As I mentioned on Twitter, I recently accepted a volunteer position with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants for the upcoming season.  In early October, I am going to be packing up, leaving New Jersey and moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana.  While it is a volunteer position and I’m not getting paid, but I am extremely excited about the opportunity and it is something that I have working towards for a little while.

Something that I have gotten a few e-mails/tweets about is people wondering what will happen with NBAPlaybook.  Well, the site will be around and I will still be writing here and everywhere else where I am freelancing (Basketball Prospectus/The Basketball Jones).  I hoping to post at the same level that I have been the past season (and if there is no NBA season, we will be following the EuroLeague and various international leagues), but for that to happen I need to turn to you, the readers.

My goal when I get out to Fort Wayne is not to have to pick up a part time job in addition to working with the Mad Ants and writing, however with the way things currently stand, I don’t know if that would be possible.  This is why I am accepting donations:

Like last time, the money will go to site fees and such, but in addition, this will allow me to continue to work on Playbook as much at the same rate that I have been (I have been working as close to full time on the site since the beginning) without having to take on a job that would mean less time to write and produce content for NBAPlaybook, something that I would hate to see happen.  Like last time, the donation box will be up in the upper right corner, and this will be the last time I bring it up in a post.  If you want to donate and help out, that’s fantastic.  If not, no pressure, I’m going to keep chugging along as much as I can.

Thanks for taking the time to read this guys, I feel like this site has some of the best readers/commenters around.  We’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.  Thanks again everyone!

What’s up everyone.  I am still sick, so no posts today, but we will be getting back into the swing of things for tomorrow.  Starting tomorrow we will go with a new schedule.  The Morning Shootaround will be there every morning, but after that, there will be one other post only.  It could either be some play breakdowns, a How’d He Do That, or just some general stuff I want to look at, but I will only be doing 2 posts a day from here on out.

Meanwhile, I wrote something for ESPN on my top 5 most improved players.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

Also, don’t forget if you have an idea for a post or anything like that, send it to me at sebastian@nbaplaybook.com.
