61 through 70 on the Top 100 fantasy board brings a health-tinged mix of sure bets and high-upside bets. Paul George sits in the injury-prone zone, while Deni Avdija could blossom with extra usage in Portland. Zach LaVine remains a reliable scoring anchor, Cam Thomas and Kobe White duke it out for guard upside, and Deandre Ayton looks primed for a productive Lakers setup. Nikola Vucevic, Julius Randle, and RJ Barrett offer solid floor with varying risk, while Kobe White and Scoot Henderson bring safer floors with room to grow. Zion Williamson looms as a high-usage engine in New Orleans, and Brandon Ingram anchors Toronto’s hypothetical, swingy mix. Emanuel Quickley, Scotty Barnes, and RJ Barrett cap the tier with multi-position appeal and distribution upside.

Late-summer NBA chatter centers on LeBron's Lakers future vs ownership ambitions, the Warriors' path to contend around Curry, and a rising-senior debate about legacy with Luka Doncic at the center. The panel weighs cap realities, no-trade clauses, and the odds of blockbuster moves happening in-season rather than July. Fantasy players should note the push-pull between win-now rosters and youth development, plus how these macro moves may reshape usage and value across the league.

ESPN's summer forecast centers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the MVP frontrunner, with Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokic in pursuit, while Cooper Flagg leads rookie chatter. The awards talk sets the stage for fantasy-minded listeners to size up upside, floor, and betting edges as opening night nears.

Zion Williamson and Giannis Antetokounmpo emerge as Chicago’s marquee trade targets in this debate. Zion is framed as the more attainable yet pricey prize, while Giannis is deemed almost unattainable due to cost. The Bulls’ asset mix, fit around a star, and risk-versus-reward calculus take center stage as the podcast maps riskier paths to title contention.
