BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The ultimate under-the-radar addition to your squad, folks. The Knicks just announced that they have waived Omari Spellman to make room for newly signed Taj Gibson. Both parties came to an agreement after not reaching one last November, so it looks like two months of a pause gave both sides of the equation enough time to rethink their positions and reunite for another run this season.
Gibson enters a rotation in which he will be a secondary option below the likes of an incredible Julius Randle and an improving Mitchell Robinson. Gibson will be the leading big-man off the bench for the Knicks along with Noel and Toppin... when both of those come back from their current injuries.
Last season, also playing in New York, Gibson put up a 6-4-1 line in 16.5 MPG in 62 games starting 56 of them. Taj is also reuniting with his former HC Tom Thibodeau, and that bodes well for the grizzled vet in his soon-to-be 12th pro-season. Don't expect fireworks from Gibson, but he should be one posting high shooting percentages (he works mostly inside) to go with relatively nice boarding averages.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: If we use common basketball sense, then the New York Knicks and Coach Thibs should try and see what the young guys such as Immanuel Quickley have in them and what they can provide the franchise with ROS, as the NYK are […]
Deni Avdija (SG/SF, WAS): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: One would reasonably think that a player seeing a playing-time boost such as that of Deni Avdija's this month would make said player drop his efficiency numbers.
