Used Her Hoop Stats projected protection list!

9. Minnesota - Pass 10. New York - Rebekah Gardner 11. Phoenix - Kitija Laska 12. Seattle - Zia Cooke 13. Washington - Lucy Olsen *Selecting an UFA in the draft is doubtful for Toronto. Very risky and Toronto will have enough trouble in free agency to deal with $$$$

Toronto Tempo Expansion Draft Predictions 1. Dallas - Li Yueru 2. Atlanta - Taylor Thierry 3. Chicago - Maddy Westbeld 4. Connecticut - Pass OR Marina Mabrey (UFA) 5. Golden State - Laeticia Amihere 6. Indiana - Chloe Bibby 7. Las Vegas - Pass 8. Los Angeles - Julie Allemand

Used Her Hoop Stats projected protection list!

9. Minnesota - Anastasiia Olairi Kosu 10. New York - Marina Johannes 11. Phoenix - Kalani Brown 12. Seattle - Nika Mühl 13. Washington - Jacy Sheldon Portland will attract big names in free agency who will bring in the missing shot creation & scoring engines from the draft

Portland Fire Expansion Draft Predictions 1. Dallas - Haley Jones 2. Atlanta - Sika Kone 3. Chicago - Hailey Van Lith 4. Connecticut - Rayah Marshall 5. Golden State - Kate Martin 6. Indiana - Makayla Timpson 7. Las Vegas - Pass 8. Los Angeles - Rae Burrell

@Brianna39702494 It’s not the greatest….. but it’s better than making one yourself 😅

@user1775890 I don’t like their protected list

@Muppetish Yeah I was using the Her Hoop Stats projected protection list because I didn’t want to make my own 😅 but in that case, Portland would likely snag Chloe Bibby then before Toronto. Indiana would be crazy to leave Makayla unprotected, but you never know in the W!

@user1775890 I have a feeling Makayla Timpson will be protected so they gonna have to pick someone else 😆

@troylandia346 Sarama prioritizes defense, versatility, low-usage impact. Rayah fits perfectly-mobile, disruptive, and doesn’t need the ball to make an impact. Ideal fit. She would excel in Portland. Much more than Connecticut!!!

@user1775890 Rayah in Portland might move me

@Brianna39702494 I used the her hoop stats projected protection list you used for this. Part of me wonders if Arike and Haley would be flipped. Arike unprotected and Haley protected. Losing Haley would be a big loss. She fit in very well with the Dallas team last year.

@user1775890 I loved Haley on Dallas one of the few bright spots

@Brianna39702494 Unfortunately, Haley fits Sarama’s coaching style perfectly. Dallas is extremely lucky if Portland ends up choosing someone else.

@user1775890 I don’t wanna loose Haley.. there are bigs take one of them

Laeticia Amihere ➡️ Toronto Tempo Another 🇨🇦 Canadian Trio now of BC, KN, LA Aaliyah Edwards will NOT be joining this Canadian group. Will the Tempo get any US 🇺🇸 players in free agency? 🤔 looking like it might be all Canadians and players from outside of North America

Nika Mühl ➡️ Portland Fire in the expansion draft Looking like a big possibility 👀 Portland Fire going for the UConn powerhouse style? 🤔 Portland Fire hasn’t missed yet with their staff hirings. All excellent choices. No doubt this continues into the draft and free agency 😏

Connecticut/CT Sun has been removed from Marina Mabrey bio. IG bio was changed weeks ago but TikTok bio is recently. She has made it clear she will be returning long-term to the Sun and will be a Houston Comet. Changing the bios to Houston once the board makes it official?

@alanbarcoff HUGE analytics guy. Incredible hire. Already puts them miles ahead of many other teams! I’ve heard they were interested in Nika Muhl. Fits perfect w/ coaching style. Who are you thinking? Also, looks like Laeticia Amihere to the Tempo as well. Going all 🇨🇦 is interesting 🤔

@user1775890 They hired a really innovative head coach and I’m hoping they grab 2 specific players in the expansion draft

My Portland Fire Predictions remain the same. Toronto is interesting because I don't think they're as enticing as Portland in terms of expansion teams. Portland 🇺🇸 > Toronto 🇨🇦 if you're considering the cities outside of basketball.

@alanbarcoff This makes me so excited! I can’t wait. Made my day hahah. I will be at as many Portland games as possible this summer 😊 Everything I’ve read about the Portland team is amazing. Portland will be excellent on and off the court. Hoping you have some FA news soon for the Fire! 😊

@user1775890 My Sis Ashley is a VP with Portland and she has so many connections with players as she won 3 titles at UConn and played in the WNBA as well and adding a legend like Sylvia Fowles was a genius idea. Portland is going to do great.

@alanbarcoff I’ve heard that majority don’t want to. Not even for big $. They’d lose it all in taxes living there anyways. TOR is interesting bc what non 🇨🇦 player will we see give in first for $ I may be biased about Portland 😉 but I agree. PF will be contenders from the start. Great org!!

@user1775890 Majority of players probably do not want to play in Canada unless grossly overpaid like lazy Jonquel will be, Portland has Nike right there as a bonus, Portland will make the playoffs, Tempo won't

@Brianna39702494 Ugh I forgot I had McBride in there still 🤦🏻‍♀️ defs not. Lan, Kayla, Phee will be the core of the Lynx 2026 So everything but McBride remains the same lol

@user1775890 I don’t see McBride leaving

Toronto Tempo fab 4? Marina Mabrey ➡️ expansion draft Bridget Carleton ➡️ FA Kia Nurse ➡️ FA Jonquel Jones ➡️ FA Only chance they get Mabrey is from the expansion draft. Would be extremely hard to get her to leave CT as a FA bc she wants to stay there and it’s known.
