Re: the Shane vs Rudy/Swift trade. Players who are a lot like Rudy Gay: Maurice Taylor, Tyrus Thomas, Tim Thomas, Stephen Jackson, Stromile...
Well, there can't be any news for a few days since Utah will probably use all 7 days before deciding whether to match. Portland would be dumb to...
Morey is making solid moves to bring good players at a reasonable price. Making these moves will allow us to be competitive, if not this year,...
With the heavy constraints of the salary cap/luxury tax, a lot of the reason for this now is financial. Superstar players are usually pretty good...
What evidence is there that Von learned his lesson? Good leaders also know how to minimize their losses. Von's alright. But signing him to...
Wafer looks like he has upside, but if you think about it honestly you'd realize that he really doesn't. Wafer's positives: athletic, good...
As much as I loved Rudy as a coach, he and CD were terrible with contracts. Most of the problems you describe stem from the awful decisions Rudy...
This is not as bad as it sounds. Teams simply are not going to offer out max contracts. Players had previously convinced themselves that every top...
Wafer can dunk and hit a 3 but has little upside. He was exposed badly in the playoffs.
Only the insane owners ignore luxury tax considerations (Cuban), and even he has stopped doing so. Smith is blowing smoke. Even if Orlando does...
John Lopez is an idiot. After he got fired from the Chronicle the only job he could find was running a tricked-out bus cruise business until he...

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to analyze existing data. Defensive quantitation is a good idea. My impression from the conference last year is...
I should mention that I went to this conference previously, and it was attended by a lot of the stats-minded people interested in the NBA...
Hi All, There is a scientific conference that I'm thinking of attending in September (the 2009 New England Symposium on Statistics in Sports)....
It's awesome having a player like Chuck, who completely wrecks other teams offensive game plans b/c of his unorthodox skills in the big positions....
Meh, some players' games just don't translate across leagues. Sarunas Jascikevius was even more heralded than Vspan, and had a lot more...
I'm happy to see that the Utah team is about to be broken up. They can't afford to keep all their players. Most likely Milsap walks, and the...
Malone/Stockton/Hornacek were the dirtiest team in the last 20 years. The current Jazz are bad, too, but they have a different feel because...
No. Yao is being constantly double-teamed and fronted. While we could improve our passing, it is actually very difficult to get the ball to him in...
