3. Do players decline in production after signing a new contract? Does signing with a new team alter production? 2010-2011 vs. 2011-2012 (after lockout) 2011-2012 vs. 2012-2013 Look at Statistics of all players signing a new contract between the two seasons THE BURNING QUESTIONS

4. 2-Sample T-Test Minutes per Game (MPG) Assists per Game (APG) Rebounds per Game (RPG) Points per Game (PPG) Player Efficiency Rating (PER) Krustkal-Wallis Test Minutes per Game (MPG) Assists per Game (APG) Rebounds per Game (RPG) Points per Game (PPG) Player Efficiency Rating (PER) IS RE-SIGNING A FACTOR?

13. CONCLUSIONS 2010-2011 VS. 2011- 2012 Re-signing was a factor for every statistics except for PER Not enough evidence for any statistic to say that there was a significant difference in production after signing a new contract 2011-2012 VS. 2012- 2013 There wasn’t sufficient evidence to conclude that there was a significant difference because of re- signing or not. Only RPG had enough sufficient evidence to conclude that there was a significant difference in production after signing a new contract
