The problem is Carter. The problem has always been Carter. And everybody always wants to point out how talented she is. It’s true. She amazingly talented. Except where it truly counts… Between her ears. She’s physically a grown woman but with a child’s mind and emotional stability. That is what’s going on with the Sky.
I don't see C. Carter being a top pick. It only takes one toxic player to bring down a competitive team. Carter is that player. She's proven this on 3 teams. China league is not the WNBA. Doubtful Carter's mental stability can sustain in the W without incident(s). Who will be the next fool to put Carter on their roster?
Carter has no where to go. No other team wants her due to her mental instability. Every team she's played with was/is affected by her negative mind set and actions. Teams have begun to put their foot down on her as a team member. The great play from her does not overcome her divisive, selfish, team destroying personality. There is no risk with her...only guaranteed team culture destruction. The Chicago Sky have figured that out, finally.
Nah. Teams want her. She just needs the right coach and team. She’s really good. I wouldn’t give up on her yet. The Sky culture is just toxic and she is over it. They benched her to put worse players in. Terrible coaching last season. Really really bad coaching. Worse than Christy Sides, I’m serious. All that doesn’t excuse tantrums but she’s passionate. Caitlin is the same way (not as bad these days). Imagine being one of the best guards in the league and the coach isn’t using you. It’s frustrating. She’s really good. It’s a shame all the Fever fans saw her take out her frustrations on Caitlin, but she isn’t getting ejected from games all the time or anything.
The Sky are rebuilding and Carter is a locker room cancer who no longer has T Spoon to reign her in. Carters troubles on every team she has been on are well known and despite her talent she is a hard pill to swallow for any team that values a cohesive locker room. I dont see any notable FA's who are shooters wanting to go to a team where they are already the second option and obligated to feed Reece to get her double doubles which is all she cares about. Playing Reece the minutes she gets hurts Cardoso because they are not good on the floor at the same time, particularly when Angel shows little interest in defense standing around waiting for offensive rebounds whic turn into points the other way if she doesnt get them. Angel's style of play is a dinosaur. The Sky needs to trade either Reece or Cardoso , if they are smart they trade Reece if anyone wants the headache she comes with. Sadly Cardoso has more value to any team who knows what they are doing and isnt just looking for a celebrity. Reece ti the Valkaries would be a good fit since they are years from winning anyway.
The Valkyries are actually trying to build a solid roster, so I doubt if they want angel race around. Particularly if they sign Kelsey Plum which many people think is going to happen. So I don’t think they want a celebrity like Angel Reese messing with their chemistry. We already saw what it did to Chicago last year
@@industryagainReese also doesn't win you games rebounds the Wii U games even though I don't like Carter Carter when you games the best person the best player 2.3 points last minute game winners is Carter without her they're done first game of the season against my team Indiana fever and CeCe it's going to be a blowout get rid of her see what happens just like the coach got rid of
@@industryagain Caitlin Clark a 6' Guard had more blocks, and steals than Angel Reece a 6'3 Front Court player. Also she hangs around the basket trying to gobble up offensive rebounds no one elkse cares aboiut anymore and leaves the defense a player short in transition if she doesnt come down with the ball. On what metric are you claiming she was one of the best defensive players?????? I would agree Angel historically has the potential to play good defense, she just doesnt care about it because all she values is rebounds to extend a ridiculous double double streak. A'ja Wilson was quoted as saying "I dont chase rebounds" Thats all Angel Reece does is chase rebounds........then misses the second chance layup opportunity. If you grab 20 offensive rebounds in a game it SHOULD turn into 40 easy points. Angel averages 13 points from all attempts. Do rebounds matter is basketball? ONLY if they turn into points. Angel has potential, but she is a LONG way from being as good as she thinks she is.
@garygraves5734 I don't think you have been wtching the games. Angel would mark the best forward of the opposing team each game. Collier, Stewart, Alyssa Thomas, etc. and held them to below their averages.
Let me be sure I understand this. You have doubled down on Carter being the Number One free agent. Now we find out Chicago won’t make an offer for fear she might come back. They don’t even think any other team will trade for her. Which is it Mick?
He doesn’t. He already said the Liberty are winning in 2025 so I guess we should all stop watching the WNBA and stop watching his videos. The Fever are already way way better how the team is right now compared to the start of 2024. And they still need to get some better players. It’s way too early to declare a 2025 champion. Liberty BARELY won and it took a lot of help from the refs as we all know.
Chicago took a chance on Carter last season, obviously they don’t believe she’s worth the risk. They’re had the experience. Not hard to understand at all.
I predicted last season that Chennedy Carter had reached a point where most team owners see her as a liability. Great player, but not worth the investment when she goes mental several times a season. Perhaps the Sky is there now. (I also predicted that both Weatherspoon and Carter were done at the Sky. One down, one tbd) When viewed solely on her BB skills, no team in their right mind would let her go unrestricted without an offer. But that, it seems, is what the Sky have done. Let's see which team, if any, picks her up. My guess is if she does land somewhere, it will be with strict conditions on emotional outbursts and violence on the court/in the locker room and likely will be her last chance in the W. Thankfully, not everyone puts blinders on horrible behavior and sportsmanship solely in the pursuit of winning a game.
Yes, it is a common trait that some podcasters put something out and others follow suit. JTL is famous for this and then turns around and says that he reported it first.
I believe Reese talked Carter to do the slamming of Clark, she said she was asked to do it, everytime she did something to Clark Reese was clapping and yelling and hugging Carter, then when crap hit the fan after the slam down she had nothing more to do with Carter because she had done Reese’s dirty work for her
You say she is worth the risk but the sky know how she was in the locker room. If they want to keep Reese and Camila long term they may feel that not taking her will show those that stayed the team is listening to them as apposed saying “shut up and work with the head case. “ You have know info as to how bad it was there. You might listen to a team that coached her less than 5 months ago. she could forget all that she “learned” in China about being a hot head. And with her reputation, one good season overseas will not make the other teams just overlook the rep. She may have to a small paycheck just to find a home to prove she has learned to play nice with everyone. That is the only way a team came afford to take the risk if they decided to cut her because they wasted cap space on a head case. I don’t think team are as high on her as you are and they have the skin in the game. As for fever you have the same issues plus the risk of showing disrespect to your star player and fans. I for one would be less likely to watch games if she comes to the fever and especially if they pay her more than league min.
Very good analysis. You are spot on. I think that team has a lot of potential and I do think. Camila cardosa can be one of the best centers in the WNBA she has all of the skills just needs to work on positioning yourself to receive the ball
From your video about Plum ,you mentioned she did not run well,but the whole of The Fevers game is based on running so whywoujld the rever what her,get more sleep Mick
Whether you are rebuilding or contending she is not someone you want on your team. I think the only team that would sign her is the Connecticut Sun bc they are desperate. Her and Carrington have opposite strengths and they would either be a great backcourt duo or kill each other.
Nobody wants to play for them. They aren’t going to win any time soon, facilities are horrible, organization from the front office are the worst. Everybody seen what was going on in the season even if you don’t want to admit it. They are the Washington Wizards of the league.
Cardoso really drew the short straw in the WNBA 2024 draft. The only franchise she could have found herself in that would have been worse, in terms of toxicity, is the Seattle Storm, who the Golden State Valkyries opted against selecting a player from.
Chennedy Carter is the best player in the Wnba. If I was a owner I would get her 1million and a psychologist. Micheal Jorden, Kobe Byrant, and most great players are hard to deal with. They put in the work meanwhile most are chilling. One vs One Chennedy Carter would beat everyone inthe WNBA. Yes, including Caitlin Clark.
Dennis Rodman was a winner. He won championships in Detroit and Chicago because despite his antics, he contributed to winning as an unselfish defender and rebounder. Carter is no winner. Her teams have been garbage. Do you think teams can't see her talent? Everyone can see it clearly. There's a reason why no team wants to keep her.
There are only really 4 teams that could need her, besides CHI: 1) CHI 2) LAS 3) CON 4) SEA (Trade for JL) 5) GSV PHX has 4 players making 200k as guards. DAL + IND have positional players already. MIN has both McBride + Williams (which Carter and her dislike each other) ATL has 3 or 4 guards making 200k or close to it. NYL doesn't have the money. LVA got Kelsey Plum cored, so they would need to trade. WAS already has a lot of high-value contracts for guards, so they'd need to trade to make the money work. CON depends on how their free agency goes, and what players they can get/ retain. If they part ways with that team, they could give Carter a near max or max and replace the departures of the other three players, mostly. SEA can trade for JL's replacement becoming Carter, provided that is something they want to do. However, SEA can trade with other teams as well like any other team except 2 or 3 that would be able to do it. The offer of Carter isn't as enticing as other teams; given that they have literally no draft picks this year except two top 10 picks and they need to use them to have a "proper" rebuild anyway. GSV can offer a bag if they felt like it. Or they can keep the "money" low and work on better contracts next year. Entirely depends on their plan of the future. LAS is the only team with cap space + money + positional need that could risk getting her as CHI would have to figure out a way to keep her from agreeing to that. They could throw a massive bag on her and force CHI to pay her max or near-max and cause problems to the organization in the future. If she becomes a UFA, then the other teams in the league (except MIN) would be likely to drop a minimum training camp contract, provided they wanted to. I don't really see the market that high for her out there, however--besides the two teams that would have to throw a bag as a last second due to other issues involving a need at guard. Even then, you could trade with ATL or WAS for better options, since they have similar production with better contract value out there.
Chennedy needs to play with Caitlin. All the simps are butt hurt that she shoved CC. I think her and CC will be close and Chennedy would change being around CC...in a good way. Rodman went to the Bulls after being an enemy for years. It can work!
How do these players even afford agents? Who has an agent negotiating a 100k contract in 2025? The Women’s version of American Pro basketball. That’s who. Wait who? Exactly. Good comment self
At this point who doesn’t see that she is a cancer to any organization? I would be willing to bet the Sky want to get rid of Angel Reese too, but they are stuck with her.
I want to know exactly why Carter missed so many games towards the end of the season before any talk of going to the Fever. I highly doubt it was all covid related. Wouldn't be willing to take the risk if she can't make herself available to reap any reward.
I love how, in every picture of Chennedy Carter, she looks like she's going to end someone. Lol
lol! thats a great pic...
Reese's little pit bull.
Nobody wants to point out the elephant in the room with the sky

So Caitlin is the problem and that’s why Kelsey is leaving and Satou doesn’t want to play there either.

She’s so gone after her rookie contract is up unless that team can get it together in the next couple years.

It depends how well Reese plays in Unrivaled. If she shows a middy game. Then it gives Chicago better options on what team to build around her.
You kidding right 🤣🤣
Her jump shot is still broken
,🤣🍌
The problem that AR will face is that the game is 3x3 full court. If the opponent runs she will be left behind.
hell the fever can take her as a back up..lmao..she would be great off the bench...
She’s either a starter or not worth the headache
