Erik, while very sad I want to thank you for helping us getting better at fantasy. I had a great time debating, taking and giving advice and growing in this fantasy stint. Like all wonderful things in life, they have to end sooner than expected. Money gets in our way of doing what we want and enjoy, i blame the banks, but this is trend for the past years and if sadens me so much.

I hope your dreams come true and thank you again for the wonderful time spent here and on GMTR.

Just wanted to say thank you for the time and effort you've put into this site for the sake of us readers. There are very few people out there who would be willing to take the time to answer each and every person's question(s) on a nightly basis, and you did this with regularity.

As an aside, I can definitely understand the stress involved with producing unique content on a regular basis. It is a much more difficult task than many people realize, especially in a solo venture. There's only so much you can do on your own.

Good luck to you in your future endeavors!

Can we keep the player and team rater somewhere in some form? Even without the analysis it's helpful.

Yeah, time is priceless. The money donated went to paying for this year's hosting.

Re: Like Penny Hardaway

Erik — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:42:04 -0000

I will let the site keep on running specifically to keep those tools available.

I am sorry to see this blog go! It has been my favorite blog and the best fantasy blog I've read period. You have given great advice. What about the money that people have donated? Guess you cannot buy time.

Sad to hear my favorite fantasy basketball site is closing shop. Good luck in the future though. Hopefully one day a good team of guys can help you with the site.

I'm not a facebook guys so I'll definitely follow on twitter.

Good luck to you and all other fantasy bball posters here. I get a kick out of hearing about other teams.

(im assuming the player rater and team analyzer will still be available.)

Wow! This is sad. Nevertheless, thanks for the advice so far, man. I have a high chance of winning my first ever fantasy league, and most credits should go to you, most importantly, was your Top 100 draft ranking.

This has been very enriching while it last.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the interest in the rater, glad to hear you are getting some use out of it. To answer your questions.

about the analyzer

1) For a daily changes league, right now starters and bench players are treated equally in the calculations. So, if it's easier, you can just enter in all your players are starters instead of adding a bench.

2) Again. for a daily changes league, the league average is calculated from the total number of starters + bench players for the league. So in a 12x13 league, the averages would be calculated from the top 156 players.

3) In a daily changes league, all starters and bench players should be factored into the averages.

for the rater:

1) wins per week = number of wins a player provides to a team over replacement in an average week
cumulative wins = number of wins a player provides to a team over replacement year to date (this factors in games played)

partial WARP = a breakdown of wins per week by individual statistical category (to see where players contribute to a team)

2) I'd personally use wins per week to get a sense of what a player would provide to my team, on average.

Hope that helps.

I'd prefer to lose jcraw, but Dragic might do the trick.

Since Patrick created it, I will refer your questions to him so that can address them.

Conrad Burry — Sat, 14 Dec 2013 23:02:57 -0000

aye. i also own Beal so Martell is a nice stop gap until Beal comes back. maybe one more sub-par game from TJones or Tristan might make up the decision. also, i'm a lil scared of the repercussions of the Asik trade (when it happens).

Re: Rudy Gay traded to Kings in 7-player deal

Erik — Sat, 14 Dec 2013 22:15:14 -0000

I like Martell and RoLo/JV. Webster is a definite, but RoLo and JV need some comparative math vs. your drop targets.
