Cam Reddish (SG/SF, ATL): Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of leagues ANALYSIS: No, the Hawks won't ever win the Luka trade. BUT. The Hawks came out very nicely off that deal all things considered.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm going a little bit over my self-imposed 50% rostership-threshold with this WW target, I know. But men are weak, I guess.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is a fantastic play for everyone out there. Do you like the current, Rockets-Gordon? Got you.
