Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 7:21 pm Post subject: The My Roster is better than Your Roster Game
Okay folks,
We are closing in to half the season gone. I have an idea for a mini-game that might help us sort out all those claims that people prefer Player X over Player Y etc.
So here's the deal, all of us start with the current Lakers budget (for year of 2014/15 Lakers is about $70,207,154 according to basketball insiders 14 Jan 2015).
For those of you interested in participating - please post here your preferred Roster following the rules stated below:
(1) Please name your roster using a unique name (if not we will just use your Poster Name's roster as a default). Preferably use a nick that is in someway related to Lakers e.g. Magic's Mob, Purple and Gold, Black Mambas etc.
(2) Players to choose 12 other players that are active in the current NBA league. Kobe and his 23.5 million is a fixture - so you will only have $46,707,154 to juggle with. (I will be using Baskeball insider info to verify)
(3) Please ensure that you have at least 2 players to cover all 5 positions (it's ridiculous to come up with a roster missing one of the slots) i.e. you've got to have at least 2 PGs, 2 SGs, 2 SFs, 2 PFs and 2 Cs in your roster.
(4) This is a simplified "fantasy" style computation competition - we will be using the points scored by your selected players - choosing only the best 8 players scores in your roster for computation.
(5) We will target to use the results from Lakers Games 42 to 46 (or the equivalent games for players you have chosen that are out of current Lakers Roster). Projected dates Jan 19 to Jan 27.
(6) The baseline performance will obviously be the existing Lakers Roster - those of you scoring better will have earned the right to continue to criticise the FO for not having acquired the right players, whilst those who can't do better ought to simply hold your peace and leave matters to your peers who've done a better job.
(7) No prizes but seeing your scores against each other would have earn you the right to proclaim MRIBTYR!
(8) Closing date for team roster submission for participating in this is a day before the start of Game 42 for Lakers. I will try to post as soon as I completed the computations in a ranking list showing the scores and whose roster is above or below the Lakers benchmark. (Tie-breaker will be total salaries - obviously team roster with lower salary will trump over the roster with higher salary if performance score is the same).
Here is an example submission (from me):
Team: Lakers13
(1) Kobe Bryant (SG) - 23,500,00
(2) Jeremy Lin (PG) - 8,374,646
(3) Goran Dragic (SG) - 7,500,000
(4) Anthony Davis (PF) - 5,607,240
(5) Brandan Wright (PF) - 5,000,000
(6) Jonas Valanciunas (C) - 3,678,360
(7) Damian Lillard (PG)- 3,340,920
(8) Kwahi Leonard (SF) - 2,894,059
(9) Nikola Vucevic (C) - 2,751,260
(10) Tobias Harris (SF) - 2,380,594
(11) Ed Davis (PF) - 981,084
(12) Tariq Black (PF) - 507,336
(13) Jordan Clarkson (PG) - 507,336
Total Salaries - 67,022,835
I know some of you will view this as an exercise in futility (since it's more of a wish list and not close to reality - trading for players are a real pain in the ***)- but I hope that we can settle at least hypothetically whose roster idea is better - so best wishes to all participants and remember this is just for fun! _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

He didn't play well at all
I like the idea of this game (fantasy basketball), but rule #6 doesn't make sense when you think about it.
We can't compare our rosters to the FO because they can't just pick any players they want.
No disrespect OP, just my opinion
Yup. This is mostly just an exercise in determining which guys still on rookie contracts are most productive. Doesn't have anything to do with the decisions made by the Lakers FO,

No problems 22 - it's really an academic exercise and as you had pointed out it's not quite realistic - since the FO has much more things to juggle besides just moving players around.
Rule#6 is nothing more as a gauge - since a lot of our members like to think they can do much better - so it's really for us to see how much better it could be (I am hoping maybe, just maybe the results would show that the majority of us really don't have much better ideas).
Come on it could be fun - why don't you try coming up with a roster and see how that fares against the real performance of our current roster? _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

Not quite - the key question is with the same budget and hypothetically being able to get players (without other restrictions) - can any of our posters really do better than what our current FO manage to garner?
So it's not just about rookie contracts - it's really setting up a whole team, you need to think about having a balanced team (minimum of certain types of players) - you have to juggle the finances keeping within the current budget and you have predict which players to bring in to give you the best score.
Of course rookie contracts will give you the best value (if they are producing well). Or is it really so? Why not test your hypothesis - create a roster of Kobe + all rookie contracts and see if that gives you what you think you can get?
On thinking further (I may introduce a rookie cap i.e. each team should not have more than X number of rookies - well let's see how it goes first before we slap another rule in).... _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

Dude, no offense but the "key question" is a big "no duh." If you are allowed to magically grab any player off any roster, you can significantly improve any team. That says nothing about the Lakers FO because you are giving yourself a huge advantage they don't have.

You are probably right - but I'd like to see how it goes - even if all participants do "better" - question to me is how much better? To me if the scores obtained by the new roster is not significantly better (statistically we probably will need something like at least 20% or more difference).
To me it could be interesting nonetheless, anyways - it doesn't seem as if Lakers could go anywhere this season - so this might be an interesting distraction. Come on give it a shot - who knows your ideas might make better sense! _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: LeBron James
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Marc Gasol
Bench:
PG: Russell Westbrook
SG: James Harden
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Zach Randolph
C: Dwight Howard
Looks like I have by far the best team right now.
Nice try CandyCane - there are just some adjustment you would need to make:
Reformated so we can see clearly the area you need to adjust:
Team CandyCanes
(1) Chris Paul (PG) - $20,068,563
(2) Jimmy Butler (SG) - $2,008,748
(3) LeBron James (SF) - $20,644,400
(4) Dirk Nowitzki (PF) - $7,974,482
(5) Marc Gasol (C) - $15,829,688
(6) Russell Westbrook (PG) - $15,719,062
(7) James Harden (SG) - $14,728,844
(8) Kevin Durant (SF) - $18,995,624
(9) Zach Randolph (PF) -$16,500,000
(10) Dwight Howard (C) - $21,436,271
(11) Kobe Bryant (SG) - $23,500,000
(12) need to be filled up
(13) need to be filled up
Your total budget (not counting 2 more positions to be filled) is already -$177,405,682 - this is way too high you need to keep it below the current budget that our FO is working with (you can't have better options than them in terms of budget).
You cannot drop Kobe from the team (this is so that there is at least a recognizable player that still represent that this is a Lakers team) _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

I would make a rule to limit the number of rookie scale contracts on the team.
Yes, we probably might need to - but let's see how version 1 (it's only for 5 games) pans out first before tweaking it.
So please join in the fun and who knows your ideas might be good food for thought too for our roster! _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person. The best way to improve oneself is to focus on the positive things in life and build on them.
Just as a rough example of how the scores would look like:
Current Lakers Roster score (for the game against Cleveland today) -
would come up to 95.
My Lakers13 Roster score would come up to 116
Statistically speaking - that's only marginally significantly different (about 18- 22% depending on whether using 116 or 95 as base) - so nothing to crow about. _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

Cool 44TheLogo - only minor adjustments needed - you need to add back Kobe BRyant (at 23.5M) and adjust your roster replacing some players so you can keep below the 70M mark (which is the current budget used by our FO). In the meantime would you like to think of your team name (otherwise it would be simply 44TheLogo's roster) _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

I'll oversimplify the potential points production possibilities just for the heck of it.

Brandon Knight ($3,553,917) Stats: 18.5 / 5.2 / 4.2

Julius Randle ($2,997,360) Stats: N/A
Joel Embiid ($4,427,640) Stats: N/A

This is before Randle or Embiid are even added to the equation.

Tarik Black ($507,336) / Ed Davis ($981,084) Stats: 4.9

Total Budget: $70,207,154
Leftover: $3,756,978
Of course it's not that easy and the points are probably going to have to bend in several places so they can all work together in the same system and you have to factor in the defensive potential of the team as well.
But anyway, that team should gel and that lineup should win a championship or at least it's built to win one very soon within 2-3 seasons.
If Kobe retired a season or two later they'd have max contract space and could still make a run if they landed someone and their prospects would have started to truly come into their own by then.
And I had a leftover 3,756,978 to add to the other 3 free roster spots. That should be enough for one or two gems you hope to find in pre-season or in summer league.

Hi 44TheLogo - on reviewing your proposed roster - you had missed out our main star Kobe Bryant (it's a compulsory item). So am proposing that your roster be amended to the following 11-man roster (minus the Gasol brothers and Green to keep it below 70M):
K. Bryant 23,500,000
D. Lillard (POR) 3,340,920
G. Dragic (PHX) 7,500,000
J. Butler (CHI) 2,008,748
K. Leonard (SAS) 2,894,059
K. Korver (ATL) 6,253,521
A. Davis (NOP) 5,607,240
T. Duncan (SAS) 10,361,446
H. Whiteside (MIA) 769,881
A. Wiggins (MIN) 5,510,640
S. Muhammad (MIN) 1,971,760
Total salaries = $69,718,215
Please indicate if you are okay with this (I will proceed to track as such unless otherwise informed by you). _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person.

Update - so far I have 4 teams registered. Please hurry to submit your proposed roster to be included in this coming round of computation - let's see if our ideas are "significantly better" than our current FO choices (it probably should be but who knows?)....
Please note I might be a bit late posting the computations (I still have a day job to do ....)
We will see how it goes before we tweak it for another round of 5 games (if interest is there).
Cheers! and may the best roster win!
PS: for those wanting to participate - you can submit your proposed roster as long as it comes in before the start of the next Lakers Game.
I will try my best to include your roster in. _________________ Calling another person idiotic does not necessarily mean you are less idiotic than that person. The best way to improve oneself is to focus on the positive things in life and build on them.
