They are retiring

Tough way to end one's career. Commend them on their authenticity and speaking up about what they went through at Cal.

Now we need a new thread for the playoffs!

Aces and Lynx for the title.

Is there any chance Lin Dunn retires after this season? That seems like the only way the Fever don't blow the Clark-Boston rookie contract window... The Fever FA tax should be less this winter, but I still expect we'll go for an overpriced player. Not referring to Mitchell--they should definitely re-sign her.

I don’t think so. As recently as this morning she was quoted in an ESPN article saying that this is “Year 3 of her rebuild plan” and that the Fever are right where they need to be. I like Dunn’s attitude and spirit but I think it’s undeniable that the Fever have made some puzzling if not outright bad front office decisions in her time there.

On a similar note, I don’t think Christie Sides should lose her job after guiding Indiana to .500 and the playoffs, but I still feel question if she’s the right person to lead Indiana back to glory. Certain things, like not giving Clark the ball in final-shot moments (when she has a storied history of making those shots), have me wondering.

I agree. To expand on your points, I believe they will get some leeway because of what has been accomplished since they joined the team. Considering where Indiana was just three years ago, this could be seen as significant progress.

I believe Clarendon has a triple double early on during this past season

I was so geeked for Bridget when she made that clutch shot! If Minny and Connecticut square up in a playoff series. It is going to be epic!

When.......

Natasha Howard not wasting time in establishing her approach to free agency.

Would love to see her back with Stewie in New York.

Natasha ain't messing around! She knows her worth and what she brings to a team.
