

Team out personal but what if he like does like a like a Hulk Hogan runs in rips off the shirt and there he is slides into the starting five I I really I mean I don’t think it’s going to happen but he’s not listed so I don’t

Know what it means and then Frank Nina who for some reason’s on this team he’s questionable with the hip injury your Chicago Bulls Zach LaVine the skater boy with an ankled problem I’ve got him and Pat Williams missing the rest of this week I think that Zach may not be

Playing until after the deadline I also don’t know that if he gets to the Pistons I I swear to God um so he might not play for the Bulls again Williams is in a walking boot missed a 82 game Legend last season obviously made of uh adamantium vibranium can’t be injured

That’s what happens when you play 82 games the year before you are never get injured ever again and that’s how injuri is work so he’s now missing another game he’ll miss the rest of this week with his foot in a walking boot and we obviously can uh Jack him get that

Gabbage out of here deep leagues Julian Phillips replacement shallow leagues OD dumu Tory Craig’s out until around the All-Star break with his planta fascia issue as well in Cleveland Evan Moy is officially listed questionable for today but it does look like he’s going to return as for Darius Garland his 4-we

Time frame passed 3 weeks ago and people call him I hate this I hate calling an athlete soft people will criticize me for my takes on injuries again completely unfounded like some dickade yeser say say oh man you’re just wishing Ben Simmons gets injured you’re such a

Clown no I’m actually with the person who defends athlete injuries probably more than anybody to the detriment of me with the other people attacking me based on that but like to call Garin soft because Mo returned like what do you think gin’s doing do you think he’s just

Like ah I’m I’m good man I’ll just I’m just going to sit around oh why didn’t he work out this is what he the man couldn’t eat for 4 weeks his jaw was wired shut he had to drink liquids through a straw so I’m going to guess

That he lost a significant amount of weight and muscle mass during that time cuz he wouldn’t have had the requisite amount of protein and energy and bulk to be able to do what he needed to do yeah it’s frustrating we’re not getting a proper update on Garland and that he’s

Not back in 4 weeks and that’s why usually I’m always going to take whatever the time frame is and push further out but doesn’t mean is soft because Moy came back right at the very end the early part of a time frame and Garland stepped it up because you know having

Your jaw wide shot for weeks it’s not a good thing is it I think he’s going be would be able to get out there and play and obviously there’s something that hasn’t healed probably obviously TI Jerome milk we got an update on him ankle surgery I reckon

He’s done I reckon that season over for him would have been nice to have heard about this significant ankle problem after he you missed I think game two of the season and then we’ve heard nothing ever since and Tristan Thompson is suspended until uh he’s eligible to

Return on the 6th of March and D Jones is in that backup roll for the Dallas Mavericks Kyrie Irving will not miss a game with his thumb injury and now he is slated to miss his fourth I believe and he’ll be out for over a week with an

Injury that was costing him zero games because players lie I don’t care what a single player says ever about an injury I don’t care I just don’t care and I’ll always report what they say but I don’t care I don’t don’t care if they’re telling me they’re looking great and

They’re coming back early I don’t care if they tell me it’s fine I could have come back in I don’t care if they’re not missing any times they either are liars or they overe extend their belief in their own bodies which they rightfully should because they are finally tuned

Performance machines they should have that level of confidence but they are wrong every time basically so Kyrie with his thumb issue that’s costing him zero games is going to miss another one he might miss one more after that I don’t know and then Dereck Jones with a wrist

Do exom with his knee and Dwight pal with his all questionable obviously with Irving if Irving is or Irving being out means that Jones and exom would get a boost but I’m I’m much more interested in Hardway and then it’s a green Jones exom um manag tuz ter in terms of who

Gets those minutes and with Dwight pal out it’s more for mxy cber and more for our man uh Derek Lively Denver is got a good injury report unless you’re Julian Strather he remains out probably a couple more games maybe end of this week but is there even a guarantee is in the

Rotation not really and the Detroit Pistons we don’t have an update on this now Kade Cunningham obviously there was the back-to-back nonsense from him on the weekend I don’t need to talk about that any further I expected he’s back but then next game isn’t into Wednesday

So it’s a huge gap and that’s why I’m only listing elf Stewart as questionable because Stewart heard his ankle on Sunday and normally if they had a game Monday or Tuesday say well he’s not going to play like he’s going to be out but that is like a three-day break

Before Stewart’s able to return so there is a possibility that he returns now I don’t know that he does that’s his third lower body like foot slash ankle toe injury this season already which is obviously not great they’re going nowhere very clearly and he [ __ ] out obviously very clearly so that would

Mean that they would laughably play Kevin Knox in that role even though they should play Assad Thompson and I don’t think you need to add Assad I would I’m at this point with Assad Thompson as much as I like him as a player that I need to see Monty Williams play him 28

Minutes before I believe that Monty Williams will play him 28 minutes CU there have been multiple opportunities for assar Thompson to regularly get 28 minutes and it has not happened so I need to see it even though the path might seem clear Stewart out Thompson in it’ll be KNX

It’ll be bloody galinari or someone who steps in there because Monty Williams doesn’t have the creativity to be able to run a proper offensive scheme with assar Thompson in there if only I could be paid $74 million to do nothing like he does the Golden State Warriors there was a report

About Chris Paul and I just want to give a thought on it it was brought up by someone on b monster and the report was they talk about Chris PA’s hand injury and the Chris said yeah the surgery went way longer than we expected he had to

Have a plate put in with screws and he’s rejoined the team this week and be reevaluate in a week and there were people that Mis not misinterpreted because I don’t know exactly but they interpreted that to think that when Chris Paul said the surgery went long that me oh there was complications and

His recovery is going to be longer and that is not what I interpreted from that at all what I interpreted was that the surgery just took longer than they expected and there’s no actual adjustment to a return date he is still set to join the team at the like four

Week Mark which is you four to 5 weeks is a hand standard sort of hand surgery time frame broken hand time frame um and then he’ll be reevaluated so nothing in there where they said the surgery went a little went longer than expected and the plate was put in that to me doesn’t

Change really anything in terms of his return we’re looking at around the 12th of febru Cu I do think that winie comes back reevaluated might be another week or two after that which is cool um and I don’t even know if he needs to be rosted

To be honest I think we do but we’ll see when he gets back Gaz pton deal with a grade two hamstring probably around the 8th of February but like he’s going to play so little it doesn’t matter and then Moses Moody’s been out for about 3

Weeks with a cal injury they’ve given us no update on that just yet so I’m listing him questionable for their next game but that does not guarantee that he plays T next season dealing with a leg injury I don’t think there’s some of you will still be holding him I don’t know

Why but there is no reason to be holding tar een not only is he dealing with his leg stress fracture issue which is a problem in the preseason by the way I think t e played 79 games last season yeah durability Legend he had this problem in the preseason he’s missed so

Many games he’s had a few little moments here but also the thing that’s happened now is that cam Whitmore has started to establish himself and not to say that Whitmore is going to play over e but it’s just another player in there to sort of battle for those minutes and een

With a recurring leg problem he’s not going to come in and go right 27 let’s go so I don’t think that even the upside foron as much as we like him as a player is necessarily going to develop when he comes back even if he came back it wouldn’t develop immediately it would

Take a little bit of time after that so I just don’t really see the purpose unfortunately for old mate uh tar to be held on to at this stage in the in the game today’s episode is brought to you by better help January is almost over so there’s

Injury mismanagements have Tyrese halberton questionable to return on Tuesday after that totally planned four game absence after return from a hamstring injury and played 35 minutes in the first game back that’s common sense that’s that’s what you would do in that scenario so he maybe is able to

Return T.J McConnell missed the last game with personal reasons and Miles Turner with back issues obviously if Turner’s out we just go with sticks um but if Hal Burton’s out any value of McConnell is completely cooked and nad’s value drops now I could see nard cutting into buddy heels minutes as a starter

But I don’t care he needs the volume the assist volume the scoring volume that halton’s absence uh would afford to him to be a 12 team League guy so if you have NAD Shaw that’s cool whatever I just don’t think it’s going to last the Clippers if it’s a zubats we’ve got to

Return around the end of February for him and at the moment it’s just a complete mess and nobody wins some days it’s Ty some days it’s plumbley some days it’s Westbrook and in the end I don’t think you care honestly and this is honestly the best option there is

Westbrook and that’s pretty disgusting to say but that doesn’t fit every team it fits some fantasy teams but he’s the guy that can generate the most value in the lowest minutes and still has that ability to push to 27 on certain nights he won’t when Zubat is back and I he’s

Definitely not a must but that’s the scenario and then Madia bet with a hand injury out until the 10th of February and I’m pretty sure nobody cares about that I refused to list Anthony Davis and LeBron James on the injury report but in saying that I refused to list them I’ve

Actually just fallen into the Trap of big injury and told you that they’re questionable yet again for the 75th time this season let’s talk about the real injuries Gabe Vincent with a knee injury and cam reddish with an ankle injury maybe both for the All-Star break that

They return there I would guess that both of those guys aren’t in the rotation it will be one of them taking the final slot and I would guess it’s Vincent who has been an absolute disaster as a free agent signing through no fault of his own this I think is the

First time for the season I could have used two pages on an injury report I’m choosing not to because what I I don’t I I’m not because so many of them are just injuries of the long term but the Grizzlies have put out one of the most embarrassing injury reports ever today

And this is why I think that all the stuff about Desmond Bane and him pushing to come back is [ __ ] cuz they are clearly clearly manipulating injuries they are clearly um taking things very very cautious and rushing back your $200 million semi franchise player on a

Injury that might be a 12we injury in under six weeks would be one of the dumbest things I’ve seen a franchise ever do that’s why I don’t think it will happen I’m listing Bane as maybe returning the third sorry the 1st of March same with Marcus Smart I honestly

Think it’s more likely they don’t play than they returned before that but we will find out theyve listed Vince Williams today is questionable Luke canard’s out for the second consecutive game I thought for sure he would play I thought they wring winner back toback

But no his knee saus is just too much um they’ve also got John kcha as doubtful people don’t like my Lil John impression so I’m putting it in the bin for the moment Z Williams is doubtful Brandon Clark is out John rant is out Steven Adams is out Derick Rose is out Jake

Lavier is out so they have got 1 two three 4 five 6 seven eight active players today if Vince Williams plays and by the way you have to have eight active players so Vince might just not play and they have seven guys getting all the minutes so huge for Alama who

Might actually leave halfway through because of n oners Tilman has to play Scott Pippen has to play David Rod unbeliev they might lose by 70 because David Ry has to play 30 minutes there’s just so much nonsense going on like I don’t know what happens with that their

Next game is a Thursday Friday back to back for Canard I’m going to guess he doesn’t play both of those that makes him really hard to hold we’re still holding Vinz Williams obviously but I feel like it’s almost going to be a game by game scenario here for the Grizzlies

As to who’s going to have value because like ankle spraying for Kona cool that didn’t happen canard’s kneee like sure but he’s played like one game out of the last four now what do we do with it it’s impossible impossible this one’s good though and I never thought I would see

The day that there are no injuries on the Miami Heat none it’s good for them something’s going to crop up I’m sure and what we really just want to watch there is how the interplay goes between High Smith Martin and huers for that last role the Milwaukee Bucks also no injuries I’m not

Listing yanus is probable with an illness although again I just told you about it but it’s not official it’s not real don’t worry about it we’re good um the Minnesota Timberwolves Mike Conley and his uh rest SL illness SL hamstring he has also played one game out of his

Last four and he missed on Saturday with the hamstring and now he’s questionable for Monday that is absolutely terrifying because they are going they are a first round exit if my Conley is hurt if he is out it is Alexander Walker who is the stream and then the other one they’ve

Got is Jaylen Clark who is probably start of March with an Achilles tear and he will play Zero games this season for the team the Pelicans again imagine seeing an injury report and go well the two teams who don’t have injuries are the uh New Orleans Pelicans the Miami

Heat well that’s where we’re at for now the Knicks we went a while to get to this one and it is Julius Randall I was hoping we’d get a little bit more information um about his injury and we got a little bit on it from W and chams

And again the the original um the original injury was a dislocated shoulder and my initial thing was this could be a season Ender but it could also just be a week or two weeks minimum and W was like the X-ray shows nothing of course that’s great we don’t want it

To show anything but it doesn’t tell us anything about the injury we still don’t have it offici diagnosis but W just tweeting out that the injury is going to be measured in weeks and not months so to me that’s three three weeks 3 to four

Weeks right because you go to if you go to eight weeks it’s two months if it’s six weeks you’d still call it weeks so I guess let’s say between 3 to six weeks is my guess here for Randall’s injury the very clear ad is Josh the Hitman

Hart the secondary guys are going to be or div Hart and div chenzo just must rooster everywhere right and then I think the next bunch is going to be Quenton Grimes who can take more shots but they just have nobody big there’s no forwards so maybe it is precious aure

Who plays at power forward but oh my God they will lose so many games if he plays 30 minutes a night so we’ll see what happens there but Hart D vinchenzo your clear ads Grimes AA the level below I’ve got we’ve got him out until the 10th of

March here Randall which is around that like four or five week Zone um and we’ll adjust it when we hear more because they’re being pretty like um what’s the right word they’re pretty uh hidden I guess with the results Mitchy Robinson may be back in April and Nan forier is

Out today for personal reasons do you reckon he gets traded reckon he might the Thunder has his team had a single injury all season I mean they’ve had a couple of little ones but every time I do the injury report I feel like there there’s no one there for them and even

The magic uh who had so many guys about two weeks ago there’s one guy it’s Gaz Harris with guess what a calf for an old bastard who’s dealing with soft tissue injuries their whole career shout out to Gordon Haywood Harris is still out uh maybe he’s back this week I don’t know

But when he comes back I don’t think he’s going to play a huge amount considering how healthy they are at the moment the Sixers a pretty busy injur report Joel embiid is out today now they had a Monday Tuesday back to back and we know he hurt his knee last Thursday and

Then he ducked Nicola yic um again my problem with that situation with the the nuggets and embiid and yic was not that he missed the game because it was very very obvious to me that there was a huge chance he was going to miss when he hurt

His knee twice on the Thursday before my problem is why didn’t those [ __ ] list him as injured that’s the problem that was very clear I’ll list him as questionable I list I again I have to try and project injury reports sometimes on Bas monster go well I’m just going to

Put him questionable right it makes sense to put him questionable because he heard his I saw him do it and then they don’t list him you go well okay well this doesn’t make any sense like Paul georan is groin right not injured H sure really and then questionable the next

Day so that’s the problem I think stems from that and like that is where I have a real problem with side note I’m I’m just fired up about the way the teams obfuscate and put unnecessary harm onto the players oh they’re big boys that’s what the money’s for yeah sure but I

Don’t care how much money you make I do cuz like it’d be great to have that money but hearing that [ __ ] all the time like our mental health only has so much strength and again I’m not like being out here sing for guys with money I also

Don’t hate players who have money good for them they deserve the money but the problem so many problems could be solved so easily or we have to do is like Joan be heard his KN on Thursday we literally saw him do it he’s doubtful to play

Saturday it’s so easy it’s so obvious or he’s questionable we’ll see how he warms up which is exactly what they did they just didn’t put him on the injury report so everyone he wasn’t on the inport he’s just faking it it it is so frustrating that this problem could be mitigated so

Easily [ __ ] anyway Tyrese Maxi ankle questionable Toby Harris illness who’s missed two in a row questionable we don’t have updates on those guys yet DeAnthony Melton probably the end of the week with his back injury he has not been worth holding I don’t think always

When I say that if you’ve got open I slots you hold them the question then becomes do I need it for somebody else and someone mentioned this about Evan Moy how I again side note I think you enjoy sometimes the story sometimes you don’t get on with it you bloody aussy

[ __ ] um about evmo I was in my my Yahoo League I showed you the results of it yesterday and how we’ve been going and I had evmo on that team and I was an auction league and I drafted him and I saw the 6 to8 time time frame I said

That’s probably 8 to9 um I had like five injuries on that Squad my ILS were all fill up and I was 10th out of 14 teams in that League I like I am I am cooked right I am in real Strife I need to drop Evan Mobley this is two two months out

Maybe more and he’ll be back maybe at the start of my playoffs and he’ll sit back Tob backs and be limited minutes and I I am done so I dropped him and now that looks completely stupid because Evan mob is back well before fantasy playoffs but

I’m now third in that League because I made that move cuz I needed to open up roster spots to get guys back in to my team to get players through use those spots and I have and I’ve just beaten everybody basically since then I’ve just won almost every matchup because I had

To make that move and if I hadn’t have made that move maybe I’m sitting seventh and I’m not competing for the playoffs and then if he returns to my playoffs playoffs then what’s the point I’m not in them anyway so yeah as a complete vacuum move dropping Evan Moy was

Completely idiotic for me I misread it and I made a mistake but also the situation I was in is I had to do it because I needed the space and I could not have competed and put myself into this position if I had to held on to him

And that’s where we talk about individual circumstances being so key Rob cing knee problem again I uh I think he’s I think he’s in real trouble with this guy he barely played last season the injuries this season he’s just not the same guy I think he might be in real

Strife and then Ken Lofton snack R off is out today for personal reasons embiid is out today by the way um so yeah if You’ got Paul Reed uh enjoy the Phoenix Suns we don’t have the update yet on Yousef nurkic who has the thumb issue he missed yesterday’s game obviously we

Know that with him out can go with um adrew Eubanks in that spot bald B the foot just continues to be hurt now maybe the end of this week but no we’re not worry about that too much and Damen Lee hasn’t played this season maybe he’s back in April for the Blazers Shaden

Sharp with a groin problem we’ve got him returning probably towards the middle of next week around the deadline may end of next week I yeah I don’t know I think he’s probably worth having because I think things are going to clear out for him but also remember that when they

Shut down guys last season he was one of them like they didn’t say you play through it he played like two or three games they they did it like a staggered shutdown and they gave him like two or three games or four games of being the guy then said move over it’s justtin

Mana time and so he’s not immune from sitting down same Simons isn’t immune from sitting down same scoot’s not going to be immune from sitting down Moses Brown is out until middle of March and now malcol Brogden shockingly on the back toback has popped up with a knee contusion

H yeah yeah why would you play 38 minute year old busted ass Malcolm Brogden on a back toback well because you’re dumb the Sacramento Kings Sasha venkov this team continues to really avoid a lot of injuries they haven’t been as clean as they were last season but Sasha is on

The injury report as questionable Zack Collins’s ankle did they bring him back too early who’s to say me he played three games after returning ahead of schedule ahead of reevaluation time from his ankle injury now he’s uh missed the last game with ankle saus and he’s on

The injury report again for ankle saus we do not need to roster Zack Collins someone asked me man do I burn my third wave of priority for Zack Collins in the 12 te leag like no you just let him sit there we don’t need him at all at all

Raptors Ron Barrett missed the last game with nissus Emanuel quickley missed two with the quad and yakob Perles Miss like a month with an ankle sprain no information on that at all I think they all could return in their next game but I don’t know and obviously with all

Those guys out that gives that significant boost to guys like um Jordan War who went bananas last game Bruce Brown who played 37 minutes Dennis schroer was a 12 team League guy but if they all play Then those guys don’t matter to to any real extent especially

Like war or or Sha but some uncertainty around those guys and then Pur return would impact young and Porter then Marcus Noel pcking his hammy in the g-league and he’s out for a couple of weeks the Jazz no injuries good they’ve been pretty clean all season as well

Apart from an early season injury to Larry marinan and the Wizards are clean apart from Isaiah Li Liv who’s dealing with a hip injury and I don’t even know that he’s going to be a part of the rotation when he is healthy so somehow despite taking forever to start this
