There was a big shake-up with the Fever this week, as general manager [URL='https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/33288740/tamika-catchings-steps-roles-indiana-fever-gm-vp-basketball-operations'][B]Tamika Catchings[/B][/URL][B] stepped down [/B]and former Indiana coach [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_Dunn'][B]Lin Dunn[/B][/URL] was named interim GM.

It adds up to Indiana having the Nos. 2, 7 and 10 picks in 2022, and a [URL='https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/33289704/why-tamika-catchings-struggled-gm-next-indiana-fever']chance for Dunn to help jump-start the Fever[/URL] back toward the perennial playoff contenders they were for so long. I hope Dunn is able to do something to light a fire under this franchise. The Fever and the Atlanta Dream have been the perennial door mats of the league. Catchings stepping down was a win for the Fever. Dunn is most known for being the first coach [B]and general manager[/B] for the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Storm']Seattle Storm[/URL]. She has more than 500 wins to her name. NaLyssa Smith will be a huge get for whoever gets her. I think she'll fit in and be an asset right away. She's a can't miss.
