Abraham Joum Maker Bol - Good shooting stretch big. Solid shot-blocker with good post defense. Slightly above average rebounder. Handles are so-so. Needs to hit the weights.
Sam Funches - Decent scorer inside and outside. Might get close to a steal and block a game. Serviceable post...
In desperate need of RP and thought to put some historian powers to good use by finally writing this type of article after teasing it a few times seasons ago. I am going to go thru the stacked 2023 retiring class and rank and tier all 22 retirees from worst to best. Let’s get this ride started....
Greetings friends — at long last I've found a pocket of time to make some content this week.
Going to dive into my favorite thing — the draft. Not going to grade picks because I think draft grades are stupid. But this was a cool draft and it's fun to dig in a little more on these players! Here's...
So you’ve decided it’s time to trade your star…let’s sit down and have a chat about it. I went back and looked at some major blockbusters and how they’ve aged so you don’t have to. In order to give things appropriate time to develop, the first season trades will be looked at from were from the end...
Hey everyone - super quick article comin at ya after I spent some time at my job working poring over the team statistics page. Tried to pull out some numbers that I thought were interesting, along with some storylines from this season (don't worry, no Bulls talk in this one).
Greg Oden has had an illustrious career. He was selected #2 in the 2007 draft by Avu, Former GM of the Detroit Pistons. He was packed with potential, got up to A- inside, A- defense and A rebounding. In his 10-year prime, Oden was consistently atop the...
We already podded about this, but I decided to smush together the preseason stats , along with the win projections of those of you kind enough to get them in already, to build a simple rating system and win projections for this season. If you disagree with these rankings, that's totally fine, I do...
Currently stuck on plane to Jackson Hole with a broken TV in my seat, so figured I’d farm a little RP instead of rawdogging a 4 hour flight staring at the back of the seat in front of me (props to anyone who has successfully done this). Also, for all those...
For some reason I originally posted this in completed trades lol, my bad
The trade deadline is upon us and I'm bored in Texas and our pipes froze over, so I cooked up some food for thought in the form of fake trades, everyone's favorite. If any of these deals get done I should get an 100 RP...
Another installment of the much tolerated “Bored on a mode of transportation”. Aren’t we all so lucky! Today, I’ll just do a quick bounce around the league with some thoughts and categories. Perhaps a who he play fo
1. Los Bulls
The Bulls are en fuego. Off to the best start in SLN history at 21-0,...
Hello friends. As we embark on the weekend of the Superb Owl, I figured I’d fly around the league and take a look at which players are worth a hoot and come away with some wise takeaways. More specifically, I’m gonna pick a “player to watch” from each team, give their preseason 2 stats, and opine...
I know this has been something that’s been discussed a bunch but never actually done. So rather than fighting about content grading I figured why not bring some joy with my own original* awards show!!
*Manty developed a lot of the categories and Jordo CLAIMS it’s his idea,...
This was one of the most exciting offseasons in a long time. After a few lull seasons of very little trading and movement, SLN is finally back to the madness and disorder! In this piece, I am going to recap the 2022 offseason starting with the draft, FA, then trades around the league. Hope everyone...
After finishing up an insane work week, I figured there was no better way to unwind than with a Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon. During the opening scene I thought to myself, goddamn, Sauron would be completely out of pocket in SLN. He’s...
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...
TL; DR: More free RP for a quick post! Prob wait til after FA to fill it out.
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 fill 'em out....
Consider this a spiritual cousin article to my other more informative primer for this year's lottery.
As I was writing that one I thought it would be fun to run the lotto a bunch of times and just collect some data to give people some type of false hope idea about how things could go with the new...
It's late but I'm wired, I need RP, and I am coming through with some analysis for whoever wakes up with utter surprise on their faces after a very spicy Day 1 of free agency. We are gonna focus on the big signings and their implications because I am not quite the level of degenerate to spend time...

Okay, for everyone that is new to this, it's pretty straightforward. Go to your roster using the above link and you'll see the new salaries for players that have offered to re-sign (compare it to your normal roster page). This is a take it or leave it situation with FBB. Some players offer to...
Strengths: Gets to the rim with ease. Loves to throw himself into the fray with reckless abandon. Solid jump shot. Decent vision and handles. Might get a steal. Good quickness.
Weaknesses: Range needs work. Perimeter defense is shaky. Not a good rebounder. Weak.
