She can go to the Sky and be a low key player or go to the Fever and become a household name. I.E.... Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull. If she wants her jersey to sell like crazy and have more off the court marketability, the Fever is the ONLY choice
No team is giving up this much if Satou is on a one-year max contract. Dallas will have to work a sign and trade deal, which will require Satou’s agreement.
Why would the Sky trade away 3 and 10 for a 1 year rental when they are building? Satou doesn’t make the Sky a contender next year so you’re wasting your picks and future for no reason.
Maybe they'd do it to piss on the Fever, to inhibit them from improving their team. But doing it that way means the Sky isn't doing much to improve their own team. Messed up priorities. But it's the Sky, so we can't rule out they'd roll that way.
The Fever don't need Satou. They need their current lineup to deliver their full potential and the WNBA Referees to stop taking kick back throwing WNBA games.
If she is dumb enough to sign with the Sky, she is too dumb to be on the Fever. I actually don't think she is dumb at all, and she won't go anywhere near the Sky.
Well, it might not be a matter of where she wants to go. It's where Dallas would trade her. And like Mick said, it only looks like Chicago has enough assets to trade, unless Satou absolutely refuses and/or demands she be traded to Indiana.
@ I think the Fever has enough assets. They have two first round picks plus Smith if Dallas wants her. They could also offer a first from next year if they think Satou is worth it.
I think you are missing an important advantage The Fever have. The Fever have 3-5x, minimum, more exposure. If you are a good player, that’s translates into dollars. The value of brand deals is greater than contract dollars, especially if they are at a 3x-5x multiple because the Fever gets more eyeballs
I agree and don't understand Mick's straight up 'facts and figures' point of view... unless Mick is right and those are the only facts that matter in FA trades.
Enough with these “going to the sky” videos. Nobody wants to play with Reese. Any true basketball player knows Reese will make their life hell if any attention is taken away from Reese. Reese would rather be on a losing team then not be the center of attention.
Apparently according to Angel she said she had players coming up to her saying they wanna be her teammate. So unless she's flat out lying I don't think it's nobody.
Let her go. She can't stay on the court. 5 seasons in the W. Played more than half a season only once. She is constantly injured. The old adage still holds..."The best ability is availability".
The problem with Smith is she was unable to find her flow on the floor after an entire season with the Fever and only had in-game flow a handful of times when she was the main option. I think finding a hard working roll player who rebounds defensively and makes layups would be an upgrade.
If Satou doesn't go to the Fever then I love this. Right now Sabrina Inescu is in Miami trying to recruit Satou to go to NY (tampering?), but NY only has 4,000+ in cap space not even enough to pay draft picks. Also almost everybody will be a free agent next year except for players under rookie contrats, so I don't see Satou being anywhere for long. I think that Satou will hate the Sky's toxic culture so that might be a problem. If Chennedy Carter is gone, it would help.
i don't understand why everyone thinks they have to trade for Sabally now. any team she goes to this year will be a one-year rental with the new CBA in 2026. in 2026, she along with many others will be unrestricted and teams don't have to trade any assets to get her and lock her in a long-term deal. 2026 will be crazy because there are so many good players that are unrestricted
According to Wiki, it doesn't look like Sedona Prince is interested in pursuing the WNBA. She seems to be leaning towards Czinano's direction with another professional career.
I think the Liberty would definitely give Satou the best chance at a title next year imo like you have said before. However, I think long term she would be better off going to either the Sky or Fever.
Wait until 2026. Two #1s and Nalyssa Smith is way too much for a one-year rental. It's crazy to even consider that. If Satou were to force a trade to Indiana and promise to re-sign with the Fever after 2026 then consider it.
I like satou but I don't think she's the end all be all fever should be doing everything they can to grab Gabby Williams that's the player for Caitlin to play with .
I believe she's already made it known she wants out of Dallas. The question is where will she go? I think most likely she'll end up on the Liberty. I doubt seriously the Fever will get her. Yeah, it would be awesome if they did, but I doubt they will. If I was the Fever, I'd trade NaLyssa Smith for picks instead, and then go after Satou later when every player becomes a FA after the collective bargaining agreement. That's just me.
@thewolfofwallstreet627 Satou would be nice on the Fever but I think the Fever are better off drafting somebody like Sonia Citron. Plus she won't cost us multiple draft picks. I agree that we need to trade Naylssa Smith soon hopefully.
Keep building through the draft. Trade Smith for Atkins, she adds depth to the guard group, and you can have a rotation of CC, KM, LH, GB and Atkins. Think of Atkins as an upgrade for Wheeler. At forward, try to get Temi back, Satou would be great, but if not her, possibly Ogwumike or Charles for experience. Draft Sivka, Morrow or Barker in the first. In the 2nd, if you want depth at forward/center there are options, Westbeld, Lee or Scott. If they need a guard, Sundell could be an interesting choice.
Really just depends how valuable they find other players in the draft. If they aren’t high on Kiki, and I’m honestly not super high on anyone after Kiki. So really just depends what they want in players now/ expiring contracts for flexibility (if that’s the Indy offer) or picks to develop with Paige/Sheldon and whoever else is young on the team
@@MarkWay-m6r Salaries will be shed via trade, and the New York Liberty will not have to pay her as much since the endorsement chances for her in New York will be unlimited, so she will easily make up for the money. Since she has the big, vibrant personality for a big city that the other Liberty players lack, and because most Liberty players have the personality of goldfish, she will be the team's biggest star. To conclude, if she does not go to New York and end up in Indiana, she's still going to be a superstar so she's in an awesome situation.

Mick, you still don’t understand this situation. For the Fever to pay up for Satou, she MUST request to be traded to the Fever. She must convince KK that she is making a career move not a one year rental. If that does not happen, Indy must pass. There must be a fair trade, but the decision is Satou’s. If she doesn’t care where she goes Indy does not want her for one year.
Hmm, i know squat about trading, in any pro sport, but I recall Neon Deon going to the 49'ers for practically one game (end of season) to help win the SuperBowl as a defensive back. That million dollar deal was apparently good enough for the 9'ers. Maybe the Fever is looking at it like that; get the Championship.
@ This transaction is not about just money. Dallas will want something for the cored Satou. The trades being talked about by Mick and others would seriously cripple Indy’s future player acquisition. I’m good with that if Satou wants to have a long term home with the Fever, but I hope KK would not do that for a one year rental. If it were just money I’d be delighted to pay Satou the max for one year.
If Angel Reese had any power over the Chicago Sky’s team, Chennedy Carter would already be signed for next year, Angel’s best friend Kysre Gondrezick wouldn’t have gotten cut from the team, and Teresa Weatherspoon would still be the Chicago Sky head coach. Ooopps!
Too many of the fans don't understand that the Wings have significant say in where Sabally goes, and unless Mitchell wants to go somewhere else (probably a three team trade) , the Fever don't have enough assets unless they stupidly trade away their future. (Sabally will be cored, she doesn't have very much say in where she goes.)
The Liberty definitely has the best chance at Satou but they’d probably need to give up #7, MJ, and a future draft pick. If Satou wanted to go to Chicago she’d get a max contract in 2025 AND 2026, much positive media, & would be the scoring threat necessary to make a deep playoff push.
It would be a result of free will......hers. Poor choice but hers. On a higher note 31-4 against 30-5 ...no glitz no glamour just great team ball. Tune in for a real game.
Dude, you’re getting on my nerves! Honestly, I would guess 3/4 of your viewers are here because you started making videos about Caitlin and the Fever. If you want to lose 3/4 of your viewers, keep it up!
So let me get this straight. The Sky are going to trade away all their draft picks to get the historically injured Satou (look it up, she has had various injuries every year except 2023). Remember how things went with Mabrey? Not well. Players don’t like the team. Maybe the new coach will help. You keep saying the Sky will be better in 2 years. Not if they trade away their #3 and possibly #10 pick and lose out on Kiki or Olivia. Either one of those could be better than Satou eventually, we don’t know yet. I team can’t be tanking and also trading away picks at the same time. Pick one. The draft picks are gold dust in 2025. Ugh, I wish you hadn’t reminded me about Celeste Taylor. Such a dumb move to waive her. They let emotions control their decisions. Two things are for certain: 1. Free agency is going to get wild 2. The 2025 draft is going to be insane for the entire first round and possibly some of the second round. Excited for that.
If they get Satou the "tanking" is over....Like Mick said that would be a playoff team....I understand majority of you just started watching basketball.....But that absolutely is a playoff team
Sid reese told her to come to sky didnt she, naw She better team up with CC and fever i dont want her to go to team up with sid and she cant make layups and the sky is ghetto
😂😂 I can’t wait to hear where Mick says what team Satou is going to tomorrow .. can you imagine her going to sign to the biggest dumpster fire on earth with a girl who can’t make a basic layup
I don't think her missed "shots" where basic layups. A basic layup would be non contested shots. Not shots while you have 2/3 defenders on you that are Vets bigger and stronger.
She can go to the Sky and be a low key player or go to the Fever and become a household name. I.E.... Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull. If she wants her jersey to sell like crazy and have more off the court marketability, the Fever is the ONLY choice
And imagine if she helped take the Fever to the Final😮💨

I don't see this happening at all, I think Mick is reacting to too little sleep.
@ yeah maybe he needs some rest haha 🥱😴

Anyone choosing the SKY ,is someone ya just dont want on your team anyways. They arent about winning.

Very possible--especially when I saw the clip where Satou chose Angel over Caitlin,, foolish on her part,, race or not.
What clip and where
Mick please stop with your crazy talk!! Satou IS NOT going to the drama riddled Sky!
let's stop speculation and wait for real news

I'd choose Jewell over Satou for the Sky
Giving up the third pick for what is likely a one year rental just seems nuts.
The Fever should draft the center from TCU who is 6-7 and a good shooter and ball handler.
According to Wiki, it doesn't look like Sedona Prince is interested in pursuing the WNBA. She seems to be leaning towards Czinano's direction with another professional career.
I think the Liberty would definitely give Satou the best chance at a title next year imo like you have said before. However, I think long term she would be better off going to either the Sky or Fever.

If Satou wanted to play with CC on Fever, she'd probably do that. It would be a good market move for SS. Her stock would go up.
Can Chicago pay Satou the max contract? I don't feel like she will personally care what Dallas gets in return, as long as she's getting paid
I like satou but I don't think she's the end all be all fever should be doing everything they can to grab Gabby Williams that's the player for Caitlin to play with .

Satou is going to end up in Brooklyn with Sabrina and her sister so please stop the pipe dream. LOL
