It means Angel thinks Ariel’s a good teammate for sticking up for Allen and having her back after the scuffle with Hartley. “Been” means Ariel’s been a good teammate for a long time.

Anyone know what’s up with Bria Hartley? She seems to be committing excessively hard fouls and getting into feuds with everyone this year.

I think Sykes wanted out so they were in a tough spot regarding her. They at least get a draft pick next year out of it, but this significantly weakens Washington. Iriafen is a better player and fit than Edwards for a similar role in Washington. It's just not a good fit for Aaliyah with this...

Phoenix thrashes the Fever by 35 led by AT's triple double and Bonner's 23. I wonder what the "Indiana is better without Clark" crowd has to say about tonight's game.

NBA requires 65/82 games played to be eligible for post season awards (about 79% of games played). I don't think the WNBA has a set rule, but if they used a similar one then Pheesa would have to play in at least 35 WNBA games, meaning she can miss up to 5 more games before she'd fall into...

Agree Edwards has a higher ceiling, but I think Edwards lost trade value the minute Washington made it public they were shopping her around. I think it's a good trade for both franchises, but I am surprised Dallas didn't make a massive push for her. They have a lot of great assets 1-3 they...

Aaliyah Edwards has always reminded me of Asjha Jones (physical 4 with face up game, good defender and size but not a shot blocker) and now their career paths are remarkably similar too: -both drafted by Washington, and underutilized -both traded to Connecticut in (or after) their second season...

I think it's Reeve in a runaway (though it irks me she left Collier in a game up 43 when she got injured). Looking at their roster, they really have no business being as good as they are. The only top 5 draft pick on their roster is Kayla McBride and most of their rotation players were second...

I think the only other players in contention right now are Sabrina Ionescu, Alyssa Thomas and Allisha Gray. MVP almost always comes from a team that's top 3-4 in the standings. I don't see A'ja Wilson having any shot at it if Vegas continues to underachieve and be a .500 team. Stewart has...

I wonder if the pundits will now conclude that Minnesota is a more dangerous team without Pheesa than with her

I feel like Paige should be going one on one in isos at least a couple of times per game. Those flashy plays seem to get her into rhythm and she's darn near unguardable 1 on 1 in those spots. Especially in the midrange. It reminds me a lot of Chelsea Gray.

A side question—with the whole league becoming free agents next year, how will the expansion draft work? This past expansion draft was after free agency started, and with the entire league becoming unrestricted free agents, the only players who will be signed to teams are on rookie contracts...

Eh, I wouldn’t bother. Even if Clark comes back and leads them to a championship averaging a triple double, haters will undoubtedly find a way to diminish her.

I gotta say, McDonald is a perfect example of how important “fit” is when determining if someone is going to be a good pro or not. McDonald was waived by LA and likely would’ve been out of the league this year if Clark didn’t get injured. Indiana’s situation with Bonner and Clark’s injury...

Not to mention adding in Natasha Howard which took a minute for her to figure out her role. She’s been playing very well for Indiana. Clark haters will always cling to what they can to diminish her skill and importance. Fact is, Indiana has a very good lineup this year and is still a strong...
