In this episode of Beyond the Narrative, I’m joined by Dan Palyo (aka @ThunderDanDFS), lead NBA fantasy analyst at RotoBaller and 2021 FSWA Basketball Writer of the Year. 

We break down the biggest moves from the opening wave of 2025 NBA Free Agency and dive into what each signing or trade means from a fantasy perspective — including the fallout for Lonzo Ball, Michael Porter Jr., Brook Lopez, and more.

Which players are rising? Who’s trending down? And how should you react heading into draft season?
