NBA Free Agency

Definitions

Fair Salary: we start with the average salary of all players of a similar CraftedPM over the past few seasons, adjusted to account for the changes in salary cap. Further adjustments were made to account for a players role, position, age, and potential upside. This is not a prediction of what a player will sign for on the market, rather this should be used as a tool for use when deciding whether a team overpaid or got a bargain. Example: Brandon Ingram's 'Fair Salary' is listed at around 16 million/season. He will almost surely get more than that and may end up proving to be worth quite a bit more,however, strictly in terms of on court value, 16 million/season is around the salary we would expect him to be worth over the next few years.

CraftedPM: Crafted Plus Minus |  ((standardizedRPM x 5) + (standardizeDLEBRON x 5) + (standardizedRaptor x 7) + standardizedBPM + standardizedMYRPM + standardizedMYLEBRON + standardizedPredator + standardizedPredator + standardizedPLEBRON + standardizedLARAPM + standardizedLA3RAPM) / 25  | An aggregate of many different plus-minus metrics including Player Impact Plus Minus, Real Plus Minus, Box Plus Minus and CARMELO. First, we convert all variables to the  same scale , then we combine them and divide by the number of variables. We then take this number and convert it to the MYRPM (Multi-Year Real Plus Minus) scale.
