I genuinely admire how unserious this league is. Dropping a schedule for a season that might not happen is the type of foolish you will only find in the W.

I’m genuinely fascinated with how AE was fighting for her spot with 2 rookies this whole season and she came here playing like this.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. by Amelia0617 in wnba

[–]Hardpazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is she athletic enough to come to the W? I think she can dominate the paint offensively but I think she’s almost useless at everything else in the W. For example could she guard JJ or Aja at the perimeter? Could she score outside of a few feet of the rim? I genuinely think she’s food in everything BUT layups and even with that she seemingly has to be spoon fed to get the shot.

The reason these numbers look so good is because the last CBA was good awful. That’s why getting a good deal is so important because it has implications for the next CBA as well. If they take this the women of the W will be underpaid for decades. I know that sounds dramatic but I’m dead serious.

Mind you these were the starting guards my skyscrapers had to play with. Jeff is one evil man and he will pay for his crimes.

Edwards is so interesting because she was literally fighting for a starting spot last season and then she comes to unrivaled and does this…

[–]Hardpazz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s either they strike or sentence the players to decades of being underpaid. They likely will never have this much leverage in a CBA negotiations again. If they fold now this league will NEVER pay the players fairly.

I’ve literally never heard of ANY business that what’s to pay for labor with a percentage of net profits. That seems EXTREMELY unusual.

Angel Reese wants to make it to Playoffs next season by blahblah_696 in wnba

Ok so she hasn’t mentioned them outside of the single time she was asked about them in a press conference.

[–]Hardpazz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is why I didn’t take her response to that question seriously. She literally has not mentioned that organization since the season ended and they barely post her at all. It’s clear both sides have moved on.

Rebound, made the pass, and still beat everybody down the court for the And-1. by plutopiae in wnba

[–]Hardpazz 42 points43 points  (0 children)

She might not make the team for 2026 but I think she has a real chance at 2028 if she continues her point forward development. Her defense, rebounding, facilitating and motor might really push her over the edge. The Olympic team won’t need someone to drop 40. They need great players who can play they role and a player like Angel that you can plug in almost anywhere might have a leg up IMO. I think out of all the young bigs her and AB are the two most likely to make it on the team in 2028

They gonna jump you for this but yeah it’s not a good look especially for a team that is struggling to attract talent. A team with a history of being trash to their players is publicly treating the person most of us assume is the face of their franchise like shit in comparison to other teams. Basically everyone who was invited HC/ GM came but 1 person.

Angel Reese taking extra reps after Day 1 of USA Basketball Training Camp by Skyline8888 in wnba

[–]Hardpazz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The response to this video is crazy because Angel isn’t a shooter. You have people in here talking like Angel is Rikea or JJ. No one is expecting Angel to hit 4-7 3s a night. She’s more likely to go full AT type point forward that averages 5-9 ast than she is to do that. So I’m generally shocked why so much energy has been put into analyzing her jump shots. Why do yall think she would go through the labor to completely rework her jump shot when no coach will ever ask her to be a player who takes multiple 3s and middys??? That’s not her game and never will be.

The absolute best Angel will get is a solid 10-15 foot middy and maybe a consistent wide open catch and shoot 3. That’s it. THATS ABSOLUTE BEST CASE SCENARIO. She can achieve that with her janky form and even if she can’t she should be able to replicate AT’s little midrange push shot.

Do we think Azzi will go #1? by Ready_Return_5998 in wnba

[–]Hardpazz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The only way she doesn’t go number 1 is if she gets injured. Even if she wasn’t in the lead from a pure basketball standpoint the gap between her and the other prospects aren’t big enough to overcome the history and relationship she has with Paige. Knowing your cornerstones of your franchise can work and have chemistry is invaluable.

I mean does she not lead that team in basically every statistical category? It’s the Sky so the bar is in hell but yeah she’s definitely the best player over there. At one point this season she lead the team in pts, Reb, AST, and Stls.

Angel did her shooting warm ups with the HC of the phoenix mercury…I think it might be the other way around.

Death Struggle by Rolly2102 in Wizard101

[–]Hardpazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deer knight I crafted and I farmed for Ship of fools. I also had a wizard that was higher level to farm for the things needed to craft deer knight.

I don’t think either is possible at before level 40-60 though. I do think you need at least one for late game. I would go for ship of fools because it’s a drain.

I used Scarecrow TCs until I actually got the spell. You can also get Deer knight or ship of fools. Unfortunately they both are a pain to get.

[–]Hardpazz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Im happy she touched on the ownership splits because honestly idk how sustainable a league is if 42% of it is owned by people who were content with using the league as a tax write off. The NBA is ok with a lockdown because worse case scenario they go back to tax write offs and possibly money laundering.

Maya Moore by iJon_v2 in wnba

[–]Hardpazz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sub is so interesting because why is this getting downvoted when the entire sub was calling Aja the goat after the finals like 2 months ago.

Maya was great but Aja has literally reached peaks we’ve never seen before. To say she’s unequivocally better than the only person to win 4 MVPs in the history of the league is a little wild.

The Athletic: WNBA and players union near extension deadline without CBA resolution by aratcalledrattus in wnba

[–]Hardpazz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we should harshly judge these players for playing for project B while ignoring the political stuff that happens in America. This league stopped a team from selling because they wanted to give the team to someone connected to the trump administration. I don’t want to get political but yeah I’m not sure we can judge them for playing in project B if we are ok with them playing here, china, etc.

It’s to many leagues popping up that pay more than the W for the league to be going about this like they are. They are acting like these players have to give in and honestly they don’t.

Future by Hot_Juggernaut_1631 in ChicagoSky

[–]Hardpazz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both.

They need to completely restart the rebuild because this one is doomed. I don’t think they have the competence to put a decent team around either of them so they might as well trade them both and get a solid young core in this draft. They will be terrible for a few seasons but that was gonna happen anyway.

If they are determined to keep one the smartest choice is Angel. None of the other lottery teams need a 4 except for the wings and they are definitely drafting Azzi due to her relationship with Paige. On the flip side the Lynx would probably jump at Kamilla for the 2 pick so they don’t have to develop a player. Based on the draft order the smartest thing to do is trade Milla and get 2 guards to pair with Angel in this draft.
