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

[Jonesy5960]

By "refs" I hope they mean scorer's table, because I doubt the refs on the floor are responsible for keeping track

Right. The coach goes to the refs who consult the scorers table. That's the way it's supposed to work.

Sounds like CC is sick of people being racist towards her and her fans

 

[Amahawk]

I think it can go both ways. I wonder how many people making hateful comments are really Fever fans? Anyone can claim to be one online!

 

[Bro D]

I feel zero sympathy for anyone who feels victimized by online comments. Newsflash, you don't have to read the comments.

The fact these WNBA players want to be treated like NBA players is laughable.

It’s not just online comments. It’s largely DMs. And my guess is most of the people sending these messages aren’t actually fans of the Fever or the WNBA and many of them have probably never even watched a game. The league has become the battleground for a proxy race war being fought largely by people who don’t give a damn about the league.

If anyone is interested, Sydney Colson’s podcast is up today. She talks about the A’ja Wilson incident and about social justice in general. I agree with some of what she says and I disagree with some of it. But it’s interesting to hear her perspective as a Black lesbian who has played both for and against the Fever. The podcast is called Unsupervised with Syd & TP.

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....

Co-founder Grady Burnett has explicitly denied direct Saudi Arabian financial backing or investment in the league's cap table.

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

Possible. This off-season will show where CC stands with SW and the organization.

I read somewhere that 20% of adults have Twitter and 10% of those users make 80% of the tweets.

So 1 adult out of 50 make 80% of the tweets. And that adult is probably a nameless and faceless jackass troll. Always cracked me up that people were so wrapped up in what is trending on Twitter, or the fact that the news constantly cites Twitter trends when its an extremely small percentage of people that make these trends, especially when these trends don't represent actual real life.

The fact the WNBA gives credence to this nonsense is laughable. GMAFB

I expected KM to resign last year, but this time it feels like she might be gone. What top talent would the Fever be able to attract if KM leaves because she's tired of the noise that surrounds the team and then former players (activists) Bree Turner and Sydney Colson are out there trashing the Fever organization?

Kelsey Plum.

CCs exit interview. KM, Epic contract, etc

Shouldn't the Liberty know if they have a reset timeout or not? They either used it already or they didn't. Why would they need to ask anyone?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Boston clearly tripped Wilson on that play.

Clearly I disagree. Watch the replay, there's one in this thread. Page 426, post 17006. Boston is back pedaling away from Aja. Aja jams her right foot into Bostons left foot, and then loses her balance. Aja extends her foot INTO Bostons foot, after Bostons foot is planted on the floor. How is that Boston tripping Aja? Is Boston not allowed to have her feet on the floor? Certainly Aja tripped over Bostons left foot, but Boston was moving away from her. not towards her, and Aja moved forward into Boston.

Sounds like CC is sick of people being racist towards her and her fans

Absolutely. Racism from both directions, but only one side is talked about constantly......

 

[Franisdaman]

Is anyone surprised the refs had NO idea what was going on?

Truly suspect officiating all season, as a matter of fact.

Nothing surprises me when it comes to controversy in this league

CCs exit interview. KM, Epic contract, etc

CC made $16M in endorsements last year.

I have seen where she is making over $20M this year.

It was in OT, I believe, and each team gets a new reset timeout to use in OT.

If Clark signs the EPIC extension, it locks her into the Fever through 2030 at the earliest. If she doesn't sign an extension, she plays 2027 on the team option at her rookie salary. Then they can Core Designate her for 2028 and again for 2029 at something like 20% of the salary cap.

The EPIC extension would basically add about $1MM to her salary for 2027, but would be roughly equivalent to the Core Designation salary for the 2028 and 2029 seasons. It would be guaranteed money through that contract as long as she's playing or injured from playing. But, the EPIC extension is a mandatory minimum of 3 years past her rookie team option year. Meaning it would contract her to the Fever for 2028, 2029, and 2030.

Honestly with her income from other sources, she'd be much better served giving up the $1MM next year and having the option to have freedom from the Fever one year sooner if their front office never gets their act together. She also may be able to force them to not Core Designate her in 2029 or instead force some sort of sign and trade.
