How can the pieces fit together in New Orleans?

With the recent signing of Rajon Rondo, the Pelicans are now tasked with adding in a ball-dominant point guard alongside late-season acquisition Boogie Cousins, simultaneously. It feels like a big task, and in a crowded Western Conference, it could spell early trouble both from a reality and fantasy perspective.

Dan Besbris breaks it down and how it alters the top-15 picks for next year.

The season begins one week sooner!

The news doesn't get any better than that. With the offseason shortening, Aaron Bruski joins Dan Besbris for a look at fantasy ramifications of extra time off during the year, plus the earlier Trade Deadline and its impact on stashes, rest candidates, and potential player movement.

And of course the guys talk Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets news.

Rome is burning!

Phil Jackson is gone, Carmelo Anthony appears to be on the way out, Tim Hardaway Jr. (the prodigal son?) is back, the triangle offense is cooked, and no one knows what to expect from the New York Knicks in 2017-18 ... except Seth.

Seth joins Dan Besbris for a breakdown of the Knicks from a fan's eye and from a fantasy perspective - it's not easy to root for that team.

On this glorious ZainDay, laptops may have tried to die, but we won't let them!

Zain Dhanani joins Dan Besbris for a look at how a Carmelo-to-Houston trade would impact fantasy values, the Lakers' signing of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and most importantly, with almost everyone of value jettisoned out of Atlanta, the Hawks are ripe for the fantasy pickin'. Dan and Zain tell you who to grab.

There's a key stretch of nine players that occupied the 6-through-14 slots on the final 2016-17 NBA season rankings, and each of them has either changed teams, added a superstar, or suffered big injuries. How does one pick between them next year?

Dan Besbris breaks down the battle between injury prone players and guys that are attempting to settle into a wildly new situation. It may make or break your team next year, so get ready for an offseason-long process!

With so many of the top-15 players on the move, ignoring or avoiding all of them in fantasy drafts is no longer a viable option -- that's why we have access to the Risk Sliding Scale!

Dan Besbris shows you how it works.

On Friday morning, the New York Knicks extended a 71-million dollar offer sheet to Tim Hardaway, Jr., and the masses laughed.

But, should they? Maybe the Knicks are secretly smarter than all of us. Dan Besbris and Aaron Bruski investigate.

Plus, Ricky Rubio and Jeff Teague in new spots, Miami bringing back the Heat band, and some lesser players find homes.

Later on Wednesday we learned that Jae Crowder was the piece headed back to Utah in the Gordon Hayward sign-and-trade. What does this mean for the Utah Jazz wings?

Dan Besbris welcomes Hernan Golbert back to the fray for a look at that, plus Jeff Teague, Danilo Gallinari and Dion Waiters signings, and where they'll likely end up fantasy season rankings.

The fantasy fallout of the Gordon Hayward signing is massive. That is not an understatement.

Dan Besbris and Hoop Ball Pro Zain Dhanani cover Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford, Jae Crowder, Avery Bradley, Ricky Rubio, Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles, Rodney Hood, and of course, Hayward in a deep dive into how each of these players may see their numbers change from year to year.

Dan complains about July 4th, and Zain makes the Jumbotron!
