  • Ep.47: Dejounte Murray Trade, Top-12 Fantasy Football QBs

    Najee & Justice are back to talk about some NBA before deep diving into the beginning of their fantasy football ranking series. 

    They start by getting into the Dejounte Murray trade and how that might have changed the landscape in the Eastern Conference. Do the Hawks have the best backcourt in the East, or maybe even the league? 

    Of course they can't help but talk about the Lakers and they play a game of "Is Russell Westbrook better than _____" with a bunch of mid-tier point guards. Things get pretty sad there. 

    After all of that, they dive into their top-12 QB rankings for the 2022 fantasy football season. From 12-1 the guys give their reasoning behind ranking the players and talk about some pros/cons to each one.

    • Why the turnover battle is so important in this series
    • They then break off into talking about Finals MVP, LeBron vs. Steph legacy and whether or not Andrew Wiggins can be classified as a "bust". Of course, that leads into a tangent on who's better between Wiggins & Ben Simmons because, why not? 

      Lastly, they dive into the NBA offseason rumor mill and touch on: 

      • The Lakers hiring of Darvin Ham & a unwillingness to include a pick in a Westbrook trade

      • Ep.38: NBA Top-75 Draft w/ Justice Gregory

        The guys are back to get into their very own NBA 75 draft and with it comes a whole lot of restrictions...


        So, they both have to draft a team of 12 (5 starters and 7 bench players) which consists of two at every positions and then two wildcards that can be of any position. Along with that:

        • They must draft two players not on the NBA 75 list 
        • They can't draft any starters that have played for the same franchise before
        • That second one really causes some issues for the boys, but head on over to Twitter and let us know who you think drafted the better team.
