Every rostered player’s real salary graded against projected value — the league’s biggest steals, worst overpays, and which front offices are getting the most for their money. Salaries are real where we have them; worth comes from the projection engine.
Salaries: real deals where available for 344 of 384 rostered players · worth from the Balladex projection engine (production rate, aging curve, role) · refreshes with new data. Grades are an analytical model, not the team’s books.
