In, closer to 1.

If new players are somehow out before we start they're not included right?

New players will be out in less than two weeks. There’s no way we’ll even be through the first round by then.

20-21 seasons will be eligible.

You think it will be that quick? Ok. Switching to 24 then.

Admin has stated that players will be released on time. Historically that is two days after the regular season. Last season, despite everything funky going on, players were released two days after the regular season ended, so I'm pretty confident that it will be the case again.

WHERE ARE MY NEW PLAYERS?!

I hold you personally responsible.

There were some pretty late games on Sunday. Maybe in the morning?

So how much is defense a calculation versus observation? Do they have metrics they pull in that spit out a number? Or is some guy sitting there saying "well, I guess LeBron is still probably a 70"

I was looking at my Orlando franchise theme team and admiring my Shaq, Dwight and Ho Grant frontline thinking of how awesome it would be to see those guys play in a front court together. Then I wondered how would they do against a perimeter team like the Warriors and it occurred to me that defensive rating should factor in position effectiveness penalty with range. If peak defense Shaq is 80 and he's guarding Dirk on the perimeter, is he still an 80 defender? No. Wouldn't that completely open up possibilities for lineups? Conversely how would 80 D Stockton do against Bernard King in the paint?
