Official Women's Basketball Thread - WNBA Draft Is Monday

[T-K-G]

HES RIGHT.

PAIGE WITH ANGEL
IN MARKET LIKE CHICAGO
WHILE BEING CAREER RIVALS WITH CLARK
WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE LEAGUE
TO ANOTHER LEVEL



​

Isn't it better for Paige to have her own team in the long run so now you working with a 3 team narrative instead of of 2? More markets get a boost if everyone is spread out


HVL w/Reese in Chicago is a good enough storyline for them.

That aint paige team and likely wont be for awhile since arike there

Paige in chicago wouldve been a day 1 ratings bonanza

 

[Mike18jj]

They let my aces get the steal of the draft in Harmoni Turner @Mike18jj my aces are backkkk

She a bucket getter for real, good pick

Fever vs Sky is already a ratings bonanza. Paige in Dallas gives the league another team people want to see. The goal is to maximize growth in different markets and the best way to achieve that is to have the superstars spread out amongst different teams.

If Arike/Paige isn't the right fit Arike can be traded and they'll build around PB. Dallas drafting 3 SG's seems like a preemptive move for an Arike trade. I'm hoping they can draft Azzi next year.

If that was the case, Indy wouldn't have a starting lineup full of stars

NAH

INDIANA STACKED THE DECK.
NYC STACKED THE DECK
VEGAS STACKED THE DECK.
PHX JUST PAIRED 2 ALL WNBA PLAYERS WITH COPPER
LA IS LOWKEY STACKED NOW

ANGEL OUT HERE WITH
A BUNCH OF SCRAP HEAP PLAYERS
AND ANOTHER 2ND YR PLAYER

IF ANGEL IS ON A MID TEAM
THATS NOT GOOD FOR THE LEAGUE.
SAME FOR PAIGE.

That's team building through the draft, trades, and free agency. Y'all wanted Paige to be gifted to you through luck. She ain't walking through that door so I don't even know why it's still a conversation. Your GM will have to do his job like those other GM's did.

Y'all didn't like the Ariel trade, didn't like Chen being gone, didn't want HVL, and I'm not sure how you feel about Sivka but the Eurobasket tournament is this year so she won't be available until mid season. She will miss camp and they might defer her rookie season until 2026.

This season is likely a wash but the bright side is you probably get a top 5 pick next year which should land you Miles, Fudd, or Flau'jae.

What does need to happen this year is seeing Angel and Cardoso gel more. I've never been sold on their fit.

So Indy wasn't gifted two #1 picks in a row

I wanted Paige in Chicargo bc of fit & team need

I also wanted Angel to play with an unselfish G who could get her easy looks and stretch the floor

Indy stacking the deck is not good for the league, competitively...but the league will do everything they can to get Indy a title quickly

Sivka was a good pick...but trading for Atkins made no sense while being in position to get Citron and still being able to get Sivka later

HVL is a 5'7 SG...at best, she's a solid bench player imo

Angel needs a stronger supporting cast...my hope is that we outperform expectations and sign a cpl of strong FAs next yr to pair with our #1 overall pick, Azzi Fudd

Angel & Azzi will be BOX OFFICE

I'm speaking it into existence

Y'all got lucky because you never should've gotten Angel. She should've gone to Washington at #6

Indy had a easier path to a rebuild because they drafted a big then a PG. Y'all drafted two bigs who didn't compliment each other in the same draft. That's where you messed up because now you have to build a roster around a problem you created. This draft was all about fixing that. If you had gotten Rickea and Angel you'd be in a better position.

Your roster was so badly built Angel had to stand behind the 3 point line to give Kamilla room to operate

With all the G talent coming out next yr, we're still in position to get a G that would've went top 3 or 4 in this draft

It would benefit us to stagger Angel & Cardoso's mins

I still think post players rule the league but yes Rickea & Angel would've been a better pairing

Rickea, Angel & Paige win 3-4 chips minimum

League don't wanna see Chicargo on top
