SAS roster:

PG: Greivis Vasquez/Darren Collison/Myck Kabongo/Marquis Teague/Cory Joseph
SG: Stephen Jackson/Gary Neal
SF: Chandler Parsons/Matt Barnes/Caron Butler
PF: Tiago Splitter/Jared Sullinger/James McAdoo, Mirza Teletovic
C: Brook Lopez

I have a lot of PGs, SFs, and PFs. I'm looking to consolidate that depth and maybe starters into better players at SG and a backup center. A PG upgrade would be nice but I'm happy with Vasquez. Collison is on the market at the right price. Really want a good shooter at the SG. Any kind of jump shooter on the market will do if you have one to trade. SF I'm happy with, but Butler is on the market. I want to consolidate at PF and keep just one of McAdoo or Sully and want out of Teletovic. Of course I need a backup Center.

Also I won't have Internet for about 2-3 hours so don't expect immediate responses.

C: Brook Lopez/Meyers Leonard/Lucas Nogueira

Send me some offers for a good SG. I need a good shooter on this team. All starters are off limits unless more is added on the other team's side. Guys like Sully, McAdoo, Collison, Kabongo, Teague, Barnes, and Leonard are available in this trade. I also have a PLETHERA of picks!

Portland has 16 players worth keeping and 16 roster slots. So, if you have cap space or a TPE, or want to propose a two-for-one:

Tony Wroten for a 2014 1st, or
Patrick Mills (not half bad as a third-string point guard, and cheap) for a 2014 2nd, or

two-for-one with one of those guys and T.J. Warren for a slightly better SF prospect, or with Teletovic for a slightly better PF, or with Gobert for a slightly better C prospect.

Heat Rotation
PG: Deron Williams / JJ Barea / Chris Duhon
SG: James Harden
SF: Luol Deng / Earl Clark(RFA)
PF: Pau Gasol / Reggie Evans
Cc: Marcin Gortat / Aaron Gray / Greg Stiemsma

Anyone wanting a 3-for-1 deal?
Pau Gasol is available a lesser PF & some solid bench depth
email me an offer at carl.killian@hotmail.com

*Derozan is still somewhat available in Chicago.

Still looking for a Houston GM. Who's interested?

lukekarts · Post #851 » by **lukekarts** » Mon Mar 4, 2013 10:06 am

Milwaukee Bucks

George Hill / Jason Kidd
Dwyane Wade / Ben Gordon
Tayshaun Prince / Kyle Korver
Dirk Nowitzki / Spencer Hawes / Brian Scalabrine
Larry Sanders / Aron Baynes

Bolded guys very unlikely to be moved now.

Korver & Gordon (when tradeable) may be available for slightly cheaper guys.

Hawes ($6m) is immediately tradeable. I'd be looking for a PF/C in return.

Obviously I won't give these guys away - I'm OK with paying $3m luxury tax in Milwaukee if it means a deep playoff run (from everything I've read the owner seems pretty happy to spend if he's getting a good product and this is probably why MIL have been in mediocrity for so long rather than fully rebuilding); but if I can drop a million or two I'll listen.

Much like sterncohen did a page back, I'm going to do some pimping of my team. Well, Larry Sanders:

Case Study 1: Basket Proximity
Overall more than 1/3rd of shots in our superset of 76,000 shots occurred with an interior defender within 5 feet of the basket. We assert that “dominant” interior defense can manifest in two ways: reducing the shooting efficiency of opponents, and also reducing the shooting frequency of opponents. In terms of reducing efficiency, we found that Indiana’s Roy Hibbert and Milwaukee’s Larry Sanders (Figure 3) were by far the most effective. We evaluated this by measuring the field goal percentage of close range shots when a qualifying interior defender was within 5 feet of the basket. Overall, NBA shooters make 49.7% of their field goal attempts when qualifying interior defender is within 5 feet of the basket; however, this number drops to 38% when either Hibbert or Sanders are within 5 feet. In contrast, we found that Phoenix’s Luis Scola and Golden State’s David Lee (Figure 3) were the worst defenders in these situations; opponents made 63% of their close-range field goals when Scola was within 5 feet of the basket.

Case Study 2: Shot Proximity Overall 27.8% of NBA shots occur within 5 feet of a qualifying interior defender. We evaluated 21,042 shots that met this criterion and examined two separate aspects of defensive tendencies: Shots Defended, and Proximal FG%. The results for each are presented below.

A) Shots Defended: the relative frequencies in which the defender is located within 1, 3, or 5 feet of shot attempts. We calculated these frequencies for 93 qualifying defenders that faced at least 200 shots while playing defense. Tyler Hansbrough had the lowest frequency of being close to shots; he was within 5 feet of shots only 20.7% of the time. Only 3 defenders were within 5 feet of shots more than 35% of the time: Josh Harrellson, Kosta Koufos, and Jordan Hill. Serge Ibaka was fourth at 34.5%. The full set of results is available in Appendix 2.

B) Proximal FG%: the relative efficiencies of shooters in the proximity of the defender. Overall, when there is a
qualifying interior defender within 5 feet of a shot attempt, the NBA shoots 45.6% from the field; however this value varies considerably depending on which defender that is. The most effective proximate defender in our study was Larry Sanders; opponents shot only 34.9% when he was within 5 feet of their shot. Conversely, Anderson Varejao was found to be the least effective proximate defenders with a proximal FG% value of 54.2%.

Conclusion:
This paper has sought two accomplish two main objectives: 1) demonstrate that the combination of spatial analyses, visual analytics, and optical tracking data presents a potent new mechanism to understand defensive effectiveness in the NBA, and 2) expose important challenges associated with measuring defensive performances in the NBA. Despite some relevant limitations, we contend that our results suggest that interior defensive abilities vary considerably across the league; simply stated, some players are more effective interior defenders than others. In terms of affecting shooting, we evaluated interior defense in 2 separate case studies. Each study focused on important aspects of interior defense, and as a result each study both answers and provokes important questions about defensive analytics. Although we acknowledge that neither study clearly identifies the best and worst interior defenders, we also contend that 1) each study effectively reveals important characteristics of good defensive play, and 2) advancing defensive analytics will be an long-term iterative process that will require several investigations and multiple new approaches. Lastly, due to his outstanding performance in both case studies, we conclude by suggesting Larry Sanders is the best interior defender in the NBA.

Memphis roster is finally updated. Still looking to deal, have way too much depth that needs to go.

Karmaloop · Post #855 » by **Karmaloop** » Mon Mar 4, 2013 4:45 pm

PG: Raymond Felton / Eric Bledsoe / (Pablo Prigioni)
SG: Tyreke Evans / Landry Fields
SF: Alonzo Gee / Alex Poythress / Steve Novak
PF: Greg Monroe
C: Kendrick Perkins / Marcus Camby

Looking to make some moves. Felton and Perkins are being actively shopped, and willing to move Tyreke Evans in the right deal.

NW7 · Post #856 » by **NW7** » Mon Mar 4, 2013 6:35 pm

ATL:
Tony Parker / Avery Bradley
Jared Dudley / Manu Ginobli / Gary Harris
Kawhi Leonard / Vince Carter / Giannis Adetokunbo
David Lee / Nick Collison / Jan Vesely
Tim Duncan / Timofey Mozgov / Willie Cauley-Stein

Pretty content with my roster and really don't mind finishing the game with it. However this game is all about trading and I'm certainly open to hearing/talking offers. Feel free to send them my way.

Also, Vesely can be had for cap space or for a cheaper expiring contract. I know that he hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, but could be a nice grab for a team looking for upside.

WillyJakkz · Post #857 » by **WillyJakkz** » Mon Mar 4, 2013 6:50 pm

Clippers looking to either try to continue to contend or blow it up.

Looking to package Varejao, Lopez, Shumpert into C upgrade or looking to move KG and Pierce to real contenders or possible contenders for over the top move.

Honestly not sure Jennings is a championship caliber PG just yet BUT the old vets may be good for him.
