I'm thinking Sides mishandling and poor coaching style may have helped affect Clark's 3p%. You can't mess with your players confidence, you can't blame players publicly for losses, good coaches take the heat, not blame their players in the press.

This is ridiculous speculation. The only thing that needs to come out of this is that Sides needs to be shown the door immediately and CC needs to get a pay raise.
Boston should not go. It's taken her half a year to adjust to CC. Boston was used to playing on the blocks. CC prefers to play between the logo and tge top of the key. As a result, Boston had been used to play pick and role ball out of position. Her game has suffered.

Aprreciate the topic & commentary. Caitlin will not be leaving Indiana. Heres why, There are recent posts on Twitter and other social media that Fever GM Linn Dunn Is well aware of the situation and the Coaching problem of Chritie Sides, Dunn Has commented and shared much about removing Coach Sides With a replacement, and Says that she has heard alot of complaints , emails , flooded with calls and feedback and is now in the process of doing everything she can to accommodate the Team, Replacing Coach Sides , Accomodating All of the Players, their Grievances, contracts, & fixing all of the problems . This is the first time I have heard the GM of the Indiana Fever come forward and say any of this but it’s all over social media and Indiana News agencies if anyone wants to find it.
I'm not sure Caitlin would fancy entering the dragons den at another team? Who would choose to be around nadty, jealous, toxic, vindictive, selfish, and narcissistic players, day in, day out? It's not like she needs the money? Or the attention? She certainly doesn't need the exposure? Personally, i don't see it happening! It's far more likely the Fever ditch Kristy Sides? It's not like they're going to risk losing Caitlin, over sticking with a terrible coach like Sides?
Hopefully, you are right. The Fever have the nucleus of a good team. They need an Excellent coach, a good GM and coaches who know how to develop the talent that is on the team. I sure hope the owner Herb Simon wakes up and does something before the end of July.
This is absolutely stupid just because the owner of mercury posted a all star picture of Catlin that doesn’t mean they are recruiting her she’s under contract with the fever and plus she wouldn’t leave Aliyah Boston it’s the fans spreading that rumor
The owner of the Mercury openly said that he wanted Clark and flexing their new $100M practice facility. Sophie Cunningham jokingly saying "Come play with us", Natasha Cloud praising her game. If that's not a hint, I don't know what is.
@@frkzoid that was before the draft every team wanted her and the mercury players were joking patric mahomes gets joked around like that all the time he would never leave Kansas City and plus Catlin Clark has said on multiple occasions that Indianapolis is where she wants to be fans are just being stupid clearly fans can’t take a joke
I can’t believe #JTL is running with narratives and LIES.. Caitlin Clark is under a 3 or 4 year old contract with Indiana Fever and can’t opt out yet!! JTL & CC fans really think WNBA is like college.. you can all of sudden transfer to another team! He should delete this video because ESPN and sports media would’ve broke the news by now..
I am in Phoenix having her here would be awesome. But I will not go to a game while me griner is on the team get rid of him and Taurus I and then going to the mercury would be cool
As to who stays and who goes, I am sure that the owner can do the math, and I rather doubt that it will be Clark - unless she wants to go. There is this fable about a goose that lays eggs made of gold, this goose lays dollar bills and here is what Clark has been laying in 2024 185,878 at $140 a seat for 11 games, 2023 81,336 at $60 a seat over 20 games - Clark At $140 a seat put 104,542 more people in the seats in 9 fewer games - and in those last 9 games there could be another 152,082 tickets at $140 a seat or 256,164 more tickets in 2024 or $35,862,960 more at just the gate - and because their costs were fixed at $60 a ticket, this is going directly into their pocket. Before Clark, the team WAS valued at $90 million - as of now, the case can be made that it's worth more.
If Caitlin Clark wasn't VERY good I would not be watching the W(WE)NBA. The NBA tried to give us Jimmer Fredette several years back but he wasn't good in the NBA. They tried to give us "Baby Jordan", Harold Miner, years ago but that didn't pan out. Caitlin Clark is the real deal and is even making the league better because the rest of the league is even adding some "hot sauce" by upping their game. They see how much people are now paying attention to the W(WE)NBA so they're really trying to shine even more. I'm glad that Reese is playing well and that her team is doing well so that we can have a TRUE Magic/Bird rivalry. I thought Magic should've won Rookie of the Year back then. Caitlin should be the runaway Rookie of the Year in the WNBA in 2024.
There isn't a team able to go give up enough players and picks or combo of both to make a trade for Caitlin Clark. Monetarily the Fever would lose more than they could gain in a decade from doing this. For example the Knicks just made a trade for Bridges and have up 5 first round picks a second round pick and a player. Monetarily this trade don't make sense for the Fever and there isn't a team that is can give up that much.
Highly doubt that Caitlin Clark is going to even try to relocate to any other team . And doubt that Fever is going to do anything to lose its #1 Rookie. J M O & T
@@shaemcquoid511 yeah, and if the Mercury recruited Caitlin to play for them, Ishbia could offer Caitlin's boyfriend a comparable job with the Sun if that's what it would take to get her. Employers do that all the time - when they want to hire a certain person, they'll figure out how to arrange suitable employment for their partner. I've seen it happen many times over the years with couples I know.
When an expansion draft happens. A team is allowed to protect a certain amount of players. CC isn’t going anywhere nor are the starters. It’s the one or two players that never play left unprotected.
That is probably only rumors. If the Fever wants to keep Caitlin , they will have get rid of Christie Sides and build a team around her. Her haters targets her about turnovers. She did not have any at the All Star game. She was surrounded with players from other teams, who did not have any problems catching her passes and finishing the points. That says a whole lot.
If anything happens, I think it will be that the CBA will ratify the pay scale, and it will just go into effect, and players will get the new scale and will not be free agents.
There’s no way in HELL that Indianapolis will allow CC to go to another team! Their TV viewership would dry up and disappear w/o Clark! That would be analogous to the Boston Red Sox trading Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees!!! DO YOU READ ME?????
... I don't think she will trade... the fans LOVE HER & HAVE SHOWN LOYALTY... but I would understand. I feel like the struggle to elevate this team has grown her skills!
No way! I would rather see Caitlin stay with the Fever and watch the team grow. They would be unbeatable! Cristy Sides needs to go, not Caitlin. I do not want to see Caitlin and Angel on the same team either. Angel cannot touch Caitlin's style of ball!
The TV deal is a minimum $2.6B but there is a chance to renegotiate for more if the WNBA continues to grow in size and support for more than just the Fever
There is talk that they’re losing money this year despite CC & Cheryl Miller of all people is complaining.If this was a regular business they’d be shut down years ago.There are only 3-4 teams that actually fill the seats that’s not good.One step at a time!
@@ledbrave4042Clark & Nike need to give the Fever ownership an ultimatum: Either they fire Sides & Dunn, & bring in people to win championships, or Caitlin will leave. Do it NOW. DO NOT WAIT. SIDES & DUNN MUST GO!! NO EXCEPTIONS.
@@JaniceOShea If she leaves I am sure a new coaching job is in the mix for her boyfriend. Clark and her boyfriend have a ton a great people behind her to make a great career move. Clearly the Fever has a terrible GM and Coach. If she stays Sides and Dunn are fired.
Stop the click bait bro. Indiana owner is not letting her go. Plus Indiana is close to Iowa. Players are gonna come to Indiana to play with her not the other way around. They could go deep in the playoffs this year. There's three Allstars on the Fever right now. Why would she leave. The league would not allow that. This would be bad business.
Indiana is not going to let Clark go. Not a chance they let Clark go, ever. But what all this does do, is put more pressure on Sides and that GM. Once Temi comes back, this team is going to make a run. But regardless, we all see the issues with Sides coaching Caitlin
Good because the coach is gonna give her a mental breakdown besides her being incompetent as a coach. She’s not a good person because she gets credit when they win but throw them I. The bus when they lose. That’s pathetic.
I'm trying to figure out where she balled out at in the in the All Star game 10 assists with the best of the best on your team, it's NBA history because no other All Star team ever took it serious. What will your excuse be then when she gets to the other team and flops. Whatever happened to those logo threes everybody was raving about now all of a sudden it's about assists.
It's Sides......she is garbage and controls what CC does......and Sides and Dunn need fired. CC's body language has not been the same since she started playing with the Fever. Sides and Dunn must be fired. Sides wants to be the center of the attention. She's awful to the players, especially CC, in the press conferences. It's stupid on her part, but her narcissism cannot help but come out to the public. Fire Sides and fire Dunn.....hire a good coach that fosters a winning culture instead of tearing down players and ruining their confidence.
I'm so sick of people putting Angel and CC AS THE NEW TALENT! Without CC, nobody knows Reese. Reese is a STAT PADDER! CC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 50 PERCENT OF THE TEAMS PIONTS! WITH ASSIST, BASKETS, AND NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW CC IS ONE OF THE BEST DEFENDERS IN THE LEAUGE. ! STOP PUTTING ANGEL AND CC TOGETHER SAME ROOKIE CLASS, NOT SAME PRO LEVEL.
To get paid more a consistent higher attendance is needed with more players worth watching along with a longer season. Just because CC brings in crowds it's not enough to justify higher pay for low average attendance. With expansion over the next few years the league will have more average players. Where are these players for 2 new teams coming from the talent pool is shallow without overseas contracts. Seems to be alot of hype I hope it works out because without talent no crowds to pay the bills
Well I'm guessing that if it came down to it Indiana would change coaches........especially since several coaches anamously stated they would trade their entire team for one CC.
@johnnealon8570 This could be a possibility when the WNBA signs that lucrative TV contract deal next year. Attendance is up, thanks to Caitlin Clark. Ticket sales have doubled in price. So that means that the WNBA best players could possibly make up to $500,000 per year. It just takes a little more time to make it happen.
Players should stay, Coach should go !!!!
Fever GM needs to go also.
Right. Caitlin, Boston, Mitchell, and Smith can dominate with a few more games together.
Fever GM is a problem. She has already sided with Sides.
Caitlin Clark must get away from Christie Sides at all costs. If that means leave the Fever? Than yes it's a no brainer!
Facts! I hate the idea of her and Boston breaking up but she can not be successful with Sides as her coach.
I'm thinking Sides mishandling and poor coaching style may have helped affect Clark's 3p%. You can't mess with your players confidence, you can't blame players publicly for losses, good coaches take the heat, not blame their players in the press.
Only way Cc is to stay with fever Side Fire bring in Cheryl Miller
And the owner and GM. All inept!
I LIVE IN INDY AND I AGREE WITH YOU. She needs somebody like Chi Sky coach is to Angel Reese
The fever just need to get rid of Sides and get a coach that can build a system around Clark.
Cheryl Miller!!!!!!
she had 19 assists in a game before the halfway point of her rookie season….. please tell me the “system” you have in mind lmao please enlighten me.
@@CynVee Having Cheryl Miller as the coach for the Fever is my dream coach! She's amazing!
Had a year to do that,didn't happen did it and the new pres.says Dunn and Sides are safe. C.C.s gotta move.
you want to keep Caitlin then ger rid of Christie Sides ASAP
There are so many pictures of Christy Sides glaring at, mean mugging, mad dogging and side eyeing Caitlyn. That can't be a pleasant experience for CC
Sides is a lunatic. I have a lot more I could say, but it is really not good to put on here even tho others do. She pisses me off so bad!
And grabbing her so rude .
Sides is just not a nice person. She was jumping a d cheering when Caitlin got drafted. And to me she is a mean person.

I'm not sure Caitlin would fancy entering the dragons den at another team? Who would choose to be around nadty, jealous, toxic, vindictive, selfish, and narcissistic players, day in, day out? It's not like she needs the money? Or the attention? She certainly doesn't need the exposure?
Personally, i don't see it happening! It's far more likely the Fever ditch Kristy Sides? It's not like they're going to risk losing Caitlin, over sticking with a terrible coach like Sides?
Hopefully, you are right. The Fever have the nucleus of a good team. They need an Excellent coach, a good GM and coaches who know how to develop the talent that is on the team. I sure hope the owner Herb Simon wakes up and does something before the end of July.
she's not leaving Indiana. They are building a championship team.
CC ain’t going anywhere,period!If you think about it there’s a reason she didn’t use her extra college year & she’s in Indiana for a reason.Trust me!
Let's see how the pop[ularity of the WNBA holds up. They are still in the red.
If CC was not playing WNBA ball, the attendance records would never be broken. The WNBA would continue to die.
This is absolutely stupid just because the owner of mercury posted a all star picture of Catlin that doesn’t mean they are recruiting her she’s under contract with the fever and plus she wouldn’t leave Aliyah Boston it’s the fans spreading that rumor
The owner of the Mercury openly said that he wanted Clark and flexing their new $100M practice facility. Sophie Cunningham jokingly saying "Come play with us", Natasha Cloud praising her game. If that's not a hint, I don't know what is.
@@frkzoid that was before the draft every team wanted her and the mercury players were joking patric mahomes gets joked around like that all the time he would never leave Kansas City and plus Catlin Clark has said on multiple occasions that Indianapolis is where she wants to be fans are just being stupid clearly fans can’t take a joke
Every team wants CC, let me repeat every team wants her
@@adelynmoncada3406 before the draft they did now she’s a fever they can get in trouble for tampering
I can’t believe #JTL is running with narratives and LIES..
Caitlin Clark is under a 3 or 4 year old contract with Indiana Fever and can’t opt out yet!!
JTL & CC fans really think WNBA is like college.. you can all of sudden transfer to another team!
He should delete this video because ESPN and sports media would’ve broke the news by now..
I am in Phoenix having her here would be awesome. But I will not go to a game while me griner is on the team get rid of him and Taurus I and then going to the mercury would be cool
As to who stays and who goes, I am sure that the owner can do the math, and I rather doubt that it will be Clark - unless she wants to go.
There is this fable about a goose that lays eggs made of gold, this goose lays dollar bills and here is what Clark has been laying in 2024 185,878 at $140 a seat for 11 games, 2023 81,336 at $60 a seat over 20 games -
Clark At $140 a seat put 104,542 more people in the seats in 9 fewer games - and in those last 9 games there could be another 152,082 tickets at $140 a seat or 256,164 more tickets in 2024 or $35,862,960 more at just the gate - and because their costs were fixed at $60 a ticket, this is going directly into their pocket.
Before Clark, the team WAS valued at $90 million - as of now, the case can be made that it's worth more.
If Caitlin Clark wasn't VERY good I would not be watching the W(WE)NBA. The NBA tried to give us Jimmer Fredette several years back but he wasn't good in the NBA. They tried to give us "Baby Jordan", Harold Miner, years ago but that didn't pan out.
Caitlin Clark is the real deal and is even making the league better because the rest of the league is even adding some "hot sauce" by upping their game. They see how much people are now paying attention to the W(WE)NBA so they're really trying to shine even more.
I'm glad that Reese is playing well and that her team is doing well so that we can have a TRUE Magic/Bird rivalry.
I thought Magic should've won Rookie of the Year back then. Caitlin should be the runaway Rookie of the Year in the WNBA in 2024.
There isn't a team able to go give up enough players and picks or combo of both to make a trade for Caitlin Clark. Monetarily the Fever would lose more than they could gain in a decade from doing this. For example the Knicks just made a trade for Bridges and have up 5 first round picks a second round pick and a player. Monetarily this trade don't make sense for the Fever and there isn't a team that is can give up that much.
Highly doubt that Caitlin Clark is going to even try to relocate to any other team .
And doubt that Fever is going to do anything to lose its #1 Rookie.
J M O & T
F Golden State, would be horrible to have Caitlin living in that cesspool
I think her Boyfriend lives in Indy.. I don't know... love can be a strong reason to stay. 😊
He could change jobs to be with her wherever she goes
Also it's close enough to Iowa and her parents come to most of her home games
@JE-IC he works as assistant to the Pacers.
@@shaemcquoid511 yeah, and if the Mercury recruited Caitlin to play for them, Ishbia could offer Caitlin's boyfriend a comparable job with the Sun if that's what it would take to get her.
Employers do that all the time - when they want to hire a certain person, they'll figure out how to arrange suitable employment for their partner. I've seen it happen many times over the years with couples I know.
What!!! She better not leave before the Sept game that I have tickets for 😮
😂😂😂😂😂
What if she went to the other team on your ticket?😅🤣😂
@@keiththompson5193 lol it's Sparks
Shes not leaving anytime soon.
@joshsmith7742 thank goddess 💜
When an expansion draft happens. A team is allowed to protect a certain amount of players. CC isn’t going anywhere nor are the starters. It’s the one or two players that never play left unprotected.
That is probably only rumors. If the Fever wants to keep Caitlin , they will have get rid of Christie Sides and build a team around her. Her haters targets her about turnovers. She did not have any at the All Star game. She was surrounded with players from other teams, who did not have any problems catching her passes and finishing the points. That says a whole lot.
I wouldn't doubt if Kamilla Cordoso would wanna leave to get more playing time. NCAA champ, playing back up.
If anything happens, I think it will be that the CBA will ratify the pay scale, and it will just go into effect, and players will get the new scale and will not be free agents.
She should own this. Whats best for her. Any team will treat better
There’s no way in HELL that Indianapolis will allow CC to go to another team!
Their TV viewership would dry up and disappear w/o Clark!
That would be analogous to the Boston Red Sox trading Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees!!!
DO YOU READ ME?????
I guess this MIGHT be possible if there was no such thing as a contract.
This is pathetic ! Coaches and selectors destroying the future of the WNBA
She is not leaving the Fever..her family is in Iowa… and there is no way that CC and AR will ever be on the same team
It would be nice if someone knew all the rules for those two expansion teams
... I don't think she will trade... the fans LOVE HER & HAVE SHOWN LOYALTY...
but I would understand.
I feel like the struggle to elevate this team has grown her skills!
No way! I would rather see Caitlin stay with the Fever and watch the team grow. They would be unbeatable! Cristy Sides needs to go, not Caitlin.
I do not want to see Caitlin and Angel on the same team either. Angel cannot touch Caitlin's style of ball!
Yes, but is sides gonna go and she’s really hurting CC!!
I have no idea about the W so why does Clark need to get away from Sides?
CC should get out of the W. It's beneath her.
The TV deal is a minimum $2.6B but there is a chance to renegotiate for more if the WNBA continues to grow in size and support for more than just the Fever
There is talk that they’re losing money this year despite CC & Cheryl Miller of all people is complaining.If this was a regular business they’d be shut down years ago.There are only 3-4 teams that actually fill the seats that’s not good.One step at a time!
She's not leaving.
I don't think so either....she wants to stay in the Midwest, boyfriend works for pacers,
But I hope sides will get the 👢 boot.
She is leaving if they dont fire Sides and Dunn
@@ledbrave4042Clark & Nike need to give the Fever ownership an ultimatum: Either they fire Sides & Dunn, & bring in people to win championships, or Caitlin will leave.
Do it NOW. DO NOT WAIT. SIDES & DUNN MUST GO!! NO EXCEPTIONS.
@@JaniceOShea If she leaves I am sure a new coaching job is in the mix for her boyfriend. Clark and her boyfriend have a ton a great people behind her to make a great career move. Clearly the Fever has a terrible GM and Coach. If she stays Sides and Dunn are fired.
CC won't abandon the people of Indiana ...no chance
Unless she gets sick of Lin Done and Crusty Sideshow
Fever need good coach if they not CC can go to the other teams
Bring in Bluder, make a trade for Martin, and give Czinano a shot.
“They” do know where she goes- we go- right?
Just being honest.
CC should go to a team where she is wanted.
Stop the click bait bro. Indiana owner is not letting her go. Plus Indiana is close to Iowa. Players are gonna come to Indiana to play with her not the other way around. They could go deep in the playoffs this year. There's three Allstars on the Fever right now. Why would she leave. The league would not allow that. This would be bad business.
youre intro is really agrivating please it
FACTS.
CC22 IS NOT GOWING ANYWHERE JON BOY IS ALL ABOUT CLICKS.
HE IS DISHONEST, AND NOTA REAL FEVER FAN.
SHAME ON JON.😅😅😅😅
Indiana is not going to let Clark go. Not a chance they let Clark go, ever. But what all this does do, is put more pressure on Sides and that GM. Once Temi comes back, this team is going to make a run. But regardless, we all see the issues with Sides coaching Caitlin
Good because the coach is gonna give her a mental breakdown besides her being incompetent as a coach. She’s not a good person because she gets credit when they win but throw them I. The bus when they lose. That’s pathetic.
I'm trying to figure out where she balled out at in the in the All Star game 10 assists with the best of the best on your team, it's NBA history because no other All Star team ever took it serious. What will your excuse be then when she gets to the other team and flops. Whatever happened to those logo threes everybody was raving about now all of a sudden it's about assists.
It's Sides......she is garbage and controls what CC does......and Sides and Dunn need fired. CC's body language has not been the same since she started playing with the Fever. Sides and Dunn must be fired. Sides wants to be the center of the attention. She's awful to the players, especially CC, in the press conferences. It's stupid on her part, but her narcissism cannot help but come out to the public. Fire Sides and fire Dunn.....hire a good coach that fosters a winning culture instead of tearing down players and ruining their confidence.
Sophia Cunningham looks like a super model. And geez that top she was wearing🎉
bait. CC is not leaving Fever.
Some very credible information from someone in the world😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude you said a whole bunch of nonsense. Also who the hell is the Atlanta Storm?
CCBA DAAAAAAAWWWWWGGGG !
Great tKe and love tour vib. ❤️
Come to Phoenix CC, 6 hour drive from beaches in Cali, Las Vegas slots, and Mexico, and you'll treated like royalty from die hard basketball fans!
I'm so sick of people putting Angel and CC AS THE NEW TALENT! Without CC, nobody knows Reese. Reese is a STAT PADDER! CC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 50 PERCENT OF THE TEAMS PIONTS! WITH ASSIST, BASKETS, AND NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW CC IS ONE OF THE BEST DEFENDERS IN THE LEAUGE. ! STOP PUTTING ANGEL AND CC TOGETHER SAME ROOKIE CLASS, NOT SAME PRO LEVEL.
ION still has Friday nights on Amazon. They will fight for coverage.
SHE WOULD BE MAKING A BIG BIG MISTAKE LEAVING HER TEAM
BS she's not in Indiana for the money keep dreaming Phoenix GO FEVER
TO DAMN HOT
To get paid more a consistent higher attendance is needed with more players worth watching along with a longer season. Just because CC brings in crowds it's not enough to justify higher pay for low average attendance. With expansion over the next few years the league will have more average players. Where are these players for 2 new teams coming from the talent pool is shallow without overseas contracts. Seems to be alot of hype I hope it works out because without talent no crowds to pay the bills
Wow, had no idea a new team was actually on the way : Golden State Valkyries. Sounds like a great name for a team.
Well I'm guessing that if it came down to it Indiana would change coaches........especially since several coaches anamously stated they would trade their entire team for one CC.
$500,000 per year salary sound good to me for WNBA players.
why theyre losing 50 million this year
@johnnealon8570 This could be a possibility when the WNBA signs that lucrative TV contract deal next year. Attendance is up, thanks to Caitlin Clark. Ticket sales have doubled in price. So that means that the WNBA best players could possibly make up to $500,000 per year. It just takes a little more time to make it happen.
No she should build a legacy at fever , coach just needs to go
