Lauri is basically a younger version of Bojan that may not stay healthy or ever be as good as Bojan is now. I just don't see us doing that sort of move.
 
Gordon dropped 38 tonight... guess that price going up.

Fun fact, Locke's new "PAAC" rating was stolen from me when I was in high school and he was still using something called "Locke Offensive Rating". I can never prove this, but who cares. His rating is basically TS%....Locke is easily one of the worst representatives for sports analytics out there.

It sounds confusing. He had a rating system when you came up with your system. But he renamed it to PAAC so he might have stolen it. A few million nerds each year come up with rating systems but that doesn't mean it was copied from someone. He at least compares it against the current year average. So a PAAC (points above the average created) rating of "2" the previous would actually be a -"4" if the entire league on average got dramatically more efficient/better. This stat is more than just TS%.

He had his Locke Offensive Rating, which was not renamed to PAAC. It was different. I'm not trying to pretend to be a genius by the way, PAAC is very basic stuff. I was just the one who happened to mention it to him.

It's so simplistic and narrow focused it really shouldn't be called a rating system. The way he throws it around is major disservice to the actual analytic models that have been built. Nothing is wrong with the number itself, but Locke is a text book example of someone who does poor analysis and uses things incorrectly.
