Matty G is joined by Alex Sumsky (founder of Basketball Forever) to break down real NBA front office intel Sumsky has been hearing at BF and what it all means for the NBA landscape, and how it could impact fantasy basketball.

From superstar whispers around Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, and even LeBron James, this episode goes beyond box scores and into the conversations that actually shape trades in the NBA, to see where their fantasy domines will fall.

If you play fantasy, love basketball, and want to stay ahead of the news — not react to it — this episode of The Take is a must-listen.
