For most NBA and fantasy basketball fans, the summer months can be fairly boring after free agency and Summer League. You turn off your Woj and Shams notifications, you twiddle your thumbs, and await the days of September when your fantasy commissioner messages the group chat to see if everyone is back in this season. However, if you are like me as a dynasty manager, these are actually some of the most exciting months. This is when I’m scouring opposing teams’ rosters in my leagues, looking for opportunities to build up the value and set up my team for success down the road. I am looking for players that seem to be undervalued by the league and determining which players of mine may be valued higher by opposing managers.

This is the heart of buys and sells. I went in-depth on what the concept buys and sells actually mean on the Punt Intended pod. For a quick summary, we are looking to trade for players that aren’t being discussed in the greater public as “buys” while simultaneously trading away players dynasty managers are not viewing as “sells.” You want to pounce on these targets (or trade them away!) before people realize what their actual value is for dynasty. Below, I have identified four buys and three sells that I do not see as widely discussed as…well, buys and sells.

Remember, just because I have a player listed as a “buy” does not mean I absolutely love them. It just means I think their value is higher than what it would cost to acquire them in a trade. Ditto for the sells; I don’t necessarily think they aren’t solid dynasty assets, but rather I believe you can garner more in trade for them than what their fantasy production will be for dynasty.
