Keeping this short and sweet but here are my takes from FA Day 1 (going in order on the deals that mattered). No grades just gentle and respectful takes.
Lakers Sign PG Lonzo Ball for $36,750,000 over 2 years.
I figured someone was going to steal Lonzo, but I also didn't want him on a max, so I...
why not. As someone with no kids of my own and no nieces or nephews, I may be the least qualified to make these rankings - but I do think I'm probably up there in terms of number of people in the league I've met in person, so let's have some fun, shall we?
TL; DR: More free RP for a quick post! Prob wait til after FA to fill it out but up to you.
In addition to Team Awards, GMs can earn a quick and dirty 125RP by replying in this thread and filling out the below questionnaire - not required, but why not? Copy down the questions in a reply post and...
Every year, every GM's got his studs and it's duds, his craftiest moves and most embarrassing flops. For 75RPs, fill out the answers to the following questions and post it in the thread - think of these as your...
This is one of the most loaded free agency classes in SLN history. So let me reap that sweet sweet RP breaking it all down for everyone, as a capped out impartial GM in this offseason. There are a lot of teams begging for reasonable resigns… but there are a lot of teams with cap space. This could...
We haven't had a 5 for 5 in a very long time, and I love these type of things as they give us a platform to start a little discussion and hear from some voices we may not normally hear from.
Question 1.
What team are you most excited to watch this offseason and what do you think they will do?...
I went through the big names in this Free Agency class and provided my perspective on their worth. It's one of the best FA classes we have seen, but there are definite question marks with age and longevity GMs will have to parse through. Still feel like I left a few names off the lists that can be...
Hi guys! I did a smart person thing! Been thinking a bit about the greatest, or most impactful rookie seasons in league history and decided to come up with my own metric to measure.
Juice, short for Jordo’s Ultimate Impact Composite Evaluation evaluates the overall effectiveness and impact of SLN...
*** Note: I listed the teams in order on Friday and started filling in the blurbs before we saw any preseason or opening day sims. So these do not reflect the latest but I still think it will be fun to give me some grief. At the very least some teams will...
19 years into SLN something legendary happened at ESPN, noted Page 2 writer and occasional ESPN the Ocho host, Sill Bimmons, along with fellow ESPN the Ocho host, Pepper Brooks, pitched and developed a new series of documentaries and behind the scenes projects to honor the Sim League Nirvana. This...
I started writing this day 60 then got sidetracked then had a bunch of travels so did this in transit. Was initially going to insult all 29 teams in opposite fashion of Hoff, but leaving that one up to you Joe! Thanks to Hoff for the inspiration though, we need more content and in your knight in...
An idea i had at the beginning of the season was to track differentials throughout the season and analyze how teams find their form by playoffs and the changes in league averages as a whole.
Here are the key trends I've identified across the season:
It has been awhile since I opened up the house but we are running low on funds until I start my new job in August so I figured I'd try to take some money off the esteemed GMs of the league. (Just kidding, thought this is a fun way to keep the league...
As I sit here patiently for the draft lotto, I decided to do a deeper dive on the draft class so far. It's an exciting draft class (as always thanks to the Sim God). I would say there are 4 tiers for the draft profile players, and interestingly enough, there are no 19 year olds. Without further...
We've seen some amazing analytics posts - but the Swamp is returning to our roots with trade deadline literature. Below is evidence of how little I wanted to work today:
ATLANTIC
Boston Celtics
Hard cap no matter,
Jabari's dominant run
Fueling top sleeper.
In honor of Father’s day last weekend, and the amount in which we love to talk about our SLN sons, I decided to come up with another metric to determine who can really make this claim.
The DADDY metric ( D evelopment A nd D omination D riven b Y gm investment) is my own creation that goes beyond...
Atlantic Division:
Orlando Magic: Jamal Murray is having a Manu Ginobli esque season his first season truly starting at SG; best team in the league differential wise
Boston Celtics: Reed Sheppard is a superstar and a better Jeff McInnis; Jabari Parker having one of the best seasons of all time...
FROM THE SWAMP: Juandissimo Magnifico got toasted off that tub of tequila windshield fluid we found in the parking lot. Now, due to an accidental stroke of magic, culture is bending back into itself. In short, as Ashes' sim time outpaces our real time, our real culture is rewinding across sim time....

Inspired by this morning’s exchange on the groupchat. This hobby is so supremely ridiculous — and it has a collective of (relative) strangers sending me stuff like this. Order is random, unless you want to assign meaning to it, which could be kinda fun:
The 2026 season is upon us and we had another year of big TCs. Here’s this year’s edition of my analysis, with a new set of stat excluding Handles (given the impact of Handles movement can be such a mixed bag), and a deep dive on every rookie’s TC.

Free Agency CAN begin 24-hours after the end of the draft but will not start until everyone completes their bids. Send Free Agent Bids to Ashes by Tuesday, 7/8/25 at 6pm CT. Post in this thread when you do. If we get 29/29 of GMs to submit bids ahead of time, that's 200 in FREE CANDY for all of...
