***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

A company that has the rights to make WNBA merch wanted to sell a 30th Anniversary poster. They didn't have the rights to CC's image so she wasn't on the poster.
Got it. But at that point doesn’t it become a default player option, cause the player can just refuse to play if no sign and trade agreement is reached?They can apply the Core designator to her up to 2 times, I believe.
2026 WNBA Free Agency: Decoded
With the 2026 WNBA calendar now underway, get to know the different types of free agents and their accompanying important dates.www.wnba.comCore Players
You’ve probably heard of the term “Coring a Player,” think of it almost as the WNBA’s version of a franchise tag. An organization can, at maximum, have one veteran free agent whom they have cored on their roster at any one time.
A Core Qualifying Offer is a fully guaranteed one-year deal worth the supermax that both UFA and RFA’s are eligible for.
If a player receives a Core Designation, the team that designates them as such is the only team with which a player can sign or negotiate a contract during the free agency period. But the team and player can still negotiate a move elsewhere via a sign-and-trade agreement if both parties desire.
I’m as big of a Caitlin backer as anyone, and I think overall the W is a clown show, but what is wrong with what AT said in that video?
Maybe I was being parasocial but I could see how exhausted she was at times during her rookie year when one of these incidents happened and social media did its thing.
I'm sure it's got to be exhausting to be under a microscope 24/7.
Positive is we almost made it halfway through a season this time before she was used as a catalyst for a culture war. Maybe by her second contract she can get through a drama free WNBA season.
Doubtful, but that would be nice. Some of the old guard like Bonner/Thomas may actually retire some year, so......
I meant to comment but somehow posted it without ...
She says that the Mercury know when you play the Fever it's all about 1) moving people out of the way 2) getting to the basket, and 3) getting to the foul line.
In my mind only one of those things is basketball or in the spirit of the game. I guess a lot of players try to get to the line, but for some teams it's a staple of their offense it seems. Trying to get fouled is a cheap tactic, imo, but there ARE many folks who think it's enlightened basketball or something. They'll say it's "a real heady play" or something, lol. And I know Caitlin will occasionally do this too but I'm not a fan regardless.
Then the moving people out of the way ... that's just a flat-out corruption of the game. Might was never supposed to equal right in basketball. I'm definitely old school on this.

Sarcasm is hard here and there are some real dumbasses.. it's hard to keep track of who thinks they are funny and who are just idiots.. I'm sure I've come across as one or the other at times so sorry if I'm off base here
Tell us you are clueless on so many levels. There is now way that shot to the groin is incidental or accidental..
CCFC-New season on X: "Check the cheap shot from Bully dirty player, Alyssa Thomas on Caitlin Clark’s neck and knee to her groin area where she was hurt last year. No CALL. https://t.co/j1mOd8sIxT" / X https://share.google/tdqDb6nv9KA1cKhJo
Most of the jumping on Clark happened when the ball was nowhere near her…that’s the problem I have with it. Wrestling over a ball that’s not there and never really was there.

I can't even decide which one I am so this is probably accurate.
Where the F were her assistants? Someone had to have seen it. Any assistant that saw it and didn’t get a T should be fired.
Thomas could have easily grabbed the ball out of Clark's hands if that's what she wanted to do. She made absolutely no attempt to get the ball. She went straight to the throat as Clark passed the ball from a prone position.
This is the same Alyssa Thomas who clotheslined Angel Reese. The same Alyssa Thomas who shredded Napheesa Collier's ankle when she ran through her on a steal. Thomas is a linebacker playing basketball. She's the Bill Romanowski of the WNBA. One game is better than nothing, I suppose. It's at least something. But the next time she pulls this kind of **** it needs to be a lot more than just one game. She's going to wind up ending someone's career if she doesn't change her reckless playing style.

That's what I said earlier in the thread. The unnecessary and intentional knee to her groin was way more dangerous than the fist to her throat. CC missed most of last season because of an injury to that groin. That was 100% Alyssa Thomas trying to injure her. Thug, dirty play.
The real irony is that CC is THE reason AT is earning $1.2 million in salary this year.
