Mar. 6 Adds and Takeaways Mar 06, 2020

Show notes

This episode is loaded. There are a whole lot of adds out there with all of the injuries around the league. We'll start with Stephen Curry's return and what it means for the rest of the Warriors. Is Norman Powell going to crush the rest of the way?

There is a lot of deep-league appeal to the Hornets here, so we'll go over them. Michael Porter Jr. was a DNP-CD, so we'll go over some Nuggets notes (four games next week).

Richaun Holmes could be back! We'll break down what that means after Shake Milton and Tobias gave the Kings the business on Thursday.

Jordan McRae goes from outhouse to penthouse as an add. We'll set the expectations going forward with his bad schedule.

There are a lot of other injuries on Jaylen Brown, Deandre Ayton, Malcolm Brogdon, Zach LaVine, Kevin Porter Jr. and a lot more.

Good luck!

Feb. 28 Takeaways and Adds Podcast Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

The NBA has been hit with a lot of injuries again, so that'll be a theme for this podcast. Shake Milton has made it clear he could be a difference maker, but there are other adds to make on Philly, as well.

The Kelly Oubre injury could end his season, and there could be a couple Suns out there on your waiver wire right now.

Stephen Curry is also likely back on Sunday, and the Warriors may have also lost Andrew Wiggins while Draymond Green gets managed. What about the other Warriors?

There are also a handful of other injuries with a slew of adds and streams to make because of the madness.

Show notes

Matt Stroup is joined by Steve Alexander to break down the most serviceable and intriguing waiver wire pickups of the week, including Cam Reddish, an absurdly hot Coby White (33.0 ppg in his last two games) and Damion Lee, who put up another strong stat line on Sunday evening. Plus, thoughts on Andre Drummond and Kevin Porter Jr. struggling in Cleveland, and what to make of the Minnesota center situation with Karl-Anthony Towns injured.

Takeaways and Adds Pod for Feb. 21 Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

Thursday was loaded with takeaways, and of course we had a huge story with Kyrie Irving set to miss the rest of the season. We'll go over what this means for the Nets going forward. We'll also touch on what J.B. Bickerstaff taking over could mean for some Cavs.

A lot of teams from Thursday had new rotations, so we'll go over all the adds from a potent evening. Cam Reddish is suddenly super attractive in Lloyd Pierce's core five. The Pistons made some major changes, too.

In addition to the rest of the Thursday news, we'll touch on injuries for Kemba Walker, Karl-Anthony Towns and Damian Lillard.

They also discuss what a small-ball lineup might mean for Kyrie Irving (if healthy), Caris LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie in Brooklyn, and get another bizarre old-school shoe story from Dr. A.
