Well their analytics team was thinking of trading Klay for Love until Jerry stepped in and said :whoa:
Traditional players and GMs do that trade quicker. West didn't because he knew the game was going pace and space. So his decision not to trade Klay is based on analytics

I wouldnt agree in totality, they have their purpose and could be used to help players develop and refine their games, and also the staff with player tendencies and who's successful where etc. But yes I think it does it get outta hand, especially when they were used arbitrarily.
You right breh....but statisticians have always been used in sports .....but this new analytics bs creates a new category for itself almost each week:mjgrin:......they got so many analytic categories I couldn't begin to name them all.....it's a racket for nerds at this point breh:manny:

Yet you're the one supporting the cac agenda in this regard.

Analytics is being used to try and eliminate nba playing experience out of the calculus in getting a front office or coaching job in the nba. Since most former players are black, the analytics movements is directly damaging black people.

I don't care if he's white. He's on the right side of this fight. Analytics is anti-black.

So..you're saying you're white but you think you're helping black people by claiming that they can't do math?

No wonder you got that banner.

I am not sure what the anti-analytics crowd is about..

because let me tell you...based on the nonsense yall spout on here and the bullshyt nostalgia and eye-test arguments you make....the sport could use some analytical rigor.

not all metrics they use are good..of course not and I disagree with some of the conclusions they draw...especially on the defensive side of the ball

but analytics is useful...

Nah. Cacs created it as a means to weed out black folks from jobs in the nba after their careers. In the past it was former black players like Elgin Baylor getting front office jobs. Now they giving all the GM jobs to cacs that never played and are just from MIT that study numbers.

They're trying to eradicate the utility of expertise in playing the game by making it seem like numbers is all you need.
So what you're saying is there are no smart black people at MIT to give jobs to :mjpls:
Be a WOAT posting fake black militant rhetoric and undermine black people's intelligence
