Inside the FBL in the last 12 Hours. As the NBA has sold the league to Kyrie and Chrisgon a Fantasy Draft will be held on Tuesday, August 30th. After announcing that the Portland Roses will hold the number 1 pick they are locking in on selecting Giannis Antetokounmpo. Later on in the draft the Milwaukee Badgers who will hold the 6 overall pick will be looking at Luka, Tatum, Morant, Trae Young and Joel Embiid and Devin Booker, expressing the most interest in Booker. The Toronto Wild Boars have some disagreements in the front office, quote from an Executive in the Franchise. "There appears to be some pretty bit controversy in the front office. The GM believe that the team should go all in on winning, but the Assistant GM along with other members of the front office believe it would be best to go for more of a rebuilding strategy after only getting the 19th pick in the fantasy draft. The GM has told me that he still believes they can build a championship contender, but some people, including one of the most influential members of the front office, see otherwise. The controversy has led to some bad blood between the GM and the assistant GM, as both have different viewpoints of what the team should be doing." The Owner has yet to make a statement about the situation but will have some big ones coming in the future. The New Orleans Jazz are hiring Sue Bird as GM in hopes to bring in Lebron James as the 2 share a very good relationship with each other. The Kentucky Colonels are very interested in former Kentucky players, also making a statement that they are banning all Louisville alumni from attending the Colonels Games.
