I have read a few negative things but here is my take: Let’s wipe the slate clean and not worry about anything that has happened in the PAST. Let’s welcome her to the Fever with open arms, give her a chance to show us what she can do, and ONLY then start making judgments! We want the group to get along cohesively so they play together in top form. So welcome back to Indiana Natasha!
If White wants her, it's a good trade.. The Fever's Culture is a reality and She will be a good mentor for the young girls.. It's time for Grace to grow up and play more .. I like this new team.. Add Janelle Salaün and it will be the must.. Smith must go.. She isn't a Fever's girl, but the Fever's problem..
This is such great news. Defense is important. I love that Howard played under Stephanie White in 2015 and went to the finals. Now she’s back. This is really cool for old school Fever fans. Grace Berger is probably very excited being an Indiana native. This is a great signing for Indiana.
I LOVE NATASHA'S HELP D! I LOVE HER RECOVERY! I LOVE HER TIMING! I LOVE HER FINISHING! 17, 7, 3, 1, 1. Now can she still jump, her blocks are down from her prime. Now can she pass in rythym to Clark ball movement? Will she step up when the mean girls try to step on CC? All we need now is to trade - Nalyssa No D Smith, Katie Losing Her Shot Samuelson & Kelsey Efficiency Destroyer Mitchell for some more defensive stoppers who can run and finish.
Howard & Boston can get us rebounds which we sorely lacked last season. They can also clean up missed shots and make layups. We have three outside gunners and also Berger and Dantas off the bench. Smith out, another back up center or forward will top it off.
Indiana front office is showing a desire to have quality and loyal team members for their free agent selection. Now let’s go get Kate Martin. Bow bow bow. No choice, Dantas should stay.
The only bad thing about this signing is she is going to be 34 years old in September. So she probably has two years and if you're very very lucky a third year left to play... that means they have to win now with her
I'm fine with Natasha if she can run quick and actually jump higher than the average woman. Fever needs boards. Bye Smith, no more drama please. Yes keep Dantas.
I think this is a great fit. I also hope Smith gets moved to the Suns, especially since Smith got an attitude for being benched at the end of last season for being a freethrow liability (and other issues), then the no-show against her girlfriend and the Suns in the playoffs, and the last straw the video after the season mocking CC geting her eye poked! I'd settle for trading Smith to the Suns for a couple of bottles of champagne and a box of chocolates the team can share once Smith is gone!!
Dantas is looking good and will get better and she's def a sniper at the 3. I love her tip pass, saw her doing that for Team Brazil. She will need to back up Boston. Where's Wheeler going?
Keeping Wheeler because she would be good as a cheerleader while earning max player salary, really? In subtraction, she can't be a coach when 1: there are no openings and 2. she will need to apply and get the coaching job. She wears Fever uniform because she's expected to contribute, she cannot be just the highest paid cheerleader in the history of the WNBA! Right now Wheeler is occupying a slot that can be given to a player that can contribute, expect Wheeler not to play for the Fever moving forward, wouldn't surprise me if mngt is already in talks with Wheeler as to how best to exit her from the Fever.
Now, let's send Nalyssa and Katie Lou to Golden State and bring in Kate Martin. Throw in a pick too, if necessary. Then see if anybody can outrun the Fever in 2025.
They signed Mitchell thank the Lord . I was worried and heard she might go. N Smith will be posting on Social Media all kinds of crap. Benny was always hurt , she didn't play much . I don't see much of a loss.
Great ... But, who is going to be CC's and KM's back ups? .... All amazing new players but I feel like we have to many interchangeable player styles/position: LH, SC, RH and now DB? ...
I wish they would trade Nalyssa and Katie Lou for Kate Martin. Kate can shoot 3s, make free throws, play great defense, and will always give 110% to any team she plays for.
Good acquisition...got enough 3 point shooters. Need a semi-big that can finish around the rim and hit some middies. Defense is definitely needed; and the veteran experience. She will get plenty of looks with all the attention CC and Mitchell will get.
Watching Boston; she has some nice spin moves but no touch around the rim. Just throws it up at the basket hoping it will go in. Needs to work on her touch and use the board more.
Here's the thing they just improved defense and improved quick offense. Remember they now have a year together and improved soo much after the break. They did this a TERRIBLE coach and made the playoffs. With good coaching and player improvement they should finish at the TOP! Bye, Bye, Smith.
This isnt a Smith replacement. Indiana didnt have a big and Smith was useless at the 4. Need one more running big from Europe to keep one big in the floor and two on the floor at the end of clutch games if needed. Chance to go small or big depending on the situation. Indiana was one dimensional last year.
Welcome Natasha Howard!!! Also I believe Nalyssa Smith will improve on defense under the Fever's new coach! She is young and cares about the players on this team.
Get NaLyssa Smith
“OUT of HERE”!
Nalyssa an first round pick for marina mabry announced
@@kiddo2163 Not Even Close, but thanks For Playing.
We have some Nice Parting Gifts For You At The Rear Exit, & Cookies Too
On another note, I’d rather watch CC working out than to watch Unrivaled.
Exactly
Plenty more buckets lol
You and millions of others
Caitlin can easily upload a video of herself taking a nap, and I'll bet more people would watch that over unrivaled. 😅
Caitlin playing checkers would draw millions, including me.
Just what we need. A BIG that can do everything plus protect CC's flank. Gotta love it.
In Kelly we trust
Fever now have Bash Sisters AND Splash Sisters. #PaintAintSafe #BOWBOWBOW!!
CC & Kelsey protected by AB & Howard!
I like that. Good one
Now all we got to do is send nAlyssa Smith to Connecticut so the sun can have their scissor sisters
We got Bow Bow Bow
and Pow Pow Pow
Trade Nalyssa Smith. Period.
I have read a few negative things but here is my take: Let’s wipe the slate clean and not worry about anything that has happened in the PAST. Let’s welcome her to the Fever with open arms, give her a chance to show us what she can do, and ONLY then start making judgments! We want the group to get along cohesively so they play together in top form. So welcome back to Indiana Natasha!
❤Amen 💯
Well said .
Goodbye “Sack A Potatoes” 😂
In Kelly we trust. No more nonsense.
Ben, your show is the only one I am watching for this news!!!!
As long as he doesn't obsess about Carter she just makes me cringe
Natasha Howard welcome to the Fever! Mitchell is back haters punching air baby! 🤣👏👏👏
They are so mad! They convinced themselves Mitchell was gone and nobody wanted to play with Caitlin. Such delusional people.
@JohnSmith-t7r1c Yup! 🤣
'Bout time you discuss this lol
I've been waiting for your report!!
same
It is not official until I hear it from you, my favorite sports news source.
that is exactly my thoughts ... so much click bait out there ... I wait to hear it from you Ben, then I know it's true.
BUH BYE NALYSSA !! They can't get rid of her fast enough.. hopefully its soon!!
Great run and gun player for the fever!
Just what we needed.
I can't wait for the 3rd and 4th quarters when the opponents tongues are dragging.
A'Ja Wilson PANICS & Gives FREE TICKETS To Jersey Retirement While Caitlin Clark Is SOLD OUT!
Stephanie and Howard know each other, both Fever Girls,,,
We don’t need a bad attitude on our team mocking Caitlin and not performing when her girl friend is playing against us.
Thanks! Late my but I've been waiting for your take
Enforcement has arrived
Lets Hope So, CC is gonna need Someone Watching Her Back
Enforcers lay the law down
Smith to Ct, Bonner to Phx, Cunningham to Fever. win-win-win
Id love Cunningham on the fever
If White wants her, it's a good trade.. The Fever's Culture is a reality and She will be a good mentor for the young girls.. It's time for Grace to grow up and play more ..
I like this new team..
Add Janelle Salaün and it will be the must..
Smith must go.. She isn't a Fever's girl, but the Fever's problem..
BREAKING NEWS per The W360: SMITH is going to Mercs with 8th pick and Indiana gets Sophie Cunningham and a 2nd round
❤❤❤❤ … congratulations Indiana Fever!!!
Excellent!
This is such great news!! Looks like we got a solid vet who can also be an enforcer! Welcome back to the Fever fam Natasha!!
I didn’t know about this thanks for showing this
But Ben, without Nalyssa how do we keep those games against Reese interesting and competitive ???
LOL!!!😂😂
GET NALYYSSAAAA SMITH OFF MY TEAMMMM DAMMIT !!!!💯💯💯
This is such great news. Defense is important.
I love that Howard played under Stephanie White in 2015 and went to the finals. Now she’s back. This is really cool for old school Fever fans. Grace Berger is probably very excited being an Indiana native. This is a great signing for Indiana.
She looks exactly like what we want. As big as them shoulders are and got skill to protect Caitlin.Welcome to the family Natasha.
All the haters are triggered, bashing Mitchell and Howard. Sucks to be them. Fever look ready to compete for titles to me.
On what xhannel are they bathing them? I wanna see how mad the haters are. 😂
Get a Euro-based player too to strive for global outreach steadily too
Huh? WTF does that have to do with anything related to winning basketball games?
@@alanherrett7602 whats wrong with scouting European players? you think they are not as talented as the players in the States?
Another good day in the Fever world!
I don't remember Natasha Howard exactly, but I kinda remember the stat sheet and highlights , she was decent
Better than Smith for sure
Smith must be traded, nothing else makes sense.
I hope Howard becomes the enforcer in addition to her skills on the court. NaLyssa byyyyyyyye! Time for Berger to shine too.
Bye bye sack O' potatoes 🥔
It’s never too late to celebrate!!🤙
Welcome to the Land of Bow. Now let's stack some dubs. Stack'em up!
Exciting!!!
BOW BOW BOW
Love your show, Ben! You’re going places!!🌟
FAMILY first, let's go Fever! Glad to see your podcast back online BD!
I LOVE NATASHA'S HELP D! I LOVE HER RECOVERY! I LOVE HER TIMING! I LOVE HER FINISHING! 17, 7, 3, 1, 1. Now can she still jump, her blocks are down from her prime.

Dante always!!!
Howard & Boston can get us rebounds which we sorely lacked last season. They can also clean up missed shots and make layups. We have three outside gunners and also Berger and Dantas off the bench. Smith out, another back up center or forward will top it off.
Smith to Dallas! 🙌
Indiana front office is showing a desire to have quality and loyal team members for their free agent selection. Now let’s go get Kate Martin. Bow bow bow. No choice, Dantas should stay.
Nice.
The only bad thing about this signing is she is going to be 34 years old in September. So she probably has two years and if you're very very lucky a third year left to play... that means they have to win now with her
AND Dantis is a better teammate, has a better attitude, and brings way less drama than you-know-who.
This is AWESOME news! GAAD this season is going to be killer! My only question is... What the hell is BOW BOW BOW?
She has a better shot form than smith by a light year.
I'm fine with Natasha if she can run quick and actually jump higher than the average woman. Fever needs boards. Bye Smith, no more drama please. Yes keep Dantas.
Wouldnt surprise me if the fever brought Celeste Taylor back into the fold. According Sides she wasnt any good, she was only DPOY in the Big Ten.
Trade Smith for Bonner. Smith can go play with Dijonae.
I expect Bonner to end up in Phoenix with her girlfriend Thomas!
WOW 😲 beautiful
In Kelly we trust 🎉🎉🎉
I think this is a great fit. I also hope Smith gets moved to the Suns, especially since Smith got an attitude for being benched at the end of last season for being a freethrow liability (and other issues), then the no-show against her girlfriend and the Suns in the playoffs, and the last straw the video after the season mocking CC geting her eye poked! I'd settle for trading Smith to the Suns for a couple of bottles of champagne and a box of chocolates the team can share once Smith is gone!!
Dantas is looking good and will get better and she's def a sniper at the 3.
I love her tip pass, saw her doing that for Team Brazil. She will need to back up Boston.
Where's Wheeler going?
I'm betting on Atl, but that's just a guess
I hope she stays! She is a great positive influence for the team… even in a coaching slot!
Keeping Wheeler because she would be good as a cheerleader while earning max player salary, really? In subtraction, she can't be a coach when 1: there are no openings and 2. she will need to apply and get the coaching job. She wears Fever uniform because she's expected to contribute, she cannot be just the highest paid cheerleader in the history of the WNBA!

Good News 💯✔️
Haven't Heard About Sophie Cunningham Joining The Fever, I Guess?
Thats the first tip in I’ve ever seen in the Dub
Ben...you really need to start talking about Maddy Westbeld getting drafted by the Fever...we NEED her!!!
Dantas is a better team player that will coordinate on the floor and communicate positions as well.
Dijonai has been talking to the Sky.
Had a Grampa Simpson yelling at the sky vision there for a second. Thanks for that. 😂
@@SockAccount2024 good for her
Fever still need a deep bench to get into semi's
She is gone!!
Title 9 may see the end of "Bob" Griner.
And for the record, if Smith stays she should be last pick for the bench.
@@tonyedwards3938 She should be assigned to getting towels for the players when they come off the floor.
They signed Mitchell thank the Lord . I was worried and heard she might go. N Smith will be posting on Social Media all kinds of crap. Benny was always hurt , she didn't play much . I don't see much of a loss.
Why won't they just unload Nalyssa. I just don't understand.
Natasha Smith must be traded
Bye Fe-lyssa 😉
Good stuff indeed. I get my news from you and rely on it being trustworthy over other wannabes out there lol. Satou out of mix now? Thank you !
Nah, Smith want be moved..
i need to check the latest Vegas odds on the Fever winning the Championship.
Nice!
Not even close … a championship!!!
Great ... But, who is going to be CC's and KM's back ups? .... All amazing new players but I feel like we have to many interchangeable player styles/position: LH, SC, RH and now DB? ...
It is still NOT OFFICIAL til it is from the Fever.
Don't think they can sign until tomorrow.
N Smith off the bench is fine
I wish they would trade Nalyssa and Katie Lou for Kate Martin. Kate can shoot 3s, make free throws, play great defense, and will always give 110% to any team she plays for.
And Kate knows how to work with Caitlin.
Bonner is a toughie, maybe send Smith with a draft pick. We are young enough to skip a draft and still dominate.
What you talkin about Willis???
?#5
Boston is the Road Runner...
CC22 Long Distance Receiver...
Good acquisition...got enough 3 point shooters. Need a semi-big that can finish around the rim and hit some middies. Defense is definitely needed; and the veteran experience. She will get plenty of looks with all the attention CC and Mitchell will get.
howard can hoooooop🎉🎉🎉
Keep DD
Hull???
Still on the team
Watching Boston; she has some nice spin moves but no touch around the rim. Just throws it up at the basket hoping it will go in. Needs to work on her touch and use the board more.
She's still better than Angel Reese by a longshot.
There was a rumor Chicago wanted to trade the third pick. What about a package of Smith and the 8th pick? Would you guys be interested in that?
Over half the roster was drafted by the Fever.
Here's the thing they just improved defense and improved quick offense. Remember they now have a year together and improved soo much after the break. They did this a TERRIBLE coach and made the playoffs. With good coaching and player improvement they should finish at the TOP! Bye, Bye, Smith.
That trade would have to be for a Picks, I don't want an over bloated contract for a Bench player
This isnt a Smith replacement. Indiana didnt have a big and Smith was useless at the 4. Need one more running big from Europe to keep one big in the floor and two on the floor at the end of clutch games if needed. Chance to go small or big depending on the situation. Indiana was one dimensional last year.
Ben do u think that if the fever were to package there second,third,and Smith we could get a lower First Round pick???😊
Welcome Natasha Howard!!! Also I believe Nalyssa Smith will improve on defense under the Fever's new coach! She is young and cares about the players on this team.
Couldn’t tell you were tardy. 🎉😂Who else would we watch? 😂😂❤️
