... that go together in hilarious fashion: Talk of the "Mikki Moore Sweepstakes," as various teams bid for the big man. And Moore as an example of the kind of signing that condemned the Kings to long-term mediocrity. Of course, it all comes down to how much you pay him ... Chris Paul inbounding off Kobe Bryant's back. I love that kind of stuff. You know about plus/minus. You have some notion of adjusted plus/mius. And now here's statistical plus/minus. A peek at the economic goings-on at the ...

And I’m going to look at breaking EOPM down by position. The difference between Offensive APM and EOPM for point guards is higher than I want it to be (the error is partially due to the huge range in PG Offensive APM totals, from Kidd’s +10.01 to Jack’s -5.48), and perhaps there’s a way to lower that difference by accounting more for how a player ...
