“Ptmilo and DJphan, when you are talking about how regression is used to set the coefficients for some all in one metrics, what are they regressing against?”

short of it is.. rapm… long answer is a bit long winded but you should read this:

Doogie, much appreciate your keeping me in the dark.

Hey, since the thread’s going away shortly, a Geo-esque non sequitur (who am I kidding, no sense going up against the master…):

Jowles, not sure if you gym or just lift at home, but when did muffinheads start doing multiple sets on machines and just sit there, playing with their phones?

Just came back from my gym without accessing any of the machines I wanted. It’s maddening.

In reply to Downtown Doogie Brown.

Why don’t we know whether Brunson is playing tonight? How can the league be okay with this?

Raven, I won’t let you know whether I’m serious or not. I’ll even add a neutral emoji so that you will know even less. :-S

But regardless, it touches my heart that my outrage” (with only one quotation mark around it for further confusion) does so much to make your day. :-S

I mean, maybe that is an interesting case with Duncan Robinson. No doubt he’s underperforming his contract but he’s an example of teams valuing shooters much higher than your list. If Duncan had kept a relatively high 3pt percentage, then he’d be a worthwhile contract.

Other players like Bridges, Kennard, Fournier, Joe Harris, Buddy Hield all landed contracts triple, quadruple, quintuple of the list on the previous thread. How sure are we that Grimes is closer to your list than this one?

In reply to djphan.

Doesn’t the league sort of force teams to be more open with injuries nowadays because of gambling? Why so much secrecy over whether Brunson plays tonight?

ok i understand what you’re getting at with ‘bonus’… what i was referring to was it’s relation to the other variables… it’s already being counted within bpm and so weighing it more would be double counting.. according to bpm there’s not much separating grimes and all the folks that i mentioned…. only in 3pm but that’s already being accounted for in that metric… maybe it’s a different story in another metric but i dont’ think it’ll be too different…

and that’s not to mention we are talking about backwards looking metrics…. the forward looking part is a lot murkier as the heat found out when they gave duncan robinson all that money…. 3pt’ers are volatile and if most of your value is tied up into that it’s going to be a bumpy ride…

Down to basically an 8-man rotation, I would like to see Cam more. I don’t think it’ll happen in the midst of a 4 game skid since Cam looks pretty upset on the bench. He’ll be out of the rotation when RJ is back, and we know how he feels about being out of the rotation.
