Anthony Kates
I'm a husband, father and fantasy sports fanatic. I've been playing some fantasy sport or other since the fall of 1996, thanks to one of my childhood best friends, Brent. I enjoy watching all major sports, reading fantasy novels, watching TV shows and movies, playing video games and writing about fantasy baseball. I started at Sports Ethos in 2023, just writing one article a week and cutting my teeth in fantasy sports writing and I am now a co-lead of the Fantasy Baseball department, co-host of the Fantasy MLB Today podcast and the author of two weekly articles, our dynasty baseball rankings and a handful of random articles a year. I support the Houston Astros, Dallas Mavericks, Tennessee Titans and all things Texas Longhorns.

Sunday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 02/02
Welcome to Sunday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 02/02! I don’t know where to start today. Yes, this is the pickups article, but as a Mavericks fan, my heart has been ripped out of my chest. The Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade will have long-term impacts on both the Mavericks and the Lakers, not to mention the league at large. To add to the hot stove, the Bulls, Kings and Spurs pulled off a three-team swap, with De’Aaron Fox getting moved to San Antonio, Zach Lavine to Sacramento and some picks and things to the Bulls.
