Caitlin Sutherland

@headyhoops @DBGyt_ Nobody is going to a wnba game solely to see Sophie. She might sell some merch but she’s not worth $1mil+ per season.

@DBGyt_ But she fills seats 🤷

If either expansion team is willing to core Sophie Cunningham and give her the supermax, they will also be willing to give her the regular max in free agency so she'll leave anyway... Protecting a non-all star UFA in the expansion draft is a waste of a protection

@feverMaan @birdology_ They don’t need to protect her. As a UFA she can sign anywhere and she’s not good enough for an expansion team to core and give a max salary even if she was taken in the draft.

@birdology_ From a business perspective you have to keep Sophie over KK and get another power forward to replace KK if you lose her. Sophie puts butts in seats and sells tons of swag. KK will NEVER do that. Plus, Sophie is a damn good player.

My prediction for who the Indiana Fever will choose to protect during the expansion draft: . Caitlin Clark . Aliyah Boston . Kelsey Mitchell . Lexie Hull . Makayla Timpson #FromAnywhere

@chillcryptworld @kenswift They don’t need to protect Sophie. She’s a UFA and can sign anywhere even if she’s drafted. She’s not good enough for an expansion team to core and max.

@kenswift Ok, so CC, AB, KM...Lexie and...? Sophie?

5 players. Yikes

@ddem2000 @kenswift Yes and yes. They’ll core her.

@kenswift Does KM need to be protected? Is she a free agent?

@Messydye @kenswift They have 5 on protected contracts. Rookie: CC, AB, KK. RFA: Lexie. Rights to: Chloe. They’re 100% protecting CC, AB, Kelsey, and Lexie. KK probably gets the last spot.

@kenswift Doesn’t the fever only have 3 under contract? lol

@Ser_Dweeb They’re still going to be talking about trading her or her leaving the team after she signs her new contract with the Fever.

@The_Cro_Show @nosyone4 Yes.

@nosyone4 Who are we thinking? CC, AB, Lexie, KM, and KK?

It’s official the Fever will protect 5 players

@Neer_97 Paige couldn’t have gotten a championship at UConn without Sarah and Azzi. Stewie needs a guard to get her the ball. The only player capable of getting Iowa as far as they did had to be able to score AND assist like nobody else. Please stop being delusional.

Put Paige Bueckers at IOWA or Stewart at IOWA and they would have won the championship games with that squad because they play defense and don’t play selfish basketball where they take all the shots and pout when their teammates attempt a fg that is not assisted by them.

@EWeezy_For3eezy Go for it.

I wanna go to the DRAFT! I’ve never been ! Obviously I just wanna see the vibes! That’s the childhood kid in me!

@Queenie32713 @Sunny083193 Everywhere since last night, lol. Jackie and Nai shared identical pictures from a hotel room and then people found videos of them together at unrivaled, etc. 😂

@Sunny083193 Where yall see this

Jackie and Dijonai? What in the love and hip-hop is going on😭. Nalyssa literally ruined her career with the fever because of that girl. This is messy.

@Pick6Club @TheHoopHerald 💯

Two completely different players. Both great. Caitlin = System Creator Paige = System Maximizer You'd have to actually watch the games (assuming you aren't since you asked the question) but basically it goes like this. With Caitlin, the offense starts with her. She bends coverage every possession and raises the ceiling of her teammates. She does this by her insane shooting range, her get ahead passing, her pick & roll passing, her ability to get downhill, and the attention she gets off the ball. If you have her, you're system is created around what she does. With Paige, she thrives inside structure, converts advantages at elite efficiency, and has benefited from talent density. Again, watch the games and you'll see that Bueckers is allowed to go without touching the ball for minutes at a time. She surgically picks her spots and creates when needed rather than owning every possession like Clark. Bueckers is an elite decision-maker, midrange shooter, and doesn't require heliocentric control. If you have her, she's going to be able to optimize the existing system with the talent around her.

Nothing but respect for Caitlin Clark But legitimately don’t know what she does that Paige Bueckers can’t do

@Ser_Dweeb Same with the Lynx. Phee needs another star.

Role players don’t win championships in the W, stars do. Mercury were a deep team and got swept. Atlanta was a deep team and lost to our shorthanded team because Kelsey and AB were too good. You can’t have the best big 3 in the W and have all the amazing role players.

@PorterHTP_SC @VinceMa89640974 @bluepoet3 @Gold_Boom317 Who got Hannah the ball and pulled all the defenders off her? How far did Hannah get them in the tournament once CC graduated?

@VinceMa89640974 @bluepoet3 @TooManyCatS1210 @Gold_Boom317 Ehhhh, Hannah Stuekle scored 23 to get them to the natty game. Clark don’t do it by herself.

Ring Culture in WCBB is hilarious. How many rings would Breanna Stewart have won at Syracuse? What about Moore at Georgia? Paige Bueckers at Minnesota?

@nosyone4 And then the same people are complaining about Paige and Angel needing better teammates on their wnba teams.

unfortunately cc haters are too low iq and bad faith to engage with in a back and forth. I tried ✌🏽

@lyokangirl Fall

......So when will we get her signature shoe?

@Allie874 They didn’t include Kelsey when she wasn’t signed last year.

Question: did the Fever stop including Kesley in their posts while she was unsigned last yr? Obviously, the timeline of her being unsigned was a lot shorter last off-season due to the CBA being in place & free agency being in January. Can’t say I remember them not posting her tho

@PorterHTP_SC @Gold_Boom317 I know but she never said she would have gone there for sure. She said multiple times that she wanted Geno to recruit her but she was a homebody and wanted to stay close to home. Hence turning down Notre Dame for Iowa.

@TooManyCatS1210 @Gold_Boom317 I mean her words not mine.

@Gold_Boom317 Exactly. If you swapped any of those other players in their college prime onto CC’s Iowa teams, none of them could have done what she did and gotten them to back to back championship games.

@PorterHTP_SC @Gold_Boom317 She said she wanted Geno to recruit her, not that she definitely would have gone there.

@Gold_Boom317 And lol, UConn is the standard. Cry more. Clark wanted to go to UConn. It was her dream school.

@WALKEDH0ME They’ve already said it’s coming in the fall.

we’re really not seeing that signature shoe anytime soon wow
