  7. Josh’S Nick Richards take is gonna be as off as his Vuc and Hart take. Oso and Plumlee are nothing, NR will get 30 mpg, even could push for 34 – 36 mpg. He will be top 60 for the rest of the way. Look at Jarrett Allen’s numbers and tell me that NR cannot do that in 30 + mpg as the lone rebounder / shotblocker on that team

  10. The way you say ‘duel’, gives me Emperor Palpatine vibes, but I don’t really give a fuck how it sounds, as long as I get the point…

  11. Looking for help – If we have a weekly lock and do 2 week playoff matchups is your team set and locked for the 2 weeks or can you adjust between weeks 1&2?

  18. They offering me Kawhi for Zach Lavine on ESPN 10T pts league. Should I take him? I’m not even sure. I’m in second place on pace to be first again. I have a really solid team and Lavine is a sell high atm.

  19. I think with Scoot, while he is not guaranteed & not likely to start ROS, I do think he is guaranteed to start and play 30+ mins in silly season (whether that be March or Feb as well). This is simply a preview into what he may accomplish down the stretch, and in the low sample size so far so good. Definitely rooting for him and if you can stash him in your format it could be a great bet.

  27. My confession.. Amen was putting up between 7-15 fantasy points the first 2 weeks of the season so i dropped him. It now keeps me up at night.

  31. Josh don’t you think it’s disrespectful that the Heat organization has failed to bring in any sort of help for Jimmy in the last 5 years. An absolute failure. Where’s the accountability for them? The man has carried this team to two finals and 3 conference finals. They’ve not added a single star next to him even though so many star players have been available and willing to join the Heat.

  44. Just traded Jalen Green for Jimmy Butler in a 10 team head to head ESPN points league. Now I just hope the circus ends soon.

  45. Thank you Josh for mentioning our NBA almost-voted All Star legend, Polish Hammer, Marcin Gortat.
    Greetings from Poland, yeah we are watching you here to. Loving the show.

  50. Dropped Wemby and spent all my FAAB to upgrade my roster with the big Nick Pick-up. Wasn’t gonna drop a guard so the unproven center from SA was it
