			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In what is becoming a weekly segment on the podcast, Erik and Patrick discuss the week&#8217;s latest injuries, including Andrew Bogut&#8217;s dim outlook, Andrea Bargnani, Carmelo Anthony and Baron Davis, the crazy tough or possibly just crazy Luol Deng, and some bad news for Rajon Rondo owners. We also discuss Erik&#8217;s series of posts where he listed the top players by position over the first month of the season and highlight some of the bigger fantasy surprises and disappointments so far this year. </p>
<p><u>Note</u>: There are some small sound quality issues on Erik&#8217;s end during a few parts of the podcast as his internet connection was giving him a little trouble. It happens very sporadically and all it does is make his silky smooth voice a little tougher to understand at certain parts. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the GMTR&#8217;s first podcast of the 2011-2012 NBA season! And of 2012 itself! </p>
<p>Erik and Patrick return to headphones around the world to discuss the big DeMarcus Cousins trade demand and what it means for fantasy owners, as well as players off to surprising hot and cold starts and whether we think they&#8217;ll continue, and we hand out our waiver wire picks of the week. Also pay close attention for a brief moment in which Erik fantasizes about Boris Diaw in high heels.</p>

	<itunes:summary>Erik and Patrick discuss the fantasy winners and losers from the flurry of moves at the trade deadline, the buyouts of Troy Murphy and Mike Bibby (before Murphy agreed to sign with the Celtics), and injuries to Tony Parker and Antawn Jamison.

The GMTR podcast discourages face-to-ball contact from our waiver wire recommendations (thx Clyde)

Corrections: I said that Mike Bibby forfeited $6.5 million in salary to get out of his contract with the Wizards. It was actually $6.2 million.
Spoiler Alert Ahead!

If you can’t listen to the podcast, here are our weekly waiver wire recommendations:
Wes Johnson
Gerald Henderson
George Hill
James Johnson

<p><strong>Notes to the Show</strong></p>
<p>You can find the SI article discussed in the podcast <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/fantasy/02/07/nba-fantasy/index.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>We learned about the Aaron Brooks situation (and suspension) after the podcast, otherwise we would have talked about it. My quick read is that it&#8217;s very bad news for Brooks&#8217; owners. He&#8217;s not droppable at the moment, but if you own Brooks you can only hope that it&#8217;s resolved one way (hug it out) or another (trade) as soon as possible. If you can trade him for anything of value in your league, make it happen. </p>

Notes to the Show
You can find the SI article discussed in the podcast here.
We learned about the Aaron Brooks situation (and suspension) after the podcast, otherwise we would have talked about it. My quick read is that it’s very bad news for Brooks’ owners. He’s not droppable at the moment, but if you own Brooks you can only hope that it’s resolved one way (hug it out) or another (trade) as soon as possible. If you can trade him for anything of value in your league, make it happen.
