Interesting plot twist. 🤔

I’m gonna try to help you 😆

It takes a village. 😉

It's interesting to see the reactions to the Sky's moves. Some see it as they're trying to win now, where others are making jokes about how they're mismanaging their draft picks. One comment implying the GM is the first to ever rebuild another team's roster had me in tears. 🤣

With all due respect, I can't believe that the Mystics were able to get a number 1 for Sheldon.

Mindboggling. Especially considering it's for the 2028 draft which is insanely stacked.

I hope she goes to the Valks, she'd be star there. In Vegas/Minnesota I don't see her being a standout.

That depends, if she’s ring shopping, then the Aces should be her pick.

 

[Stagnant]

I see gabby going to Minnesota. I don’t see the aces having the financial ability to make the deal. And the fact that the aces are even included makes me think winning now is a priority. So, that swings things to the Lynx for me.

This is the same gabby Williams that has been really vocal about the wnba not paying European players enough to basically make it worth their while. And she’s all of a sudden going to take a vet minimum??? I’m sorry. I can’t believe that.

These players fought really hard for this cba. It better not be Vegas.

I was about to say she has a couple of them but I just looked and saw she was in Chicago/Seattle for the opposite years they won.

Is she the type of player who cares that she's a stand out though? Not saying she doesn't deserve to be, but that doesn't come across as a priority for her from my perspective.

All three teams are good fits in different ways for her. I think which team gives her the best chance at a title will be a factor. While the Valks are in their second season, they showed fans they're competitive. Add some established all-star veterans, who knows?

Interesting plot twist. 🤔

On one hand, if the Mystics like Austin, just sign her.

However, if they're not so sure in her or the contact terms: It's too bad that Austin didn't sign the offer sheet one day later (Sunday). If so, the Mystcs could've waited until after the draft to make see if they could get a top big with that #4 choice before deciding what to do. That said, maybe Austin and/or her management team knew that.... 😏

Carleton officially signed. Now for the rest of the chips to fall for the Fire.

 

[GamecockFam]

Monique Billings to the Fever seems like a move to find someone who can backup Boston. I cannot picture them on the floor together unless they're trying to counter the size on another team.

Mindboggling. Especially considering it's for the 2028 draft which is insanely stacked.

I wouldn't go far as to say insanely stacked draft but trading a 1st round pick for Sheldon is a questionable move.

 

[darrell]

Another interesting move by the Sky.

By “interesting”, do we mean “idiotic”? If so, agreed!

Excellent news to see.

Pretty happy for BC. New team. New start. I am wishing BC all the best.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Excellent news to see.

Woo woo. Glad I'll get plenty of use out of my VB jersey the next few seasons! There are few better stories in the W than VB getting cut from CT (one of the worst franchise teams) and now being the most improved keystone of the hottest new franchise.

 

[JellyBean]

Excellent news to see.

Love it!! Veronica is a hardworking player that has found the right team, situation, coach, and playing environment. Best wishes, VB!!

 

[JDuro]

C'mon Aces. Get it done! 🤞

 

[TerpWomenFan]

This.

Pretty happy for BC. New team. New start. I am wishing BC all the best.

Agreed. Similar to the comments on Burton's battle to stick with a team, Carleton had a similar path.

Cut by Connecticut. Signed by Minnesota to be more of a bench player to earning a starting role. Her hometown of Chatham must be so elated to see her now as the face of a franchise.

OMG! I can't wait for the Boston/Harris reunion! 😍
