As you can see I have been quite busy this week, but things are churning along I promise. I have a half day at work today (Labor Day…) but I’ll be dropping SLN and NDL sims and a whole slew of draft profiles (and some draft information for the drafts to come) this evening. But of course let’s get...
Tanking
1. No Inside Offense.
2. Nav Rule (You must sign appropriate players to fill positions on your DC)
3. Start your best players and maintain reasonable option choices. There is room for experimentation at my discretion. No...
A couple days ago the internet was obsessed with the silly gossip that Chris Paul wasn't traded to the Heat because he didn't want to change his number. Without player numbers, this reality TV nonsense cannot play out in SLN.
While we don't have player numbers in SLN, we do have player IDs. You...
Now that we are coming up on the end of the season and just ahead of the trade deadline, thought I would do a league wide regression correlation test on all team statistics FBB tracks and we have access to.
All correlation is to Win % as of sim 90 for the 2011 season:
Here is my first go at the 2012 Draft, not the best but I wonder if there are some hidden gems in here
Draft File:
Draft Notes:
1.New Jersey Nets – (7-40)
Other 2012 FRP(s): DEN, SEA, POR
Needs: Wings, Frontcourt
The Pick: Anthony “The Brow” Davis – PF/C – Kentucky
Analysis: Perennial sadness...
Some people love building depth, some people hate it entirely, but it's a very fun part of basketball both fake and real and we are gonna take a look around the league. I'm gonna do some DC diving and rank the benches of all the teams that are currently trying to make the playoffs (more or less),...
Spoiler, this has more than 5 trades because as Ashes and I learned this season, I can't count. I have to say, this is by far the most boring one of these I've done. It feels like the majority of the league is just sort of stuck in their positions and the sellers don't really have much crap to...
Sup guys, I finally have a little time to produce some content and I need to make some RP to camp all these jamokes so I'm back with the official 2012 mock draft. You may notice that I currently own three of the top 14 selections, you may infer that some of this will be complete bullshit, but who's...
THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST SLN “SPONSORED” MYTHOLOGICAL RACE WAR
Welcome to the dumbest shit youll see all day. The rules are simple and the idea is stupid. Each GM will need to select one of the below factions in the below chat. First come first serve, no take backs. I will then sort you into a...
Fellas! Welcome back to our annual SLN Season in Review (after a one season hiatus!). Here, we'll cover advanced team stats like Net Rating, TS%, Morey Rate, and more.
Enjoy!!! - NAV
Possessions per Game = FGAPG + TOPG + 0.44(FTAPG)
eFG% - considers that 3's are worth more than 2's
TS% - this...
Pretty impossible to follow Kipke’s food article, but I’ve got a few minutes free and a lot of hungry mouths to camp on my roster, so let’s do some grades. And let's do 'em in Georgia font so the bold stands out more!
2011 182 Suns Sign SF Jamario Moon for $20,400,000 over 2...
This internal document was leaked from the desk of Raptors president JWoo just days after the controversial Valentine's Day massacre decision to trade away the team's three most beloved players: franchise icon Kevin Garnett, superstar scorer Lou Williams, and stalwart point guard Devin Harris. The...
Ever wondered how everyone actually did at drafting? During the 2011 draft, I spent a lot of time going back through to see how many good players went after 10-15 and came up with the idea to do some re-drafts of old drafts. In particular, I did 2006–08 because those were the first seasons after I...
Nets ownership works at Fandango/Rotten Tomatoes during the day, and subsequently missed the 4/5 free agency bid deadline. James Johnson is out $12.5 million from a good faith agreement, but this is decidedly not the first time Steven Nu Jerzey Twork Marks-Prokhorov has owed eight figures to a man...
Rushing these out because Ashes is about to sim and it's not the same if we see boxes first lol. Sorry if I overlooked anything important. It's a hard year to rank with a giant middle tier of teams!
29. New Jersey Nets
The Nets are the worst. Manifesting a good lotto result for Steven at long...
Who wants a lame old grade when your value can be viewed through the beautiful prism of FOOD. I will be comparing each FA Day 1 contract to some meal/food item. It may be from a restaurant we all now. It might be a delivered version of an item. It could be a homemade recipe! I think we can all...
Sorry I'm late fellas - got an extra day or two to fill this one out this year. 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...

As of this writing, the New Jersey Nets are 21-52. For a franchise that has averaged 41.7 wins per season since the SLN’s inception, this marks a first outright tanking effort. Ownership called SwampMedia wire...
Are the Xs algebraic placeholders that he crassly forgot to remove? Are they the Roman numerals for 30? Is this going to be pornographic? Let’s find out together after the jump.

They ask me what I do and who I do it for (NBA and Draft analysis; ESPN via The Walt Disney Company). And how I come up with this sim up on the Boards that's Pro. All I want for my birthdaaaaaaaaaay is a big booty center; all I'm yellin on WOODAY is its Raptors forever.
With labor relations at an all time low and SLN games being postponed, we survey the league and take temperatures across franchises. So spread those butts, because it’s a butt thermometer.

Multiple sources confirmed that Jeremy Woo's 6/23 appearance on ESPN's The Lowe Post program was significantly edited. Below is a partial transcript of the REAL conversation between Woo, Zach Lowe and Kirk Goldsberry. The author of this post does not know why such edits were applied to the final...
We began our SLN careers here. We started our families and moved our side families here. We practiced hard as we could every single day here, and DeSagana practiced law here as part of the ill-fated Basketball Court adjunct program at Rutgers. Now, we’re facing off in round two of the playoffs....
Are the Heat or Celtics the best team? Will Michael Finley and the Magic catch fire, a new STI endemic to Osceola County? Atlantic City’s drunkest tweenages and I recap opening week and ask one question about every team, plus a few questions about how to win Samanthica back before my grandnephew’s...
