  1. Cardoso should be the best player on the team - she was the #3 pick for a reason - but is entirely too boom or bust game to game to be considered. She has incredible games and (aside from a 6 game stretch earlier in the year) then disappears. She can't be counted on to give consistent effort and production. You don't need to be a 3 time MVP to call out a bullshit FO. What are they going to do, let her walk? That's exactly what she's going to want to do in 2 years after Chicago gives up top 3 picks in the 2026 & 2027 (that have already been traded away in swaps) and is unable to sign any FAs. The Chicago GM traded the #3 pick and possibly the #1 pick in 2026 for Ariel Atkins and then signed 36 year old Sloot to be the PG on a rebuilding team. They have no clue what they are doing - and the rest of the WNBA, including the players, know it.
  2. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make - that Angel Reese isn't as good as the 3-time MVP? No shit. The fact that A'ja Wilson would struggle to get this team to .500 is exactly the point. What Angel is is far and away the best player on the Sky roster. A roster completely mismanaged by a joke of a GM and the worst FO and ownership group in the WNBA (and its not even close). I expect Reese to leave - just like Fowles and Elena Delle Donne before her. https://www.sbnation.com/wnba/1078301/angel-reese-comments-chicago-sky-right-mismanagement
  3. Circumventing the salary cap to sign Joe Smith cost the Timberwolves 5 first round picks. The precedent has been set.
  4. Well, see, that gets to the crux of it. For fans like you there is nothing they could say, for or against, that wouldn't lead to criticism - so they don't really give a fuck what you want or think. They've (players) have actually been pretty clear that you're not the fan they're courting. So, instead, they'll do what every other union has done and they will ask for the moon and settle for what they can get.
  5. I mean, NBA players don't want them either.
  6. Putting here because it is recruiting related:
  7. Probably the best game in two seasons for the Sky's Twin Towers
  8. PK is, by all accounts, as low-ego a guy as you'll find. He took a demotion at Washington so that Jimmy Lake could be the DC to ensure that Lake stayed on staff. He's had plenty of opportunities to interview or take a HC job but appears to be completely uninterested. I expect he's going to allow Akina pretty wide latitude in technique and scheme that the back end of the defense plays.
  9. Napier will be owed approx 20 million if he's fired after the 2025 season (contract states he gets 85% of remaining money if he's terminated without cause)
  10. You're the guy whose family has blocked him for posting those AI news articles on Facebook aren't you?
  11. A lot of axe throwing. I also once saw several hours dedicated to a bunch of people tossing a football around a vent pipe on a roof.
  12. Of course. It was meant tongue-in-cheek. That said - there were plenty of people wondering about the viability of the league - Magic/Bird and then a few years later Jordan changed all of that.
