Spreadsheet with Updated Salary and Player Info?? Topic

I'd like to get my hands on one.  Anyone have it?

It's been updated.  You can find a link on the first page of my "Where No One Has Gone Before" Theme League.  I could leave a link for you here, but then you wouldn't go and look at my Theme League.  (Unfortunately the new spread sheet does not have usage info)

Thanks, except that's not current.  The position effectiveness has changed.

Actually maybe it is the correct version.

So, I get that this is probably not related here... but it is close enough. No need to start another thread.

I typically take the data I get from the nba_poss_eff.zip file and the nba_salaries.zip file, and then combine it with a spreadsheet downloaded from databasebasketball that has historical NBA player data. At this point, I can filter out the stuff that I don't need, do some lookups between the sheets and have a nice merged spreadsheet with all the data I need to build pivot tables that I use for drafts, etc.

This isn't so I can just ramble on about what I do with spreadsheets, but more to a point that the files nba_poss and nba_salaries don't have season totals, etc, so I can't get a real read on what a player gives me other than his salary... so I have to use secondary data sources.

The problem is that databasebasketball doesn't have a spreadsheet that runs past the 2009 NBA season... so I am sort of limited.

What I want to do is update my tables because with the changes to defense and salary, they are outdated. I am hesitant to go through that trouble when I am missing the most recent couple of years of data though.

So, long post cut short, are there other WIS files I am not aware of that have a more data included other than:
FirstName LastName Season Franchise Position Salary Minutes PPG RPG APG FGPct FTPct Defense PG_Effectiveness SG_Effectiveness SF_Effectiveness PF_Effectiveness C_Effectiveness
?

Thanks.

Him...  Did find a way to do it, but it is extremely labor intensive.

Heh.  No.  About half a day yesterday though.
