## Resource

The NBA trade deadline was particularly brutal for fantasy basketball players. Combined with the tanking epidemic and irregular schedules, it is no mystery why fantasy basketball is only for the most dedicated fans. Is this an issue that Adam Silver cares about, or is even aware of? Why does the NBA ignore growing fantasy sports as a potential revenue growth area? That issue is discussed on this episode, plus a host of other topics including the return of Jayson Tatum and Trae Young, the red-hot Hornets, the Hawks having a winning streak, key playoff races and more.
