2004-2010 Player Comparison Chart

Hey Folks,
So I have been doing a lot of compiling stats lately and importing them into really useful and enjoyable to use Google Motion Charts. As I understand it via Ben at Blazersedge you folks, Ben and Eddy included are a bit of stat heads like us up here in rain country, and thought I would pass along this chart. It encompasses players that have compiled 15+ Poss/gm between 2004-2010, as you'll see the list of variables is pretty large. However the Default state for the chart I am linking to shows how Orlando players stack up from a value stand point. The size of the player bubble represents the salary a player earned during that year, the color of the bubble represents their number of years of service. The 2 Axis are PER rating, and Poss/gm.
Hope you all enjoy. Here is a bit of a tutorial image that I created to help you understand how to use these graphs.

Yeah, I like to think that this is a stat-savvy community of readers. I hang around the APBR boards.
Thanks for passing along the information. It’s much appreciated!

Reading this correctly?
KG has the highest PER since 2004? Is Dwight missing?

No
KG had the highest PER in 2004…. press the play button in the lower left.

ok
based on PER Lebron’s been the best player in the league 3 years running.

I'm curious to see what other linear metrics (like adjusted plus/minus) would say.
I would assume they’d, more or less, jive with what PER says about LeBron.

I toyed
with the idea of adding team pace and adjusted +/- to this but haven’t gotten there at this point.

This chart is amazing. Adjusted +/- would be great

+/-
So after looking at Regularized adjusted +/- and reading a lot about the limitations, I just don’t feel like spending the several hours it will take to add that in. I do appreciate the suggestion though.

Yeah, I would imagine incorporating APM would be a tricky venture.
What about WARP? I don’t see why that’d be hard to include.

Do you have a good source for WARP?
If I am going to do it, I need to have data back to 04-05 for the players I am using.

Basketball Prospectus has player pages for everyone on its website.
Unfortunately, the available data doesn’t go back that far.

enormous name labels
I wish there was some way to remove the labels, or create a legend.
"LeBron doesn’t guard the other team’s best scorer until crunch-time of games, if at all. ... LeBron spends the vast majority of his time defending a non-threat on the perimeter, leaving him free to roam for weak-side blocks or steals." -John Krolik, Cavs: the blog
You and Me both!
I have dug around trying to figure out how to do just that, to no avail.

I could spend all day with that, I had to pull myself away.
