@EricApricot @CP3_777 You get a small advantage as the team that signs a player to a dev spot in that other teams can’t offer that player a dev spot. Other teams can offer them a main roster spot though - & the original team has to either sign the player to their main roster or release them.

@PhilGetsinger @HunterCruse14 That’s what I think too. Maya’s more moderate pace will be a better fit with Phee + Olivia Miles. We have a lot of fast players on the Fire and the chemistry wasn’t working. Cheryl seems like a good pairing for development potential.

@HunterCruse14 Well two teams have seen her in training and weren't impressed, so maybe there's something to it. But if anyone can help her reach her potential it's Cheryl.

@EricApricot @CP3_777 It’s the 3rd round draft pick for 2028, so if the Fire team scouts a player they like in 2028 they can draft them and then sign them directly to a dev spot without needing to waive them first. Conrado often covers GSV but he’s referencing the new Portland Fire team.

@LeeKrevat @theportlandfire It’s similar to a draft & stash, they don’t have to put her on the active roster this season.

@EricApricot @CP3_777 If you sign them directly to a dev spot before training camp you don’t have to waive them - that’s what the Fire did this season with Frieda Buhner the second round draft pick.

@CreateHoops She seems like a great person - I think her skills will be a better fit with the Lynx. Her timing / pace didn’t match well with the rest of the Fire team in the preseason games. A 3rd round pick trade creates an easier transition process for Maya instead of just being cut.

@kcekjm @UnderdogWNBA Exactly. Only 3/5 correct, potentially only 2/5 if they start Gustafson ahead of Luisa. I think they’re planning on more rotations throughout the game too - so less of a traditional starter / bench model.

@DanStal21 @NoaDalzell Same! I’m holding a grudge against the Comets for at least 4 years. If Saniya & Lacan end up on the roster I’m going to be a little conflicted in my allegiances though.

I’ll be mostly switching over to WNBA coverage over the next few months (plus Celtics offseason stuff, draft, Summer League, etc) What kind of WNBA content would you like to see this season?

@DanStal21 @NoaDalzell It’s looking like Boston / New England won’t get a team until 2030 or 2031 unfortunately. Philly & Detroit are first in line. The Sun had good offers from Connecticut & Boston area potential buyers - but the league vetoed the deals because they wanted to give Houston a team!

@NoaDalzell Any chance of a New England-area WNBA team coming down the road? Bummed about the Sun. I'm a Mass transplant to Chicago, but the Sky aren't as interesting at the moment and I'm looking to lean on my dual-citizenship.

@NoaDalzell Profiles of Morrow, Rivers, Lacan, + Leger-Walker. Coach Sarama + CLA potential. Potential changes to international scouting & recruitment due to new CBA season arrival time requirements.

@WalserTweets @NoaDalzell Definitely the Sun first - watch for Leila Lacan when she arrives from France in a few weeks, Morrow + Rivers are great too. Then as a second team watch a few games to see what players + play style you like. Valks have Gabby Williams - Liberty have Breanna Stewart.

@NoaDalzell as someone from Boston, which doesn't have a team. Which is a fun team to follow this season? Valkyries or Liberty?

@CP3_777 You also called it on her positive presence outside the paint - Serah and Luisa are both great at this.

“Offensively, she (Serah Williams) is recording a career high 12.7% OREB%. I think that’ll ultimately be her niche in the pros: using her fast-twitch muscles to generate extra possessions and/or 2nd chance points…” Well will ya look at that! 😏

She can defend stretch-bigs even though she’s not a stretch big herself. Offensively, she’s recording a career high 12.7% OREB%. I think that’ll ultimately be her niche in the pros: using her fast-twitch muscles to generate extra possessions and/or 2nd chance points…(3)

@TednSmallPieces @RyanTClarke Yeah, Flau’jae (or Raven!) would have been great picks too. Iyana Martin has a high ceiling - it will take a few years to see how they all develop. I think we’re trying to stay in the bottom 5 of teams so we get a 2027 lottery pick - it’s looking like a 3 year team building plan

@DMacyBeckwith @RyanTClarke She didn’t get much playing time last season, and she worked a lot on her game this off-season. If you watch clips of her in the Sky preseason games it’s like night and day from last season. She’s worth considering for a spot.

@RyanTClarke HVL averaged 3.5 PPG off the bench last season. Doesn't seem like she'd add much scoring.
