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...

I still need RP and I'm on a high from watching Cory Joseph stand in the corner as an elite SF and PF led the Magic to a playoff win tonight! I thought what could be interesting analysis that hasn't been done in a while. After sorting through about 10 pages of articles I noticed we had a lot of...
I don't know why it's all caps, but I'm sticking to the trend. I need more RP, as we all do, and figured why not shine a spot light on some of SLN's forgotten players. I'll introduce Player A and Player B, you get to make up your mind who is better and/or guess who they are, then the spoiler tag...
Waiting on some things and figured I might as well capitalize on my time to get some RP and feed the Scoot/Edey train! I feel like everybody loves the draft because it is some form of black box randomness that gives us a semblance of control over these rosters. Lord knows how the TC Gods will treat...
Volume vs Efficiency Outliers by Position: 23-24 Season
The traditional thinking goes that you either want players who efficiently use a lot of possessions (and it’s okay if they’re not possession positive) or players who pet you a lot of possessions through rebounds, stocks, and not turning the...
Sources inform me we might be getting some draft content on these beautiful boards in the not-too-far future. Before that happens, I wanted to take a stab at what this SLN draft might look like, since I've spent an inordinate amount of time with these players and this is the only time in league...

On our return flight, so we are once again…bored on a plane. Today’s article will focus on day 1 of FA and other offseason movements.
1. FA Day 1
You wanted fireworks? You got em! Joel Embiid spurns a monster 140M offer from Hoff Cuban and the Mavs to head to in-state rival Houston at an AAV of...

Salary Concentration Refresh: Modern Era. Can you win with a ton of your hard cap tied up in a small number of players?
11 seasons ago, I did this analysis of salary concentration: (original post date: 4/18/24; note to graders, please use this as my first article and original content bonus!). The...
Sitting here on a rainy day thinking about how to make back the 1000 RP I spent yesterday to camp my players, and decided I am going to publish my actual board for the 2024 draft, purely because it would (hopefully) be interesting, be a good topic for debate, and maybe give some...
We've all been there. Well, some of us? If you are like me and you spend a lot of time sifting through NDL stats for fun (you don't), you've probably noticed that every so often we see an occasional semi-useful (or at least, strangely positive) NDL player with shitty ratings.
Good morning gents! We are at a casual 36,012 feet which means…..*drum roll* BORED ON A PLANE PART III: Return of the Bored or is Revenge of the Bored, perhaps Prisoner of Bored idk but it’s OffSzn Edition.
