Bigs
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...
With the draft lotto approaching fast, took a deeper look at the landscape of lottery teams and their various rebuilds to better understand what's at stake.
I realize we don't know who's in the draft yet so hard to analyze team fits (maybe will do a mock draft later because I need RP) but this is...
SLN KEYS TO THE SERIES, presented by Toyota
...and head to head stats
The playoffs are upon us! I did pull of the head to head regularly season statistics of each of these teams to figure out who the most pivotal figures are on each roster for this first round series. I’ve also included the...
Good evening, and what an absolute season we are having. The pace has been fierce, but the competition has been even fiercer somehow. The Hawks are killing everyone but there are some really fun playoff races that’ll come down to the wire, both to get into the dance and general seeding purposes....
Interview conducted using AI. The Iverson Company is deep in the red, you can kinda get him on any freelance assignment right now. Thomas Malthus is my bitch, for real.
Amidst the Joel Embiid and Myles Turner of it all, did you know that NDL legend Luke Kornet was averaging 2.8 stocks and shooting 41% from three? I sure didn’t. This is a high-end role player that was lurking in the shadows forever and is now...
Hey everyone — with the implementation of the new lotto odds coming this season, I’m here with a new explainer so that everyone has clear information on what to expect moving forward. Trying to make this easily digestible, please flag any questions in the comments. Wanted to write a much more...
Unsung hero's from each team! We’ll take a look at which guys aren’t getting as much praise on the boards, but still helping teams win games (even if they don’t want it). Going straight down the current playoff standings.
Hawks
Sung heros: KD, Tyreke, DJ
Unsung: Gary Payton II
After LeBron...
Hi everyone! My name is Jérémie Woo, a Frenchman stalking a young prospect named Victor Wembanyama. For my side hustle, I work with Sim Illustrated doing mock drafts. You may know of Paul Givony with ESPN, I hope to work with him someday and hope this 2022 Sim League Nirvana Lotto Mock with my...
Derek recently made a comment saying that it isn't a Jwoo trade if there isn't a 2RP going his way . We've all (well, not me, because we've never done a trade, but w/e i'm projecting) been close to a deal with Jwoo and seen him send that last ditch effort to squeeze maximum value out of you: throw...
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....
As previously described in my making SLN great again article, an ESPYs style format of the GMOTY award could be pretty cool/fun and involve everyone rather than the playoff teams/top 8 teams/ hwoever the hell it changes year in and year out. I spent some time thinking of different awards then...
Welcome back to The Kyrie Playoff Chronicles, where we dive headfirst into the enigma that is Kyrie Irving’s postseason performances. This time, we’re looking at game-by-game stats in the traditional sense, leaving no highlight or disappointment unexplored. Kyrie is a walking contradiction:...
I am chronically online waiting for TC so I figured I'd kill some time. Now that a lot of these trades have been completed, we have the benefit of hindsight for these FA deals...there are a ton of these across all three sims so I will do my best to be brief! For Day...
Last year was an embarrassment so I put in some real effort for the nerds. I think most of the position switch guys are in their correct places. So as a bit of a cheat sheet going into free agency...we present True Shooting Percentages with additional data for context.
Greetings fellas, I have returned from a trip to the old boards and found the transcript of my 24 predictions for 2024. Will there be 25 for 2025? Stay tuned. But I thought it would be entertaining to revisit these takes in article form and give myself some line notes.
Obviously one of the most interesting changes with the BBB era (of many) was removing the hard cap, previously a significant restriction in team construction and trading. I wanted to take a look at whether doing so helped teams who were competing, tanking, or both by enabling...

Will listen to offers for No. 3 — particularly if it's an immediate move for a stud that makes sense with my group. I now have Tyler Herro's contract and some movable expirings, so have some flexibility to construct a deal.
While you're here I also have the 16th pick (WAS FRP) that I'm open to...
