@cc22report My question is- can you give a super max without coring a player? Because if they need to core say Jackie to keep her from leaving, but then that means A’ja wouldn’t get the full super max, could that be a problem for them? But like I said, I don’t know the rule 🤷‍♀️

Interesting that the Aces haven't cored anyone at all You wouldn't expect them to give A'ja the core since she's made it clear she's staying But Jackie Young? Chelsea Grey? Either you are certain both of them will return (in which case they are gonna be insanely cash strapped) Or you are certain both of them are leaving Or one of each In any case, you're 100% certain Which is a hell of a gamble if you ask me

@Khristina This might be a stupid question but- is it possible teams have extended offers and they just aren’t announced yet? Like how Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie hull apparently got offers yesterday but we didn’t find out until today?

The 5pm deadline to extend QO’s has passed.

@NekiasNBA Does a player have to be cored in order to make the super max? I only ask because if they need to core Jackie to protect her from leaving, but then A’ja wouldn’t be able to get the full super max, could that be a problem? I guess time will tell but I’m also not sure on the rules

@wrldofastargrl I wondered about AT if DB was still going to be playing. If she is playing this year I’m sure they want to be on the same team so phx trying to make it work to afford both may be hard if they are wanting to keep satou and Kahleah as well.

Ngl surprising move from phx and aces.

@phoenix201814 @wrldofastargrl Restricted qualifying offer according to the transaction page, which makes sense I guess since she’s now a ‘restricted free agent’

@wrldofastargrl @kat_bb32 What did fever give to lexie?

Aces didn’t core Jackie and gave nalyssa a QO 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

@wrldofastargrl Maybe they plan to trade Lyss??? Or they just expect them to play together lol

@kat_bb32 Reserved means they cannot negotiate with anyone else and have to return to the team with their rights. Restricted means they can negotiate but the team with their rights can match the offer and bring them back, if they don’t match they’re free to go to another team.

@wrldofastargrl Thank you! 🙏🏼

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take lmao

Kelsey Mitchell has received Core qualifying offer from the Fever.

The Indiana Fever have, as expected, sent out a core qualifying offer to Kelsey Mitchell and restricted qualifying offer to Lexie Hull. It officially gives Mitchell a supermax in exchange for exclusive negotiating rights and makes Hull a restricted free agent.

@thecaitshot They already have to pay A’ja, Jackie, Chelsea, and idk about Jewell or NaLyssa but can they afford Nneka as well? 💀 they have to have a minimum of 12

That nneka aces news gon hurt my hurt ngl

@DayDreamThis What makes you think it’s over Kelsey??

you know how I read this? The Washington front office are making calls on Kelsey Mitchell.

@kenswift I stood in line for hours hoping to get my #7 jersey signed by her at all star this year! She wasn’t allowed to sign but I did get a pic with her! She was just as nice and bubbly in person as she comes across in interviews and on her podcast 🫶🏻

No, but I am the one who purchased her jersey to wear to see her beat the Dream this year in the playoffs. Any more questions?

@cc22report Would consider her as a back up center for sure

@kat_bb32 Not a lot

I just had an insane idea Chicago clearly hoovering up picks like a vacumn cleaner Parting with AR for nothing but 2 first rounders (insane by the way) Could Cardoso be gettable for the Fever for like a 27 first rounder? I know she hasn't exactly been amazing with Chicago but... it's Chicago If we could get her out of there and get her head on straight that would be a starting big under a rookie deal for 2 years (and I cannot emphasize how important that is) Could you imagine a frontcourt with a 6'5" Boston at the 4 and a 6'7" Kamilla Cardoso (non-Chicago version) at the 5 That would be WILD Like I said I know it is insane BUT IMAGINE

Will be very interested to see who signs for what amount of money in New York… 👀

@AnnieCostabile How long are negotiations normally? This feels comedically shortened lol

Complete schedule Designation/QO period: April 6-7 Negotiations: April 8-10 Signing period: April 11 WNBA Draft: April 13

Oh wow let’s all buckle up

@CWilliamson44 To be fair, I believe she went on to say “I have 800 text messages, i don’t know if he text or not” so it’s possible he has reached out and she just hasn’t seen it yet. Probably wanted to just focus on the game
