Hello, everybody, and welcome to Fantasy NBA today, a sports ethos presentation brought to by our

great partners at Fanduel. My name is Aaron Bruske, and with me is the great Steve, Dr. A. Alexander.

Today we're going to get you guys caught up after the short slate on Thursday and get you guys

ready for a big nine game Friday night. As usual, we will start with our commentary about

our guys. We have top six must add players from last night. We'll enter the drop zone, do some drop

talk, and then we'll get into tonight slate with our top two streamers, but I believe we each have

five and I believe we each have four must add players. And I believe I might get shot by my producer by the end of the show. We don't know if that's going to happen or not. And then we will wrap up with a segment that is going to combine some hold or drop and adder pass. Newswise, DeMontes to Bonas, a partially torn meniscus in his left knee. It's going to be re-evalued in three to four weeks.

We'll cover that here in a bit, but let me get through the rest of the news.

We have Lamello Ball and the Hornets are fighting.

I don't know.

But apparently, Lamello Ball has reportedly grown frustrated with the organization,

and he's open to a trade per Kelly Eco

and then he responded to that tweet with a clown emoji signifying where we are at as a

society in 2025. Darius Garland expected to return to action today per shams. Doc, how did all

that news sit with you? How are you doing over there sir i am okay i'm

doing okay uh yeah the lamello stuff i mean if he's sick of the hornets how sick are the hornets

of lamello ball like i don't i don't see this ending well.

He wants to be traded, trade him, you know.

He's a part-time player.

The Hornets have always just been bad.

And send him somewhere he wants to go.

I mean, I don't know, man.
