It will be interesting to see if anyone is willing to take a chance on her. It’s unfortunate that her reputation precedes her because she’s a helluva baller.
Quita, please this could be a silly suggestion but I am one to always think, why don't they just get rid of that draft and let players and coaches go where they want and build their competitive dynasties.
I wanted to see Satou in NY but not at the expense of Betnijah Laney. I hope they try to get Natasha Cloud. She torched them in the playoffs a couple of years ago and almost won.
How anyone can see this as anything other than stellar for the fever is beyond me. Lyssa, in addition to being unprofessional and having a problematic personal life, was absolute dog doodoo on the floor. Soph is an upgrade, and a ticket seller (albeit with her own somewhat problematic personal viewpoints). Temi had horrible hands, and we basically upgraded her to the amazing N. Howard. And draft picks in the W are being wayyyyyy overrated here. What percent of 8-and-later picks actually make a squad? 5%? And now they have cap space for a max. (Oh and we upgraded our FO and coach). This is gonna be awesome!!
I don't disagree with everything you said, but Sophie Cunningham was a 13th pick. Howard was at 5, so it's reasonable to say you could get a pretty good player at 8 if you pick right, and they're locked into rookie contracts. I do think Sophie is a better fit for the Fever, but I'm also surprised they had to pick swap to get the deal done.
Quita I agree that the Fever did not do well in this trade. Though I think Sophie is a much better fit for the Fever, they just gave up too much in this trade compared to Mercury & Wings. If Fever would have gotten Kalani Brown too (as a bench backup big) or the Wings 12th draft pick istead of the 19th, it would have been a better trade. Considering the Mercury had no assets to give & Wings were not in the best position to bargain since Satou wanted to leave, it makes no sense that the Fever lost in this trade. We traded a starter on the team that finished 6th last year for a bench player on a team that finished 7th & had also give up the 8th draft pick to make that happen. It feels like we had to sweeten the pot just for Dallas to take Nalyssa off our hands.
Just F off with the bs... We had to take lyssa off either way... And the no 8 pick ain't worth sh!t... What did the 5-8 pick amount to last season? Dare I say the top 5 except cc were awful last season... Cardoso was totally a let down, same with brink injured and rickea no where to be found, Reese a write off... I doubt a no8 pick will take them to a play off so quit that bs
@ I agree that Kalani Brown is not a good fit for Fever, but her height does makes her an asset (as they say you can't teach 6'7"). I would have much preferred Fever got the #14 pick in the draft, but the Fever need a backup center & it would have at least made the trade seem more even.
@@dark-boson3697 I am not bitter. I am a big Fever fan & think Sophie is a great addition to the team. I just think the optics of the assets Fever had to give up & got vs Dallas & Mercury were bad. It looks like Fever had to give up more just to get Dallas to take NaLyssa off their hands. Just Dallas being willing to swap their #14 pick for that #19 pick the Fever got would have made this trade look more even.
So... what if after all this Fever actually are worse than last year??? White has a horrendous W-L record as a HC. I think Christie Sides was their unsung hero. I'm getting a vibe 🤔
They got a better coach from Sides that’s the honest truth, now that’s a possibility but to me that’s very much unlikely, their side looks way more balanced and I feel like they will be really really good, now whether that will lead to a championship that’s something that we will have to see
Sides arguably cost them three wins . She wanted to play slow ball and CC wouldn't stand for it. She contracted to train young players and Cc wanted to win.
U a Sky fan!? Sides had no coaching skill that’s why she got Wallace starting all those games . Take what the Fever did last year and add White u can’t tell me they will be worse lol
Sophie Cunningham is costing the FEVER about hundred thousand dollars, leaving money left for another pick.
Also Nneka Ogwumike re-signed with Seattle! It was announced on ESPN today by her sister.
😂👏❤️
What a surprise
Cunningham and Howard are very good upgrades for the Fever. All the Fever need to do now is sign another elite power forward.
Dear Quita, can the Chicago Sky trade Dana Evans and their #3 draft pick for everyone on team Laces from Unrivaled? Asking for a friend.😊
These trades has to be the dumbest trades in sports history. Connecticut gives up there whole team and barely nothing in return
I think the key names in terms of switching teams for free agents still include DeWanna Bonner & Chennedy Carter.
It will be interesting to see if anyone is willing to take a chance on her. It’s unfortunate that her reputation precedes her because she’s a helluva baller.
Dijonai just got traded to the Wings. She will be playing with Smith!
Thank you for this update. I appreciate the work!
My pleasure!
So Carter might end up being the Biggest Free Agent Signing. She's by far the most epic scorer available.
No one is taking her
That is a shame that she got black balled @ericsmith3996
Phoenix will sign her if they're smart. They're still short of a championship contending team.
@@johndeas9426 Plus it should not cost them nearly as much as it might have. Great call, they should sign her.
I find it amazing that the teams don't announce anything anymore. It's all individual social media posts. Boy am I old.
Dij Carrington to Dallas!
I would say that's likely!
Carter to the Fever lolol make it happen

Could you please create some graphics listing all WNBA teams with their current rosters? We all understand that these are in flux.
How you feel about van lith she looks to be having a good year but not a 1st round pick ?
@@JunkCardDawg I feel like she’ll be a mid 2nd round pick
@@SwishTSCGood pick w Sky 2nd round pick?
Bonner to Indiana it’s over people
I wanted to see Satou in NY but not at the expense of Betnijah Laney. I hope they try to get Natasha Cloud. She torched them in the playoffs a couple of years ago and almost won.
February 10 McDonald’s is going to have an angel Reese meal you can buy
Sophie Cunningham = Nalyssa Smith + 8th pick + one set of steak knives .
Looks like the Fever don't think much of Nalyssa
They thought highly of nalyssa. Nalyssa didn’t want to be in Indiana. Everybody knows this
@@pumapath2282that was before Sides got the boots. She got bad vibes because her gf
Yep
@LeHuncho1 only CC fans care about her GF. Vibes?😂 Grow up. No one not even CC wants to live in Indiana.
@@beneg417 just say u a hater and move on lil buddy
I disagree. This was the longest jan ever 🤧
Q did you hear Detroit is getting a W team, and wait where does Chennedy land
They're "bidding" to get a team. There is other cities also.
Detroit will absolutely get it. Its Detroit a great market for sports @nucl3arboNg
No one will sign chenn

Bitterness towards the Fever

Kalani brown is too massive and slow to play feverball. And very few W draft picks become rostered players. This whole take is enhhhh
@ I agree that Kalani Brown is not a good fit for Fever, but her height does makes her an asset (as they say you can't teach 6'7"). I would have much preferred Fever got the #14 pick in the draft, but the Fever need a backup center & it would have at least made the trade seem more even.

Fever have the money for a max player
Sides arguably cost them three wins . She wanted to play slow ball and CC wouldn't stand for it. She contracted to train young players and Cc wanted to win.
U a Sky fan!? Sides had no coaching skill that’s why she got Wallace starting all those games . Take what the Fever did last year and add White u can’t tell me they will be worse lol
Did you watch any Fever games? Because no disrespect but Sides appeared to struggle coaching the players she had.
