Let's talk about a plucky underdog, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Michael Bolton.

Thanks Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the

Locked-on Fantasy Basketball podcast. Let's get to it.

Draft is going to start for a lot of the leagues tomorrow, or it might be today when you're listening to this. There are still some available that will go during the week, draft and stash. Best ball, which is points. Draft and stash is roto. Plus there's a regular points league in there as well. And there will be a new head-to-head category league dropping. There'll be auction leagues dropping next week as well at some point. You can enter all of them if you want. I believe high level of competition

in these leagues and I think you'll enjoy it. But if you want easy wins, go join Yahoo Public

Prize leagues and cook those guys. I understand that. It's pretty easy. But these will be higher

level leagues, I think. Check it out. It's link tree slash LofB bowl QRs on the screen.

The link is in the description down below. We're talking Alley Lakers, like I said.

This is a team which maybe they're going to make some sort of a deal at some point during

the season. I don't think you're going to have anything happening right before the year starts, but you know, we've always been wrong. We've

been wrong in the past on those sort of things about last minute trades or trades just before

Media Day. I don't think anything happens here with this squad. There was a lot of weirdness and

uneasiness throughout the pre-season, also throughout the off-season, actually,

with LeBron and options being picked up and thoughts of him being dealt.

I don't think anything like that is going to happen.

The name that's always sort of been whispered is Andrew Wiggins heading across to this team,

but, you know, I don't think that's going to be something that goes down.
