Meet W·A·L·T·E·R
Weighted Analysis of Lineups, Trades & Expected Results
Propose any trade and WALTER sizes it up from both teams' seats. It tells you who's actually getting better, by how much, and whether the deal is fair or a fleecing. No group-chat arguing. No commissioner playing judge. Just a straight, objective read.
Worth changes team to team
A player isn't worth the same to everyone. WALTER grades from each team's seat, weighing what a guy actually adds to that roster, not some one-size-fits-all price list.
The whole season
It weighs the stretch run and the playoffs, not just next Sunday's matchup.
Fair, lopsided, or a steal
It calls a fair swap fair, flags the rip-offs worth a second look, and spots the rare deal that quietly makes both teams better.
See how it read every trade from 2025.
And no, it didn't cheat. For every trade below, WALTER only knew what everybody knew the day the trade happened. No peeking at how the season played out. Then the games got played, and its call got checked against what actually happened. So a ✓ means WALTER called it before anyone knew which players would break out and which would break down.
The four it whiffed on? Almost all guys who got hurt or came out of nowhere. Nobody was calling those. There's a quick story on each below.

Coming this season
Every trade, graded straight. Even if you're not.
WALTER goes live when the season kicks off. Bring your worst trade idea.
WALTER is an advisor, not a judge. It's sharp at sizing up a trade, but it can't see who's about to get hurt or catch fire. That call's still yours.
