A big part of what makes an enjoyable podcast is the feeling that you are just listening in on a conversation between two people shooting the breeze. That is what you get this week when Mechelle Voepel and David Siegel discuss the events surrounding the opening of WNBA camps this weekend.
- USA Basketball camp, the changing of the guard and the difficulties involved with the aging of storied heroes of USA Basketball
- New York Liberty’s decision to hire Isiah Thomas, a known sexual harassment purveyor: what it means, possible reasons behind the hiring and the incredibly difficult position James Dolan has put the WNBA in with this decision
- Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson’s arrests and the failure of USA Basketball and the WNBA to take action on the two young stars to date
- Comings and goings, mostly goings: Diana Taurasi, Lauren Jackson, Janel McCarville known to be out for the season plus Candace Parker and Sylvia Fowles out for part or all of the season (no one is sure). What does all this mean, what can teams do, and what about core designations?
