Do you think the Fever will choose to protect, NaLyssa or Temi?

 

[NZA]

i bet GS already reached out to smith. that could be why she told paige that purple would look good on them...

I agree with this dude, probably better to protect Nalyssa and trade her for something instead of lose her for nothing. Still young and talented with some value, but let the next team deal with her and her family/Carrington beefing with her teammates like they did with AB/CC.

What I don’t get by protecting a player does that mean they can’t exercise free agency. I would want Mitchell to stay only if she wanted to. It’s weird because while she’s up in the air nalyssa seems like she wouldn’t mind staying despite it being the opposite some fans want

it should really be between samuelson and temi.

You obviously protect Temi the quality bench player and let GS take KLS contract off your hands.

A player can still exercise free agency even if she's protected. It

I had forgot that the Hull had replaced Samuelson in the starting lineup when I made my comment.

Who are the six that you want protected for the Mercury (assuming Taurasi retires)?

that's easy. Griner, Copper, Cloud, Cunningham, and Taylor. I know the stats don't show it, but I think Taylor can be a very good player. Next season we should bring Cunningham off the bench. Taurasi will no longer be there to be her bodyguard on the court protecting her from everyone else. It's really only 5 imo that aren't expendable with Taurasi leaving. We need to go into free agency and draft well. We really need a defensive pg that can hit the open 3. She doesn't have to shoot like Ionescu or Clark, but at least be able to hit an open 3 and defend. And that pg has to make Griner's job easy since she's aging and moving slower than ever. Copper is aging too. I just think we're gong to be bad for a while, but I hope we don't win a single game in the 2026 season.

Just temi…Samuelson has a near max she will most likely be left alone

 

[In The Zone '98]

Shams is definitely gonna drop a bag for the Fever roster
