Move history

What the move was worth on what was known the day it was made: the team's average week with the dropped man's line swapped for the added man's.

What it gave over the matchup periods that began within a week of it, the man added against the man dropped on the days the spot was his. A move made in the playoffs is read the same way over the playoff periods.

Expected reads each man on Box Out's line as it stood that day, without its allowance for a sudden change in his minutes or the league site's own latest projection, which earlier seasons never kept, so every season's moves are read on the same line.

A figure far from the rest is drawn at the picture's edge, and its dot's title gives the figure.

Click a dot, or tab to the picture and step through the moves in date order with the arrow keys: the move shows under it.

A pickup that dropped a man held four weeks or more, or held since the draft, is followed through every man who held the roster spot in turn, against the dropped man's games over the same days at the share of them the team had started. Its figure is categories a week over the matchup periods it ran.

When a man has held the spot four weeks (a keeper found, whose own later drop starts a new story), the dropped man comes back, the man holding it is traded, or the regular season ends. If the spot empties, the open place counts at what a streamed place returns.

The moves inside a stretch keep their own figures in the table at the end, which names the stretch; the stretch is counted once, on the move that began it.

A stretch that ran to the season's end, or found a keeper, is followed on into the team's playoff periods as a line of its own, never added to its figure.

Each man's part of the lane is the days he held the spot, in order; point at a part for his days held and games started.

The pickup's own figure on the day it was made: nobody could know then how long the spot would be held, or by whom.

Type a player's name, added or dropped, or choose part of the season or one matchup period: the table keeps the moves that match, and says how many.

A move that began a long-term stretch shows the stretch's figure; a move inside one names it. Either opens that spot's story above.
