Does Win Shares not favour players who's team actually Win, regardless of how much of an impact they really had?
Based on my observation, it is a combination of the two, but with more of the equation sitting with the individual player (I find individual ORTG, which is half the equation, tends to depend very much on the player, while the team has a huge impact on the DRTG side of things, probably responsible for a little over half that number - just rough estimating on my part).

I then speculated that it could be Patterson because he has the best deal, you could get something for him, and Scola can start.
I don't actually know what will happen but I'm 962% certain SOMETHING will
2Pat/Bebe/Wright/2015+2016 1st rounder...
...without sacrificing much current roster depth, or future draft pick depth.
And based on need, he'd be targeting a PF. So the question is, who?"Stop eating your sushi."

Bennett and Tristan Thompson are, arguably, in competition for spots on the hometown NBA team and Team Canada. This is another sense in which Bennett might be supremely motivated looking down the road ... and be prepared to knuckle down and play anytime, anywhere to learn and grow.
So we might be able to get .... sort of several kinds of "hometown discount" from Bennett - particularly with Thompson as an FA next off-season. I really think it could be very important to get the Bennett thing right.
Canadian high-end talent. Maybe this changes everything ....Last edited by Wild-ling#1; Mon Sep 28, 2015, 03:19 PM.

Stephen Brunt asks Bennett: "What appeals to you about coming back to your hometown to play?"
Answser: "Everything. The fans support, the family support, the players, coaches, but mainly I think this is the best move to help my development long term".
The Raptors have not yet spoken to Bennett about his role with the team.
Short interview tho'.Last edited by Wild-ling#1; Mon Sep 28, 2015, 03:06 PM.

Bennett's got the inside track now, obviously. I'm wondering how much, if at all, that kind of jockeying might have played into Bennett's decision to give up $2M and get here now. As low as his stock is ... he's still got a chance to turn heads, hasn't he?
Those heads are now all local. And if any of this is true, and if he shows enough, we could be in about as ideal a situation as can be, in this regard, come 2016 re-signing time.
Quite a few "ifs". But still not utter fantasy, right?
