Should you trust the numbers or hold off before dropping key contributors like Quentin Grimes?

Roster strategy gets a reality check as Josh highlights must-adds—Dereck Lively, Ryan Rollins, Keegan Murray, and Jaden McDaniels—and exposes overvalued options like Anfernee Simons, Dennis Schroder, and Harrison Barnes. From deep-league stashes to must-drops, find out which NBA sleepers, streamers, and fading assets can change the course of your season. Does the hype around Noah Clowney or Peyton Watson hold up?
