This episode of the Locked On Fantasy Basketball podcast focuses on various NBA players and their fantasy prospects as the trade deadline approaches. Josh Lloyd and co-host Adam King tackle questions from listeners regarding players such as Tyus Jones, Buddy Hield, and Michael Porter Jr. They discuss the diminishing fantasy value of Tyus Jones due to a shift in Phoenix's rotation, suggesting he may not be a must-roster player anymore. Hield's inconsistencies render him more suitable for streaming than as a permanent roster spot. The duo also contemplates whether Michael Porter Jr. could be a buy-low candidate, despite his recent struggles, and they weigh in on the potential impacts of various trades and injuries across the league, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding players like Jonathan Isaac and Jeremy Grant.
The discussion extends to the significance of the upcoming trade deadline, emphasizing that while there may be opportunities, many players' values are more likely to decrease than increase post-trade. Insights are shared on players such as Scoot Henderson and Keonte George, with the hosts noting that roster moves should be strategic and well-informed rather than reactive to rumors. Listeners are encouraged to maintain a positive outlook amidst the chaos of potential trades and player changes in the league.
