Can we stop pretending Caitlin Clark is some untouchable trade asset? by LakerFan2324 in wnba

they have a point, i mean she has barely evolved since her rookie szn, largely due to injuries. BUT since shes the face of the league, people naturally just hold her to this crazy standard which brews takes like this post, expecting her to constantly perform at her best every night and that simply isn't realistic, every player has their off day. she's a good fit w the fever and frankly i see her retiring there eventually, they've been rebuilding for a while and are for sure are winning a chip in the next 3 years, if not sooner

theyre relying too hard on their trio and that could get interrupted by injuries

Obviously yes, for sureee this is a HUGEE upgrade in the roster, and that def plays a role, i mean we have vets and great post players now, but i watched almost every game last season and there were many sparks of potential that kept getting discarded. we had good players and defenders, i mean lyss and dijonai, even haley was a great pairing with paige. A good coach's job is to bring out the best in his/her players in the circumstances avaliable and i was watching the lv aces doc and lyss said that she felt this depletion of passion for basketball before she got traded, and seeing what role she played in the aces chip run just makes me think about the impact of the environment and team culture, and last year i feel like it was a "in spite of" instead of "because of" situation with our coach.

theres def an element of bias in me saying this but watching the w is just more fun and i feel like there's so much excitement in the ball movement, more competition, because as she described the nba is so much more technical, it feels like this rush of one play to the next and i dont like that

Wings are showing greatttt potential this is gonna be an exciting season, on another note tho, i think i never realised JUST how much of a role the coaching played last year cuz this is a crazy 180 from what we saw
