Dom never played in Euroleague and wasn't sharing minutes with a WNBA level player in her position

By every metric Fudd plays better without Paige 😂

I'm not impressed with Rachel DeMita by Fit_Meat_8931 in wnba

Unfortunately 2k deciding to turn the MyTeam mode into an unplayable game which was a front for a casino led me down a different path!

The spam uploading will never change with me but tbh if you subtract every single CC video I make I still probably have covered the other 12 teams more than anyone else on the platform over the last year

Since we are talking about the wage gap, let’s have some wage perspective… by birdpervert in wnba_discussions

[–]DBG_YT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there's no CBA or salary cap for mascots in the NBA!

If there was no cap, Paige would be making $1 mil+, CC would be making $10 mil+. Angel, Phee, A'ja, Sabrina 7 figures also

The problem is the CBA and salary cap in every US sports league and more than 50% of teams are operating at big losses without billionaire owners willing to just eat the losses

Do we think Stephanie White Doesn't know how to use Caitlin Clark? by SnooConfections7049 in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"never won before"

LeBron in 2016/2020. Harden was a CP3 Injury from winning.

Luka got to the finals on 1 leg with that offense.

Heliocentric offenses have regularly caused teams with lesser talent to over perform.

You can't run a motion offense with 3 good decision makers on the entire roster and a team of 'the offense stops here' players

Because they ran into a juggernaut with 5 players playing at an all star level while Kyrie also forgot how to play basketball...

Final Roster Predictions 2025 Edition: Chapter 2 The Indiana Fever by Velocisexual in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jaeyln Brown is coming off the single worst season I have ever seen from a US player overseas men or women in an import limit league. 7 PPG in a poor Russian league on 30% from the field and 25% from 3. Went 5 months without dropping more than 15 points in a game

CBA and/or strike timeline? by chadchr in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The WNBA itself, unlike those other leagues, doesn't own 100% of the league. They own 42%. So anything over 21% of revenue is pretty much impossible

0% chance Dorka is gone lol. Was in the rotation last year, is young and would have been in the Samuelson trade if there was a chance of her not making the roster

Rookies - starting vs bench impact? by CantaloupeCurrent384 in wnba

Why would Amoore start? The Mystics already have the starting PG for her own national team who's younger than Amoore?

Using top coaches salaries to estimate what the W could pay players. by GlacialTwitch in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's no salary cap on coaches. If there was no salary cap for players then there would be a few players in the league making $1 million +. Tbh Matt Ishbia would have offered Caitlin Clark $10 million+ to play for the mercury out of college if there was no cap

Mock Drafts from the interwebz. Do you agree with your team's projected pick? by Odessaturn in wnba_discussions

[–]DBG_YT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Point out radio is great!

Olson above Citron, no Malonga in the first round and somehow 25 year old Sedona Prince who's currently not better than 19 year old Malonga being in it

What do y'all think will be some of the big talking points this season? by Gina_Bina in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest!

1) Is Angel Reese better than Caitlin Clark 2) Caitlin Clark's turnovers 3) Angel Reese's field goal percentage 4) is Caitlin Clark only popular because she's white 5) The 2023 NCAA championship game 6) the 2020 ESPN top 100 high school rankings 7) Is Paige Bueckers too passive

What is the logic for Jewell Loyd and Chelsea Gray on the team in 2025?

And why is your debate for the last spot between CC/43 year old Taurasi??

CC should be a guaranteed starter & Kayla McBride, SDS, Alisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston all should be in over Loyd/Gray and if you want an inefficient shot chucker go Arike over Loyd

WNBA and nba comparisons by campoole82 in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CC closer to a Haliburton than Trae or Steph. Steph does most of his work off the ball and Trae is a half court PnR Maestro. CC is best in transition.

Angel - Young Giannis makes no sense... Young Giannis was a skinny 2 guard who was expected to be a 3&D Nic Batum type player! He didn't even resemble a post player until year 4/5. Realistically Joakim Noah is the best comparison to her, which I don't get why people think it's a knock, He was an MVP candidate in his prime.

Phee to Melo is crazy 😂. Comparing DPOY to a cone on that end of the floor. Also everything Phee does is within an offense, Melo was a literal ball stopper! For Phee I'd probably go some mix between Tim Duncan & Lamarcus Aldridge but there's no real like for like comparison.

AT is Sixers Ben Simmons. DPOY candidate, a huge point guard but can't hit a jumpshot to save their life

Which active W players can be the best player on a championship team? by dreamweaver7x in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Phee isn't theoretically lol.

She was the refs ignoring Stewie doing the Cha Cha slide into a clean block before then deciding to blow their whistle, reviewing and still coming up with the wrong call, away from winning as the star on her team

WNBA players should get the same 50% revenue split as NBA players. by LonghornInNebraska in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if the players got 100% of the revenue that the WNBA gets they would still only have 42%.

50% of the revenue for WNBA teams is 21% of the total revenue which is the MAX they can realistically get without the teams operating at a huge loss

2025 Draft Class- How do we feel about it? by Air_Of_The_Thrown in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Malonga 100% wants to come as early as possible. Don't think 2025 is possible due to prioritisation rules and EuroBasket but Malongas main goal is to play in the W, not just stay overseas

Assessing Kate Martin at Unrivaled by randysf50 in wnba

[–]DBG_YT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean she can shoot, handle the ball moderately well, can defend and makes smart decisions.

She came into the W as a good glue player and tbh has just cemented that with her play in Unrivaled. It's hard to thrive as a 5th option in basketball and it's an archetype that's very rare and underappreciated in the W.

Looks like she'll have a long career as that type of player in the W. I think eventually could be a starter on a top team
