How trade values work
Every player gets a rating from 1 to 5 stars: where he ranks among players on an NBA contract. The stars map to five tiers.
- Franchise 4.5 to 5 stars Top 5% of the league. Teams build around these players.
- All-Star 4 stars Top 15%. A headline piece in any trade.
- Starter 3 to 3.5 stars Top half. An everyday player with real trade value.
- Rotation 2 to 2.5 stars A regular in a defined role. Usually a supporting piece.
- Depth 1 to 1.5 stars Bottom 15%: fringe roster, call-ups and replacement level.
What drives an NBA rating
- Offense 40% Overall impact (PIE), efficient usage and scoring volume.
- Defense 25% Defensive rating, steals, blocks and defensive rebounding.
- Contract 15% What he produces against what he is paid, and for how long.
- Upside and age 15% Draft pedigree for young players, the age curve for veterans.
- Availability 5% Share of possible games played over recent seasons.
Stats pool this season with the last three, weighted toward the most recent, so a hot or cold week barely moves a rating.
Ratings are recalculated every night, but a player changes rating only once his score clears the edge of his band by a margin, so one game does not move it.
