Think it was just the right moment. WNBA on a roll, money and prestige now strong, Atlanta a good family fit, and if it goes sideways- he is young enough to get back in college game.
Young always had a flat shot that improved immensely a couple of years ago. Hopefully he can help correct Angel Reese’s form and release. If she can consistently hit midrange I think everything opens up for her offensively
While I hear and agree with you on the mid-range, I think he could -- and should -- initially help Reese more in her wheelhouse: putting up chippies following offensive rebounds (which god knows she's proficient at). Frequently, Reese just puts these right back up regardless of where she's facing, how she's standing, etc. Work on positioning, squaring (if possible) and following-through. Also, I think she's got to get that release point up higher. She gets blocked too often for someone as tall and athletic as she is. Lot of teaching and repetitions will help.
Your last line interested me, so I did some morning-coffee investigating, courtesy of Her Hoop Stats and the details of Richard Cohen.
A wonderful story by a wonderful lady. Thanks for sharing.Fever | By Kelsey Mitchell
The one thing I know for sure, is that whatever comes next, it‘ll suck not having my dad to do it with.
I highly recommend reading this piece from Kelsey Mitchell. It gives fans a better appreciation as to what she was dealing with this season. Per this quote, she's going to test the free agent market:
"When I look back at my journey with the Fever, from 2018 to now, and everything I went through, I feel like it was just supposed to happen this way. And it’s hard to know what the future holds. I’ll be honest, I don’t know what colors I’ll be wearing next year, which just makes me cherish this season and our group even more. I’ve never been through free agency, so I’m looking forward to the opportunity to explore that for the first time in my career and have a say in my future as a basketball player."
My pleasure.
Since the private Storm report hasn't been filed, released and/or leaked, I'm going to post what leading WNBA beat reporters have thus far, which is merely that there is an investigation into the coaching staff that was brought about by "multiple" players. Here are two such articles, one by Annie Costabile -- who broke news of the story -- and Michael Voepel of ESPN who, as you know, covers the W.

As you know, the gist of the story is multiple players allegedly charged that the coaching staff (Quinn, Chatman, etc.) were mistreating them during the season. Neither of the articles makes no mention of specific players at this point, so it's hard to see how any one player is "in the middle of a hot mess" at this point. Unless, of course, that poster has inside information. If so, why not post it?
Storm being investigated for alleged player mistreatment: source
The Storm declined to comment when contacted by the Sun-Times. The Women's National Basketball Players Association confirmed that it was aware of an ongoing investigation of a team but declined to provide details.

With what proof do you have to assume it's related to her? This comes across as petty.
Yikes... Am I a sick b@st@rd that my first reaction was, "Nneka, leave the drama behind and sign with Golden State!"?
Making assumptions on what a media outlet reports is never a good thing, especially nowadays. None of the major media outlets have reported anything specific in comparison to the blog report you shared.
No..... I'm sure it was Nneka's first thought
Well.......Nneka will certainly leave, SDS will continue to..... Either be fiery or self-centerrd and complaining depending on your point of view I supposed. Got to see her act here in Phoenix so my perspective is the latter. What is certain is this this had not made Seattle better and the this I'm referring to is SDS.
Probably because major news outlets invest very very little time (zero) in the offseason of any woman's sport including the WNBA
... Which is wild, because three of those four have won multiple championships, and the fourth just finished his first season. As far as coaching in the W is concerned, given the insane growth and paired insane leadership flux, it's like just like Dickens said in A Tale of Two Cities: "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"...
