Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5305558, member: 6620"] I read this article and there's a bit of a subtleness to look at: Teams are calling Washington and they're listening. Doesn't sound like they're thinking of off-loading Aaliyah E. for any old offer. And I wouldn't, either. She's arguably just as valuable as Austin and/or Iriafen and would be getting major time if one injury hits those two. Unless someone blows the Mystics away, I'd tread very softly here. One of those three could come in handy as a trade chip if, say, Sykes goes away next season. Plus -- and this is big -- those three are all "in pocket": Austin is a RFA after the '26 season, while Edwards isn't an RFA until '28 and Iriafen is still under contract until that year. Those are huge assets for the team. Now, if someone comes to the Mystics GM before the Aug. 7 deadline desperate, nail 'em. Ditto in 2026, when most rosters are going to be a la carte! ;) [/QUOTE]
