Bonner leaving the Mercury...seeking a playoff team to try and get a ring.
Assuming she doesn't have the clout in the league that she thinks she does, there shouldn't be a single one among the playoff contending teams that picks her up before the season ends.

The only one that would be truly desperate enough is Washington and that's because they currently have zero chance against whoever they get paired with (not that Bonner is really gonna swing things at this point).

Minnesota, Golden State, and even Vegas and Atlanta are just fine with where they're at and won't just hand her a roster spot so that she can ride the coattails of whatever success they may have this year.

She thinks the sisterhood will back her play...........I guess we'll see if one of the playoff teams decides to meet our already low expectations of their character.

(And watch, the Indiana front office will pick her up just to manufacture more drama despite everyone assuming there isn't a chance in hell they would be the ones to actually bring her back)

Every team has figured out the same game plan against the Fever: dribble past the perimeter defender, throw the entire defense into disarray, and find someone for a wide-open shot or layup. If Indiana can figure out a way to stop that from happening every single possession they have a chance to go far in the playoffs. As it is, they usually look like panicking doofuses on defense. It's vexing.

At times it looks like a soup sandwich. Late on closeouts, no closeout, and no baseline help defense. Throw in some weak perimeter defense, giving the shooter too much space, and yeah, it looks disorganized for certain.
