FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the WAF NBA Trade Machine?
A free NBA trade machine that checks salary matching and shows how a trade changes both teams' projected wins, using the Wins Added Formation player value model. It also has a Trade Finder that suggests fair offers for any player.
What does Wins Added (WA) mean?
Wins Added estimates how many wins a player adds over a replacement-level player, combining scoring efficiency, playmaking, rebounding and defense, scaled by projected minutes.
How are the NBA power rankings and win projections made?
Each team's projected record blends its roster's total Wins Added with an efficiency model built from real offensive and defensive ratings, then runs 5,000 simulated seasons for playoff and title odds.
Is there an NBA GM mode?
Yes. WAF GM lets you take over any franchise and run trades, the draft, free agency, rotations and simulated seasons, built as a video game GM experience.
Are the NBA betting picks free?
Yes. The betting model projects every game's spread, total and player props from the same player model and flags edges against an estimated market line.
