New Features on RealGM

[CR Reina]

RealGM has been working on many new features over the past few years and here are a few that we are the most proud to share with all of you.

Updated Roster Pages

Our roster pages have been greatly enhanced and now include future free agent information, current free agent rights held, draft rights held, future draft pick obligations, awards, depth charts and how the team acquired every player on its roster.

Roster Composition

One of our most unique new features is the ability to study how teams constructed their rosters. These pages showcase how each player was acquired (draft, trade or free agency) and how many players were selected in the first round or second round or went undrafted.

You can also create custom search criteria, such as the number of players acquired via free agency on teams that won the championship (http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/transa ... uicklink=1) or look at how teams that had an average roster age over 30 have historically performed (http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/transa ... icklink=14).

The custom search area has many different categories to create a very specific search based on the parameters you select.

Future Free Agents

Our new free agent page is searchable all the way to the 2018 offseason and includes the player’s age at the time of free agency, type of free agent, statistics and agent. You can also narrow down the list of free agents to a specific team (http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/future ... ors/player).

Each free agent season also has a position view to give you a better handle on that season’s crop of free agents (http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/future ... A/position).

Free Agent Details on Player Profile Pages

Free agent information is now included on the RealGM profile page of every NBA player.

On the profile page of LeBron James, for example, his early termination option for 2014, player option for 2015 and unrestricted free agency in 2016 are displayed (http://basketball.realgm.com/player/LeB ... ummary/250).

For a player on his rookie contract such as Anthony Davis, the team options for 2014 and 2015 are displayed, along with his restricted free agency for 2016 (http://basketball.realgm.com/player/Ant ... mary/13305).

Future Draft Pick Details

RealGM has completely rewritten and reformatted all draft pick information with concise descriptions of all first- and second-round pick ownership and conveyances. Note that only a pick that originated with a team or will or could potentially be conveyed to a team will be listed under the team. "Pass-through teams," where a team neither originally held nor currently holds the pick, but did previously, will not show this pick listed. However, any pass-through teams will be noted in the "via" parenthetical of the descriptions that appear under the original and current owners of rights over such pick.

Draft Simulator

One of the earliest features on RealGM was our Draft Simulator and this year’s version has several new upgrades. We now include the draft picks from the previous year by the team On The Clock, along with the players selected at that slot in the three most recent drafts. Also featured on this page is the team’s depth chart and upcoming selections.

Draft Search

Our brand new Draft Search enables you to create your own search criteria, such as centers that were selected directly from high school (http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/ ... nge_max=21) and International players with five or more years of service (http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/ ... nge_max=21).

We have a lot of new projects in the pipeline that we will be releasing in the coming months. As always, we are always interested in hearing your feedback.

[RIPskaterdude]

This is amazing.

i think you're amazing too

Agreed!

[RoundMoundOfRebound]

Nice addition.

[AKFO]

I'd consider adding salary cap information (via shamsports or hoopshype or hoopsworld or something) onto the roster page. It'd be great to make realgm the go-to site for that sort of stuff.

Yep. That's the one thing I was hoping for...... right now I always have to leave the site to get this, would be great to add this.

One other thing would be to take that salary information to make the Trade Checker more "pure". I've always found the Trade Checker to be weird compared to ESPN's Trade Machine, in which you see the actual salary and can visualize things much better.

[Revived]

Wow this is really good work. Hats off to the Real GM staff for making this happen. Much props.

[killerbs]

Any future updates on including salary information for the players?

[Throwback24]

Really cool!

[kmatrixg]

Come on guys... you were already my favorite basketball related website by a long shot - it's not even fair now.
Give the other sites a fighting chance at least

[irie]

[Gek]

[Dr Aki]

This is amazing.
