Wani...i think this is a good idea to measure only EFFECTIVENESS.  If this is used to measure any sort of activity i think its bad.  Activity should be measured on amt. of trades and other general transactions or posts made in the forum.

Idk if the cap should be a big part of the effectiveness cause the cap is overrated.  Every year teams try to lower their cap and end up not having a great team because of it.  Last year i had a top 3 cap number but i had probably the best team in the game.  Amare, Odom, Melo, Barbosa, Kidd, Jrich, Swift, Dooling, Peja...but i had a high cap number.  I think if someone ends up like that this year then the competitiveness part of it should outweigh the cap number cause they still made their team a lot better.  I started with orlando and ended up with that team, idk how u can argue with that.  Ur formula might end up giving a team that isnt very good 1st place in effectiveness cause they lowered the cap (ie the knicks).

What if u start out with the bobcats who cant lower their cap at all?  Youd be getting non-bonuses every time u do a trade. 


this will also decrease trade activity cause teams taking on any amount of cap wont want to do the trade.  You cant have both teams lower their cap in 1 trade and im guessing that a lot of GM"s will refuse to make trades because of the cap problem.

 

I agree, the point of measuring the GM performance is to measure their Effectiveness which is what I"m trying to do. I would like to consider other variables because of what you mentioned regarding teams that are already under the cap like Charlotte. I was thinking about some kind of player rating system that should also be factored into the forumula because like you said, if you have great players, chances are you will be over the cap...., but attendence and fan approval will be up (takes money to make money)

 

At the end of the day, it will be the votes of the GMs that determine the best GMs.

 

The measurements I were thinking, would be kept internal for me to see just so that people won"t get concious of trading in order to get a bonus. Do you know where I can find a legit player rating site? I remember the BUlls RealGM site use to have something like that...

Thanks for the feed back...

Now the only thing is how does effeciency translate into salary? I hope the corelation is the intuitive. We"ll see what the numbers say...

 

For instance, Dwayne Wade is paid 12.5 Million a year just about and his Efficiency is 29.9 let"s say 29.9 corellates to 29.9 Million so Wade brings in 29.9 Million dollars to the franchise giving the franchise a net profit of 17.4 Million which is good. That"s they way I want to do this.
