Players
What each player was actually worth in a given season, against what he was actually paid. Worth is Marginal WAR (mWAR), the wins he added; Marginal Plus Minus (mPM) is how good he was per 100 possessions. Sort by value over salary to find the bargains.

Reading these numbers. mWAR is the wins a player adds over a replacement-level player in his minutes, where replacement level sits at −1.77 mPM (a roster of them wins about 8 games). mPM is points per 100 possessions against an average player. Market value is what an unconstrained market would pay for that production at that season's cap, which for the very best players exceeds what any contract is permitted to pay them. That gap is the point, and the method page explains it.
