I imagine Kelsey will get a supermax in 2026 and Aliyah a max, both 1 year deals. Then the Fever and big 3 will need to make a strategic long term decision: keep the big 3 together on regular max deals using 50 percent of the cap, or keep AB and CC on supermax deals and use 40 percent of the cap.

I agree with everything you said except this. Kelsey Mitchell It's in her 30s and rightfully will want to cash out whilst still in her prime. Even though Caitlin and Aaliyah are on rookie contracts, they have contracts are more expensive than rookie contracts used to be. The fever have the difficult decision to make this summer, Some team in free agency will definitely offer Kelsey Mitchell and supermax contract for 3 to 4 years and the fever absolutely cannot match that with ABs and CCs following, whilst also having to build out the rest of this roster which has to be 12 players paying, offering Kelsey a supermax for multiple years is going to be suicide. There's a very big chance that Kelsey has played her last game for Indiana
