BBIPM (unreleased), “LazyLEBRON” and LEBRON win estimates from BBall Index.

They have a projection for various Harden scenarios, but I think the Harden plays for PHI case should be the one used in the contest.

Since you're rounding up the entrants now I thought I would just double check that my changes since originally posting my numbers have found their way to your spreadsheet.
