I'm trying to get a feel for the way player evaluation is starting to change. The NBA has been transitioning toward advanced stats metrics, and I find it really interesting. I know there are some really smart guys on this board who know their way around this stuff. Any tips for a curious observer?
I'm also interested in trying to figure out the financial side of franchise management, but I figure I'll take one step at a time.

82games.com is a great source for actual stats. Click on a team name on the left of the site. It's amazing how in depth they go.
If your trying to actually understand the stats and what they all mean basketball-reference.com has a glossary that I find helpful. They also have a historical database of advanced stats.

BSS has a great introduction to advanced stats series. I would start there, if you haven't already, for the basics and explanationsbn of the numbers.
B-R, 82Games, and Wages of Wins, as mentioned above, are all great sites. HoopData is another one to check out.
The NBA.com stats page is also a winner. Its probably the most comprehensive of all the sites and the layout is easy to use.

Didn't y'all do some Advanced Stats Primer post on BSS or PR at the beginning of last season?

Watch out though . . . it's designed to only predict over 60 wins.
Handle with care.

So it's not for Rockets fans.

Just read the Advanced Stats primer on BSS. Really well done series of articles. 
I understand this a lot better already.
I'd thumbed through a few pages from Arturo Galletti's Wordpress site when I made the thread. I think I'm gonna go check out Wages of Wins next. Thanks for the advice fellas

Honestly, wikipedia is a good start. They usually list the formulas and the rationale behind them.
