| 0:00.0 | Let's take a look at the fantasy basketball. Waiverwire, who's being added and who's being dropped? Are they the right moves? What are we looking at? Who's been hot? Who's being cold? 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. Let's get to it. Indeed. |
| 0:22.7 | You are Locked on Fantasy, your daily NBA Fantasy podcast, part of the Locked On |
| 0:28.9 | Podcast Network, your team every day. |
| 0:33.8 | Hello and welcome to the Locked on Fantasy Basketball podcast, brought you by Basketball Monster. |
| 0:39.1 | My name is Josh Lloyd and I am Aura Maxing, my Mucor. |
| 0:43.7 | I'm also the lead fantasy analyst at Basketballmonster.com, and thank you for making |
| 0:48.5 | Locked-on Fantasy Basketball your first listen every day. We are free. We're available on all |

| 1:00.4 | We are, of course, here, talking, ready to go with the waiver wire, looking at the guys |
| 1:06.0 | who were being added and dropped and discussing those correct or incorrect decisions. Before we do that, there was an announcement or a tweet, a report from Shams Sharana about Janus and a trade that he's looking to explore and wants a new home and it might happen at the deadline and it might happen in the off-season. And honestly, at this point, like, what do you do? Like, I don't know that there's anything that we can really do from a fantasy perspective here. Yanis is out in Milwaukee, and like we've said with Tray Young. |
| 1:32.3 | The situation where Janus is injured gives the role players in Milwaukee a way bigger bump than it does |
| 1:39.0 | if Janus has traded, because in a trade, players return. So yes, Bobby Portis at the moment, |
| 1:45.9 | huge must-ad player. |
| 1:51.3 | Kyle Kuzma has got value at the moment because both Janus and Kevin Porter are out, right? |
| 1:57.7 | But if Janus has traded, guys come in. Three players come in? I don't know. Will they take 10 minutes away? Will they take two minutes away? Possible. And we also don't know where that would be. And then we also don't know what impact Janus would have on what team he goes to and how that impacts all that stuff. So in terms of making a preparation for a trade, you're just doing it based on the injury of Milwaukee at the moment. Adding Portis, lower priority is Kuzma. That's it. What else can you do with it? I don't think there's anything else you can do with it, to be honest. Like, that's really all you do. The other bit of news that just dropped is Stephen Adams out for the season with ankle surgery. We'd assume that he was out for the season with the ankle sprain anyway, so it doesn't change any evaluations on any of those things. All right, now, let's talk way over while. |
| 2:35.9 | Let's talk about the most added players. |
| 2:38.5 | Over the last 48 hours, and the names here are particularly inspiring. |
| 2:43.1 | In fact, some of them are, they can be pretty angry. |
| 2:46.5 | I'll let you figure out which ones make me angry. |
| 2:50.1 | The number one most added player is Isaiah Collier in Utah, which is fine because Keonté George was out yesterday. They've got a, where, what is it, Tuesday, Wednesday, back to back. Long term, though, his upside is incredibly capped. He's an assist specialist who gives you like 10, 4 and 8, which is fine. The 8 is fine. Think |
| 3:07.6 | Davy on Mitchell. That's not a must roster player. It is in certain spots. But also, |
| 3:11.9 | you've got to deal with Walter Clayton and we just don't know if George is going to play or not. |
