  • Fantasy-less Fantasy BBall Pod

    Fantasys mentioned about every other episode. Hosts are definitely not playing much fantasy bball Saying you didnt know who was available in your draft probably isnt a good look. al horford isn’t a “good value” in Rd.8 in 2023. 11/7/2/1/1 is a must roster fantasy line for a 12 team league. Not according to Steve Alexander. Maybe he plays points leagues(the kids table of fantasy).

    Since it’s only a weekly pod, most of the season long advice like waiver pickup suggestions are too late to matter. ... more

Q: Who would you rather have?
I'd probably lean Gafford slightly, but it's pretty close.

Q: What are your thoughts on this one, Adam?
It's probably not a trade I would make if I had Wemby, but if you need production now, Wemby obviously is out for, well, we think two weeks, could be end up being three or four weeks.
