Let's look at the fantasy basketball waiver wire, the ads that drops the Michael Bolton impressions.

Hello and welcome to the Locked On Fantasy Basketball podcast, brought to you by Basketball Monster.

0:37.3

that's what we're at that's where we're at that is where we are at hit the thumb of the video

1:01.9

double bang it leave your comments down below i hope you guys who have celebrated new year's eve

1:07.3

have been safe i hope you guys who are about to celebrate new year's Eve have been safe. Remember here, we are anti-big calendar. It's Thursday. It's Thursday. That's it.

1:18.8

Big calendar. You don't rule my life anymore. New Leaf. But not because of the year,

1:23.5

because we don't care about that. We move forward. What are we talking about? Well, that's a really good question, actually. But what we are actually going on about in this show is Waverwire. We're talking about who's been added? Who's been dropped? What are the moves that make more sense and why these moves make sense? The most added players is a relatively straightforward list, I think. Number one on this list is the big fella, Jonas Valenthunus. This one is relatively straightforward. Nicola Yokic is out. Valentunus will probably start. We're going to get a good indication of, or some indication, at least, of what happens with that today because the Nuggets are playing. So the third name on that list is Spencer Jones. So we'll see what happens then. Now, Jones's a minute's it's not really going to change significantly because he's already playing 34 minutes, 3 5 minutes. Maybe he plays 39. I don't know, but he was already in a big role. We'll see what happens usage-wise and what it does to efficiency. The big one is going to be Valentunus going from 13 minutes to 26, 28, 31, I don't know. Adding him, Valentunus, is the correct move.

2:18.8

And then in Chicago, we did get updates from them about Josh Giddy.

2:22.3

They said at least two weeks or two weeks for re-evaluation.

2:25.1

Kobe White for tightness.

2:26.5

Yeah, yeah, tightness.

2:28.1

Sure, absolutely, absolutely true.

2:30.3

We're re-evaluating tightness in one week.

2:32.6

Not his third calf strain of the season because

2:34.3

we're trying to trade him. Absolutely only tightness. Do not panic. And the audio sound for

2:40.9

winking is wink. It's a calf strain. I don't know why they're lying about it. I got no idea.

2:47.3

But they said Kobe White, one week, Josh, giddy, two weeks. Let's make a giddy three white two to three, is my guess. So the other two most added names are Iodosumu and Stix, Jalen Smith. Last game, they started Smith, who also has Zach Collins out for 10 days. They started Smith in the second half for Power Ford. I've got no idea, but we'll find out this today. But I think that adding Trey Jones is your priority. The reason he's not on the most added list on basketball monster is his roster percentage was already too high. But we're talking about Trey Jones, D'Suma, Herta, and Smith. Smith has the best permanent upside of all of that group. So if he was to get 28 minutes, he's easily the best group of that ad, the best out of that group. And then DeSumu and Herder, it's a little
