In a vast ocean of tanking chaos, where most players stepping into bigger roles stink at 9-cat fantasy, a few players rise to the top. Yeah, we can't believe it's this guy, either!

These TEN players are flying off the waiver wire shelves like a deal at Costco! Are you adding them too?

James Harden says he's going to play through a hand fracture. Keegan Murray rolled that ankle again. Isaiah Joe bruised his butt. There weren't a ton of games, but once again injuries rule the day in the NBA.

TANKING IS NUTS! But we can solve it. Maybe. @Adamking91 & this guy run this crossover MEGA episode covering the 6 most "tankingest" squads, going player by player for adds, drops, a near hits or misses.

The injury board is also a tank board. It was a suspension board for a bit, too. Most importantly, it's a board jammed with great adds for the medium term!

Nurkic is out for the year, but I'm too mad about how the Grizzlies are tanking to care about much else. Stop giving everyone 24 minutes NOW!

As I continue to eagerly await the start of the #WNBA season and #FantasyBasketball, Iβve turned back the clock and started collecting again. I had never owned a graded card until today. No βchaseβ by any means, but gotta have some Paige in my PC (as they say). @oldmansquad.bsky.social

ππ WRAP ππ
Go back and like something. But make sure to follow.
And for the love of somethin', bookmark our deadline show!!
Also, did the FULL storm again tonight. Happy? Sad? Don't curr?
Anyway, here's the deadline link -
youtube.com/live/ldtMbcI...
ππππ
π Brandin Podziemski put up a nice line tonight and is probably worth a speculative scoop too if you have roster space
π Moody would be my 3rd choice but only because he needs a lot of 3's and steals to hit value
#Warriors
π NOT MY JIMMY. I am genuinely concerned he's done for the year but maybe we'll get lucky and it'll just be until March?
π De'Anthony Melton is someone I've stashed in most places just for his ability but kinda feels like anyone should be grabbing him soon
#Heat
π Bam had just 3 points in 26 bad mins. BUY LOW!
π Davion Mitchell back after 2 games and picked up with his punt-style model
π Tyler Herro has a rib cartilage thing goin' on and that means it's Jaquez time yet again
#Pistons
π Tobias Harris looks refreshed but don't be fooled. He's a top-120 dude this year unless something dramatic happens
#Celtics
π Sam Hauser has had a few good ones in a row. Is it time to just pick him up for his 2 weeks of fame before it shifts over to whoever is next in the "MY TURN AT PF" list? I guess I'm okay with that
#Nets
π Legitimately nothing to discuss
#Suns
π Jalen Green makes his return NEXT game, we're told, so a lot to watch at that point. Tonight, all juicy lines, really
#Sixers
π Kelly Oubre, possible PG burger name. Only notable because I wondered if he'd be good enough if Embiid was still out there sucking up usage and yes, indeed, Kelly was solid
#Pacers
π Close your eyes, play Jay Huff everywhere, and feel good about it after every 10 games.
π Aaron Nesmith is officially just a punt-FG guy. This is nuts
#Spurs
π Other than Champagnie having a bit of a slow game, everything went exactly as we've been discussing on here and on pods. No changes.
#Jazz
π A wild Nurk was spotted. Just a matter of time before he retreats into his cave, though
π Filipowski still did alright and I'm beginning to soften my anti-Kyle stance and push more toward stashable
#Knicks
π Brunson back, so Deuce can be dumped in most spots
π Klay is a 3's play
π Cooper Flagg was back! Neat.
π Naji Marshall continues to be a must-play guy with PJ/AD out
#Mavericks
π Moussa Cisse had a great line in 20 mins. I think I'd rather just wait on Gafford to pop back up over taking a shot on Cisse or Powell
π Christie shot the ball well and he's a solid H2H stream that probably just misses the game cap cutoff
#Wizards
π Middleton back so Champagnie returned to the bench though I do think Justin should be stashed to the deadline at this point
π Bub and Tre had better games but some 9-cat holes push them more toward streamer zone
#Clippers
π Kawhi Leonard is out a few games
π Jordan Miller didn't get the start (Kobe Sanders did) but he's on a heater. I'm okay with streaming Miller but I'm not using against a game cap
#Cavaliers
π Jaylon Tyson should be rostered with Garland out a week+
π I'm also somewhat interested in Sam Merrill if he can ever get healthy
#Thunder
π Jalen Williams is out, then Jaylin Williams and Caruso went down too. Hartenstein also still out.
π Ajay Mitchell is probably playable in most formats
π Aaron Wiggins doesn't usually get 6 defensive stats so he's more of a streamer type for me
#Hawks
π You can continue to hold McCollum while everything sorts out but I do still think he may ultimately end up a drop outside of punt builds. Not really connected to this game in particular, though
