NBA Fantasy Panic Trades Are Here | Trae Young, Bam, Siakam and More
The first real NBA trade has landed and the fantasy market has officially exploded.
Flanders and Malley dive into Yahoo’s most traded players from real leagues and break down what managers should actually be doing. From Trae Young panic trades and shutdown risk, to buy-low opportunities on Bam Adebayo and Pascal Siakam, this episode is all about separating noise from edge.
We break down real trades involving Trae Young, Jaren Jackson Jr, Bam Adebayo, Pascal Siakam, Chet Holmgren, Dyson Daniels, Alex Sarr and more. Who is a genuine buy, who is a sell before the value drops, and which trades should never happen in competitive leagues?
If you are playing NBA Fantasy category or points leagues and want smarter trade decisions instead of emotional ones, this episode is for you.
Drop your trades in the comments and let us know who you are buying or selling.
