Get the podcaster off the team. Caitlin has to deal with enough drama as it is

Sophie is a good role player (4th best 3pt shooter in the league this year) and her personality is great. The Fever should absolutely keep her. Any drama from Sophie's podcasting is a tiny speck in CC's world.

It does seem like ever since Sophie started getting really into these podcasts after games, its been more about her social media presence that her contributions on the court. With Hulls inability to provide much at all on offense we really need Sophie to provide that punch off the bench

Really going to be a short off season. Who's paying for this nonsense? "salaries like women's basketball has never seen", and " an equity stake'" for another sideshow league? So someone's going to pay Mitchell over a million dollars to play ball another three months for games on YouTube? Pure stupid....

None of this is going to matter unless and until the WNBA ponies up and brings in actual full-time professional referees who aren't largely comprised of angry, petty, jealous women of color who are just itching to T CC up and foul her out of games. As long as we have these sh*tty, part-time contractor refs the game is going to continue to suffer and increasingly become unwatchable.

I agree and maybe my post came across as holding up Engelbert in a high manner which was not my intent. The success of the last few years of the league had nothing to do with her. My point is that hiring a commissioner today is very different than when she was hired. They have to hire someone that can keep this success going from a business standpoint. The league is on the precipice of actually being self-sustaining if it can get its head out of its own *** and actually run like a legitimate league instead of a farcical league that plays favorites with players and has no interest in unbiased refereeing or application of rules. That means not hiring a former player just because they were a good player. That means hiring someone with business acumen.

I say all of this and then remember that Team USA hired Sue Bird to run the show for them rather than an actual executive with team management experience. Her first major move was to hire a coach for Team USA that is what most of us would call, ok but not great. So maybe women's basketball is just a joke once the players get out of college

The new commissioner will mirror the majority of the league

Typical of the plays that give you no real chance to win because of the incredible lack of BB IQ on the part of the officiating clowns

Disagree they will do what is best for the league...

 

[I am no one]

Still going to be one of the sisterhood

I think that it is best for Clark to keep her options open.

CC will give up Fever $ to keep KM CC is wallowing in endorsement $ and millions alone from Nike

 

[I am no one]

That would have been some serious $$ in the loss of fines and endorsements not to mention assault charges

She fell off hard in August and September.

Fever played 18 games.

Sophie scored 5 points or fewer in 12 of them

Sophie shot 38% from 3pt in August. She shot 33% from 3pt in September, but the entire team fell off in September. CC shot 29% from 3pt in September, and she took a ton more shots than Sophie.

Clark does A LOT more then shoot three point shots. Sophie? The point is one also scores in the ;paint and draws fouls and is the leagues best facillitator of offense, and the other is purely a role player. If your not filling that role, than???

She had two good games in August where she shot 7/8 from 3 combined. In the other 10 games the Fever played in August Sophie shot 5/23 from 3 combined. She fell off.

We can play that game with anyone. Let's take away a few of CC's best games and look at her shooting stats. CC shot 6-22 from 3pt in the two losses vs the Aces. KM is a ridiculously good shooter, but she shot 4-17 from 3pt in the two losses vs the Aces and 14-44 over the last six games.

I still find it kinda wild that DeWanna Bonner, who was on a crappy team, was able to just ask to be dropped and picked up by a top team at the end of the season and everyone just said, "Okay". IMO, that made the WNBA look silly.

Hope she goes to Europe. Leave all that trash league BS behind. Let them figure it out.
