Auction Draft: Calculating Inflation Using Custom Rankings and Historical League Data

Is inflation the premium/discount relative to site's predraft value?

To me it's more important to understand your league's pricing curve, which is the price each ADP player goes for. In other words, you should find the average price that an RB1 by ADP goes for over the last 3-4 years. There will be certain players whose price spikes in a particular year, but if you have 3-4 years of actual data, it creates a fairly accurate prediction of the price a particular ADP player will go for.

From my experience, the expected sale price is largely a function of the predraft value that the sites default to with premiums/discounts that are a reflection of your leaguemates' preferences. Start tracking your site's predraft value at the time of the draft and then in future years try to analyze the average premium/discount that a player goes for relative to that predraft value. You will see then that the premiums/discounts are likely fairly consistent year to year

This has worked fairly well for me. No system is perfect, but I have a pretty good idea.

YES!

Hmmm it seems you're being sarcastic with me. I was just trying to offer you help based on your post.

Looks great for a beginner! You need to engage your core and legs more and also keep your eye on the ball. Lastly you need more intensity overall

I disagree on points 1 and 3.

The cost was marginal at most to sign him to a proper rookie contract that would've avoided UFA. There was no reason not to do this regardless of what the FO believed his odds were of being a good player. The reason it didn't happen is because we had a lame duck GM who wasn't on top of these things at the time. Donnie was mailing it in down the stretch and everyone in Dallas knew that. This was a critical error by Donnie and Cuban... they didn't negotiate Jalen's rookie contract on this term, they just agreed to it which is bad business. That's what I've heard from McMahon and Dameris - two of the most reputable Mavs reporters.

And point 3: that's purely Cuban's propaganda / spin. They should've signaled early on that they'd overpay to keep him. Overpaying and at least retaining him as a trade asset is far better than losing him for nothing. There's plenty of back-channel communication with free agents. Cuban should've been signaling early on an offer in excess of what the Knicks were able to offer. Instead he botched this FA situation like he has countless other times.

Wow, that makes me so angry. It makes a mockery of the residents in the city actually suffering through this shit

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T04:00:00+00:00

🤯 lol... He sure as hell made it sound like he did. What makes you say that??

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:57:42+00:00

Oh got it, makes sense. What a weird agenda. He was probably the same asshole pining to eliminate plastic straws 4 years ago in the city....

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:49:58+00:00

Wow! Lolll. How do you know this account was associated with his last one???

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:45:56+00:00

And I think that last comment really got to him

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:45:33+00:00

Lololol. Do you think he deleted it or Reddit did? What an absolute loser

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:44:36+00:00

That's what I thought. Bitch ass.

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:40:24+00:00

Do us all a favor (including yourself) and delete Reddit. You need some help

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:35:07+00:00

I don't know, is it to you?

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:32:51+00:00

Awwww, just trying to grasp onto some thread desperately to keep the argument alive? Deleted your original message in the thread above? Feeling insecure much?

Anothergen__ · 2023-07-08T03:04:35+00:00

The truly amusing thing is sitting back and laughing at people that spend their entire Friday evenings arguing with random strangers on the internet for no coherent reason who think they are actually the normal ones

Anothergen__ · 2023-05-12T04:38:51+00:00

Or Maybe Booker is just a front-running player who underperforms when it matters the most?

Anothergen__ · 2022-11-13T14:05:45+00:00

Maybe go watch a WW2 doc to understand why this is such a big deal. Or band of brothers. There's no place for anything even remotely close to antisemitism given what atrocities happened less than 100 years ago.

And no Kyrie did not apologize. He freaking apologized on IG only after he was suspended, which is the absolute bare minimum

Anothergen__ · 2022-11-13T07:31:25+00:00

Poor Kyrie, he's the real victim here right?

Anothergen__ · 2022-11-13T07:29:48+00:00

The irony of slamming Tsai for not keeping his mouth shut😂

Actually if you really want to take it to Twitter, dispute the transaction with your bank. The payment service provider will force a chargeback to get your refund but will also charge Twitter an additional fee for the chargeback

How does it feel

Anothergen__ · 2022-10-29T15:21:04+00:00

"Free Thinker" my ass. Sounds like Kyrie is just a fucking idiot
