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...
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...

As is tradition in Orlando, I bring you, Bored on a Plane. With today’s flight, I’ll take a look around the league making some general observations with perhaps a few spicy takes (not likely, we eat the most bland food in Orlando).
1 Milwaukee Bucks: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Needs: Everything
Analysis: None. Those are SGA's weaknesses. Something like that is the only way to leapfrog the Serbian prodigy Luka. This GM offered
his FRP last year for SGA and i think this was a homerun...
I Want Yuta Hear Dat BATES DIOP *dubstep sounds:* The 2018 Big Board
WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB BRAHHHHH WUB WUB WUB WUB
I don’t care what you say, I think that’s the best title yet. Extremely dank draft, and if you listened to the pod you know I’ve got no idea what I’m doing making these...
Hello friends! It has been a rough 18 hours for me. After visiting a friend on Portland, Maine for Labor Day Weekend, I trained back to Boston to play poker for a night before catching a 5:15 AM flight to NYC and then Ubering directly to Bethpage to try to walk onto the Black course. At least that...
Well, this project has taken me a long fucking time to update and finish (I started it last season and just never locked in to finalize it) but here's an updated Top 100 list with tiers. Tried to get this done before the playoffs so the rankings wouldn't be influenced by additional recency bias....
JWoo wants more content for the anniversary so I figured I'd steal his job. Welcome to Merv's Mocks! Since we only have a handful of profiles, some of this will be based on what I think of players. Fortunately, I don't have a lottery pick so I can be more honest. Also in the spirit of fun, I ran a...
20 Years of SLN: The Best and Worst Individual Seasons in History
Spurred by JWoo’s call for content, I wanted to apply the metrics I shared in my prior Possession Advantage and Efficiency article to the SLN history books. Maybe some names here - beyond the obvious ones like Dirk, Manu, and Diop,...
The Timberwolves are currently shooting 48.3% from the field, which is 0.4% higher than the 2000 Bucks 47.9% season record. They shoot only 16 3s per game (22nd in the league), so I was curious to see how the teamwide true shooting compared to the league.
I've been having a (text) conversation with Tong over the past few weeks where I suggest he changes his third scoring option to someone he actually wants to shoot. Tong is certain that his strategy is his best option, given that it worked out pretty well last year.
Franklin D. Roosevelt: “Here’s the thing about luck…you don’t know if it’s good or bad until you have some perspective.”
Welcome to todays briefing on NDL Potential Boost Luck. I have crunched the numbers (not sure if correctly or not) based on Sir Joe of Land Bostonia's post on the most recent...
I've always had a hard time evaluating the impact and value of high volume, high TO players. Tim Hardaway Jr is a great example this year - super efficient scorer but a pretty awful stock differential. Would a player with the same volume shooting 46% with neutral TO differential be better?
I'm much better at the data stuff than the writing stuff (although still bad at both), so here's a quick data pull of what how Linsanity compared to measly old Lin (the sane stats).
When Linsanity took place: Days 80-100
Number of Games: 13
Possession Advantage and Efficiency - 2016-2017 Season
As a follow up to yesterday’s Diversity Pod and a precursor to whenever we do the analytics pod, I wanted to share a deeper dive on some of the metrics that I look at to evaluate players. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not an “expert”...
Happy TC eve everyone! On this merriest of occasions, and as I'm being reintroduced to the workforce (and thereby eager for procrastination methods), I thought I'd take a look at all of the Owed Picks (first rounders only) and geta sense of which picks are most valuable, which are least valuable,...
Are you playing with a bunch of kindergartener or old man ball? i was looking through teams after TC and saw some pretty interesting teams that i thought others would be interested in. big thing i noticed is that the Hawks have an exceptionally balanced team in terms of age. and if you took out...
Light day at work after a long start to the week, so I’m scribin’ and scribblin’ on a Thursday. It was the mid-2000s last time I did this exercise. Many things have changed, like a Madlib beat or chameleon getting out of a codependent relationship. Many things have not, like Woo’s underwear. GOT...
For a second offseason, back by popular demand. Oh no, why would you set me up like that!
KEMBA YOU MISS HIM DON'T YOU
AD, WISH YOU COULD HIT HIM DON'T YOU
YOU SHOULD CALL ME DRAGON
I UNDERSTAND, I'M BACK BY SWAMPULAR DEMAND
THAT LOU WILL FLY
OUTSIDE OF SWAMPEYE'S EATING CHICKEN AND FRIES
YEAH...
