Jaw: dropped. Mark Williams fails his physical with "multiple issues but not his back," which likely means the ankle/foot injuries have caused observable degeneration. HUGE dynasty hit to Mark 😥

HOLD Diabate and Nurk for now, as this may make Mark a shutdown risk ROS, but they could end up drops.

Wild salary dump from Memphis! 2 1sts to acquire Smart, 1 to dump him, yikes.

Wizards get Marcus Smart, Colby Jones, Alex Len, a 25 1st

Kings get Jake LaRavia

Grizzlies get Marvin Bagley, Johnny Davis, 2nds

Keegan 📉 (even further)
Smart ❓ (could be bought out)
Bub/Kyshawn 📉 (if Smart stays)

Clips add a perimeter scorer!

Bogdan Bogdanovic and 3 2nds (what) to the Clippers

Terance Mann and Bones Hyland to the Atlanta

Risacher 📈 (combined with the Hunter move)
Bogdanovic 📈 (mildly)
Mann 🟰
Bones 📈 (but only if Trae gets hurt)
Keaton Wallace 📉
Krejci 📉 (since the last post lol)

Huge upgrade for Cleveland, but nukes Hunter for fantasy.

De'Andre Hunter to Cleveland

Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, 3 2nds, and 2 swaps to Atlanta

De'Andre Hunter 📉📉 (drop)
Caris LeVert 📈 (mildly, but only consider adding in pts leagues)
Georges Niang 📈
Vít Krejci 📈

Not my sweet Diabate!

Jusuf Nurkic and a 26 1st to Charlotte

Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic, and a 26 2nd to Phoenix

Nurkic📈📈 (finally has runway to rehab value before he's likely reflipped next year)
Diabate 📉 (though still an add)
Micic 📉
Martin 🟰
K.J. Simpson 📈
Nick Smith, Jr. 📈
Josh Green 📈

Strange trade here:

Kuz, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and a 2nd to the Bucks

Middleton, AJ Johnson, and a 1st round swap to the Wiz

Initial thoughts:

Bilal 📈📈
Kuz 🟰
Middleton 📈 (short-term Brog style), 📉 (long-term)
Kyshawn George 📈
Bub 📈 (mildly)
AJ Johnson 📈 (mildly for dynasty)

Giannis over the last 6 games is putting on a SHOW:

33.7 PPG
10.8 RPG
8.2 APG
62.3% FG
2.1 BPG

Over the last 2 weeks, he's been a demon even for non-punt ft% players, ranked 14 (!) without punting, buoyed primarily by being ranked 1 in fg% effect and 2 in pts effect.

Bucks are 5-1 in this span.

Back-to-back Dillon Brooks heaves preceded him forcing Dame to an open strong side lay-in sold an otherwise strong game for the surging Rockets.

That was only the appetizer, though, as we proceeded to draw up a great inbounding play to set Sengun up for a lay-in game winner only to...well...

Alperen Sengun quietly just shattered the NBA record for highest +/- in consecutive games with triple doubles with +73! 🚀

His underreported defensive leap this season is a sight to behold, especially as he retakes his place in the offensive pecking order.

Rockets are 1 game back from the 1 seed!

Let's spare a moment of silence for all the KAT haters.

Gobert was always going to kneecap the perennial first round stud, but folks still doubted the "bulls" who touted his top 15 upside despite landing on a team with no C and the same coach who once unlocked him.

Yet here he stands. 5th overall.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX!!!

That wasn't just the franchise record for points in back-to-back games...

De'Aaron just dropped the 2nd most points in consecutive games by a non-Wilt player EVER, after only Kobe's 110.

Filipowski's ability to rapidly capitalize on Luka's turnover, and to draw defenders on an athletic fast break facilitating a lob to Lauri conveys a skill-set as a connective piece FAR further along than what most teams could expect out of a 2nd round pick in a weak draft.

Amen Thompson has arrived. 34min even after being sent back to the bench with FVV's return. Closed most of crunch time in the 4th at the 4 over Jabari with some brilliant defense on Harden. Udoka is seeing the vision!

18 pts
11 rbds
3 asts
2 stls
1 blk

11 stocks in the past 2 games!
