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.

Malley and Mattrix sit down to break down which NBA teams are actively tanking, which teams are pretending not to, and how it directly impacts your fantasy basketball strategy heading into the business end of the season.

We cover:

• Which teams are most likely to rest stars or limit minutes

• How tanking changes rotations and creates unexpected value

• Players who benefit from tanking and become late-season adds

• Risky holds vs smart drops as teams shift priorities

• How to manage tanking teams in head-to-head and classic formats

If you’ve been burned by late scratches, surprise DNPs, or random 28-minute nights, this episode explains why it’s happening and how to stay one step ahead.

Drop your fantasy questions in the comments and let us know which teams you think are tanking hardest.
