@espn @ShamsCharania @alexaphilippou Smart to lock her up now. Boston improved so much between year 2 and 3. She is already top 3 or maybe 2 at her position. At her age she will keep getting better for at least the next 3 years. Many athlete start peaking around 28 or 30. Big win for the Fever!

Breaking: Indiana Fever three-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston is signing a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension with the franchise, giving her the richest total salary in league history to date, Zack Miller of WME Basketball tells @ShamsCharania, @alexaphilippou and @kendra__andrews. Boston will make $1M in the upcoming season and 20% of the cap from 2027-29.

@YahooSports @dallasnews Here’s a question you can ask; Azzi prior to UConn you were an incredible scorer. At UConn you became known as mostly a shooter, do you think you will expand your game in Dallas? Reach your

The Dallas Morning News' Kevin Sherrington on the Wings shutting down his question about Azzi Fudd's relationship with Paige Bueckers. (via @dallasnews)

@YahooSports @dallasnews Male athletes dating each other never gets talked about.

@KyaBeTweeting Good point. Azzi was primarily a shooter at UConn. Azzi can score from anywhere if she wants. At some point she needs to look to score everytime she gets the ball in a variety of different ways. I hope she breaks out over the next few years.

Geno is the greatest coach of all time, but I am excited for Azzi to be developed to her full potential. UConn doesn’t develop players to their individual strengths. They develop players based on how they fit as a part of the system. She hasn’t reached close to her ceiling.

@Adrienne2012 That’s your interpretation. The question was asked and answered.

@AlisonR59544352 Then they shouldn't have made it known. Team culture is a part of covering a team. Having said that, my point remains the same: since he did ask it, let the grown woman tell him to go take a hike if she wants to. Why is she being rescued like a child?

Concerning the Azzi question from the reporter, as someone who, until recently, worked in journalism for more than a decade after my teaching career, I have to say it would almost be a dereliction of duty for a true journalist not to ask the question. It is Azzi’s right not to answer, of course, but someone swooping in like she’s a child was not the way to go. To those saying that it’s no one’s business who someone dates, I may be inclined to agree 1) if they were not teammates (which is why they shouldn’t be) and 2) if the league didn’t pride itself (no pun intended) on flaunting these things before the public at every opportunity.

@jemelehill Question was answered. None of your business.

They should have let her answer the question.

@skytown_hater Please no

so basically if this is just typical journalism, I expect DB&AT to be asked in a presser why they aren't married yet, ask Nalyssa and Jackie how they're navigating being on the same team now that Nai and Jackie are together. oh, and ask Marina if her and Saniya are still dating!

@DayDreamThis Question was asked and answered

Don't they ask Bam about A'Ja? Kiki's man was asked about her Van Lith, Caitlin has been asked about Connor even at practice I mean of course they were going to ask the #1 pick that.

@phxsunz25 A’ja was so dominant last year. Has she peaked or can she get better? Boston, Reese, JJ and Phee seem to slow her down a bit but not much.

The crazy part is that supermax is still a major underpay for A’ja when you consider just how much value she has brought to the franchise and the league as a whole

@Sportico Renting a place for 6 months can be problematic

WNBA comissioner Cathy Engelbert stated housing the biggest priority during CBA negotiations. "I just assumed having two children in their 20s that you know would pay for their own housing..."

@KevOnStage Jewell will need to play better this year and Chennedy will need to attend all her therapy and stay on her meds.

Chennedy Carter on your second unit is crazy.

@nyliberty @BetnijahLaney @WNBA She’s one of the true 2-way players in the game. New York missed her last year.

The New York Liberty have re-signed 2024 WNBA Champion, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton!🗽 Welcome back, 👑🐝

@EWeezy_For3eezy Most fans are very happy for all the players. Don’t let the haters influence your feelings. Very happy for you. Be smart don’t end up like many NBA players

@HunterCruse14 @TheSkyShowCHI Idiot! Idiot! Biggest Idiot in NBA history. Ask him who is making his player selections. No way he is doing this on his Own.

Jeff Pagliocca on trading future draft picks: “I know I gotta make sure y’all always have something to write about, you know, if I do something unpredictable.” “….We’re going to remain to be in win-now mode as long as I’m here.”

@MysticsNews @parsenault19 Happy for her. Tempo could be good!

Via @parsenault19: Tempo signed Shakira Austin to a 3 year max deal. The Mystics have until tomorrow to match it - should they?

@TyLaCo91 Depends on the plan for HVL.

If i’m Chicago… I’m selecting Raven if she’s on that board. Long term getting a young PG to learn from Sky/Sloot to play with Rickea/Kamila/Azura/Nai as your future core is smart strategy

@chiney @MylesEhrlich Michaela will have a breakout year!

BREAKING: Fresh off of coaching UCLA to a national championship, small forward Michaela Onyenwere has signed a multi-year contract worth over $1.4M with the Washington Mystics, her agent Ticha Penicheiro of Priority Sports tells ESPN. The 2021 Rookie of the Year joins a core of promising young talent in DC.

@KickNDaPants @shahartley Your logic doesn’t work. He drafted two white players HVL and Maddy. Try again.

@shahartley The Citron Draft pick was a counter-move to combat the "race card" that was sure to come his way if he drafted her White man gets ride of black coach, tries to pull an Indiana Fever by drafting a white girl and pushing her Reese doesn't like white people based on her behavior

It's clear that Jeff never actually liked Angel Reese in the first place & wanted her gone. He drafted her at 7 because TSpoon wanted her. He gave up the 3rd pick (should've drafted Sonia Citron). He drafts a player who was already going to be playing overseas (should've drafted Paopao). Brings in far worse players than in 2024. Angel speaks up about wanting better & they suspended her. Fast forward to now, she gets traded when she didn't ask for one, but was allowed to choose where to go. She chooses Atlanta. Jeff then starts bringing in players (who are far better than the 2025 crop) for the 2026 season, including Rickea, DiJonai, Skylar & Azura. And this is while Sky still have the 5th pick in the draft. It's like he was playing possum the whole time. #WNBA

@shahartley Another possibility, someone is helping him select players and the CBA gives him options to obtain better players by paying them more than other teams.
