With the free agency period slowing, let's take a minute to reflect. For fantasy purposes, which acquisition was the best and which was the worst? Can Ware take a leap? What happens to LaMelo? What's to become of Reed Sheppard?
Currently trying to put some players who are coming back from injury in tiers for the upcoming season. Are Dame, Kyrie, Hali, FVV expected to play back to backs or will they most likely to be sitting one of the two?
Let me know if I'm missing any players.
Who is the biggest winner in fantasy with this trade? Pritchard? Any other Boston players? Consensus seems to be Philly players taking a slight hit but I think Maxey will be fine
Just in: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards for Jaden Hardy and two Wizards second-round picks in 2031 and 2032, sources tell ESPN.
To me the bottleneck of the 4 or 5 guards to go after DP is the most interesting part of the ‘26 draft. They are all vastly different, and in very different situations, and I can see an argument for each of them being better than the next. From a pure fantasy standpoint, who do you think will have the best productivity this year? What about five years from now?
To be sure, I’m thinking of:
- Acuff
- Brown Jr
- Flemings
- Wagler
- Burries
Acuff looks like the most ready-now guy and his situation could not be any better. But the defensive and rebounding shortcomings are always going to limit him (e.g. Brunson), even *if* he lives up to his potential.
On the flip side, someone like Wagler could end up being a fantasy superstar à la Josh Giddey due to his build and versatility, but there’s a real chance that he just doesn’t figure it out at the NBA level. And, like Giddey, I also think he would need the keys to the offense to really thrive, so playing next to Garland isn’t ideal.
The last one I want to make a mention of is Flemings because I haven’t seen much conversation around him. I wonder if a lot of the concerns around his finishing were because of Houston’s abysmal floor spacing. I expect him to do a lot better with NBA spacing and he has the athleticism to thrive in the open floor. There’s also the 2-way capability there.
What do you guys think?
Hi all,
I don't watch a lot of Hawks ball, so I'm looking for an informed response from some fans here. I know it was pretty evident that JJ was effected by McCollum immediately after the trade, but in looking at his stats, it seems like he somewhat got back to the point he was at early in the season but not quite. He hasn't hit those really high highs.
Is this the new normal for JJ or do you think it was a temporary adjustment period, and that he'll be back to his peak?
Fouls that result in one, two or three free throws under standard NBA rules will instead result in a single free throw attempt worth the same total number of points as the free throws it replaces.
I may look for some data to figure out the impact of this but at first glance it seems bad for high volume high percentage FT shooters. My guess is that over the course of an entire season it would be roughly similar, but in a given week there is a lot more room for variance due to lower volume across the board.
Curious what everyone thinks, especially after the blast of off-season moves in the last 2-3 days.
My choice would’ve been Carr but i’m less optimistic after all the roster additions in LA

I’m one of the people building Breakout, a new fantasy sports platform.
Our first release is the NBA Draftroom, launching mid Aug. The product isn’t live yet, so I’m mainly here to get feedback before we ship.
We’re focused on clarity, speed, control, and enjoyment.
The idea is to make drafting feel less scattered: dynamic punt-adjusted rankings, projections that update with your strategy, helpful post-draft reports, and an interface built for fun and focus.
What we’re building:
We’re starting with Draftroom because it’s the easiest way for people to try Breakout and get a feel for what we’re building. The full fantasy platform comes later; our Draftroom is the first step.
Our platform will be free to use. No paid contests, no betting/DFS.
I’d love any feedback around:
Happy to answer questions or share more. Come have some mock drafts with us in the coming months.

Well. Gg to everyone's fantasy value there lol
