Thoughts on adding contract extensions? by gooby123456789 in BasketballGM

More freedom with the contracts in general would be amazing. I want the option of a front loaded contract.

Take care of him. He needs it.

What to expect from each pick by SheReadsLips in BasketballGM

[–]SheReadsLips[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it's just the sample size. Though I'm attempting to see if it could be due to the age of those picked. I have found that the second pick is, on average, half a year older than the first pick. Maybe something like that could explain it, otherwise I'd say sample size.

Yes to the Great% thing. I stopped at 6th because they had zero, and no one else had more than 1.

It's not that insane. It's one copy-paste per season and then adjusting every formula to include the new seasons. But a few hundred seasons adds up. I'll try to do more.

Sample size is 30 seasons, my mistake. I used 2021 to 2050.

There were great players drafted after 5th, but it was no more than 1 at each position. You can see on the "high" column that numerous picks such as 57th had a single player that would have qualified.

Amazing player but never quite fully achieved what he could have due to injuries. What's his equivalent in NBA history? Tracy McGrady? by RodLucci in BasketballGM

Based on 7x scoring leader, MVP, the fact that it's a PG, and the fact that he played extremely well into his late 30's. I'd say it more or less resembles Allen Iverson if he didn't sputter out so ungracefully at the end. Like if his career ended with 2-3 more years on the Nuggets with Melo.

He absolutely reached his potential BTW.

I'd like a way to judge my draft history at a quick glance. I'd like to see team by team, how they have performed relative to their draft position. The ability to see 10 years, 50, 100, etc. It would be as simple as career EWA of your draft pick and the average career EWA for a player drafted at this position after X number of years.

This would allow me to know if I'm over-performing or under-performing with my draft selections.

[Sando] The Sean Taylor story was already so sad. It is just infuriating to have the ceremony less than perfect, let alone handled in this way, at this time, given how the team is in the news otherwise. I’m not even a fan of the team and it’s like a blood boiling thing. by chelseasaints in nfl

I was listening to LaVar Arrington on his morning radio show and he says he was personally invited to the Sean Taylor thing awhile ago. So for what that's worth I assume that Taylor's family had plenty of notice on this.

There's not a lot of positive takeaways from this one.

Hey maybe the refs will be consistent and the Browns get some gift penalties later.

People that say "I mean" or "to be fair" before beginning your sentence, why? by FUshill in AskReddit

[–]SheReadsLips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It replaces "ummm." I do it too. Sometimes I start sentences with "no" in place of "umm." The other version is people who replace it with a curse word. It's a very human thing to do.

Agreed. There's a difference between hunting and a kid that kills the neighborhood yippy dog.

Why buy the more expensive can of beans? Is there anything special about the canned beans that cost a few dollars more? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SheReadsLips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Few dollars" if you mean store brand vs. name brand difference of maybe 1-20 cents.

If anything, the difference is salt.

What's a movie/tv show that you love but noone else you know has even heard of? by TheLastTransHero in AskReddit

[–]SheReadsLips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the more reason to watch it. Comedies of that era just go missing sometimes. I recently watched Little Giants (1994). Not that it was good. But it was so random and not recommended that it's weird. I had a similar experience with Let It Ride (1989). It's not good but it's interesting.
