Welcome to ShamSports.com

This is a basketball data and analysis site, that has been around forever, never with any cohesive purpose or structure, liable to drastic change on a whim. Over the years, it has done a lot of things. Now, it does four things.

The Capulator is exactly what the portmanteau in the title suggests. It is an NBA salary cap calculator. Rather than writing out cap scenarios, users can essentially draw them, save them, and share them. Ever written an offseason planning piece in which you devise various moves for your team, and create all kinds of charts and descriptions and whatever else to show your working to people? You needn’t now bother. Come here and draw it.

Be as fantastical or as realistic as you choose. The Capulator is not deterministic, and need not be realistic if you don’t want it to be. What it will be, it is hoped, is militarily precise about what is legal and possible. It does not tell you what to do. But we are hoping it does tell you what you can do.

The CBA Glossary is an attempt at explaining the complex legal document that is the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
