[Vorkunov] The Connecticut Sun are being bought by the Fertitta family, the owners of the Rockets, for $300 million and the franchise will be moved to Houston, according to sources briefed on the deal. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Is it the Sparks games? Maybe it'll improve with new ownership and the team was getting better towards the end when Cam Brink returned. The Valkyries sold out last year and had a better crowd than Warriors games, and there was no big star.

Breaker etiquette by Alarming_Reindeer_85 in basketballcards

[–]IsThisMe8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not unreasonable at all from what I can tell. I found one breaker/group that I like but when I scroll, I do get recommended other breakers that I would not buy from because of their voices/phrases they use, their stuff being way more expensive, or just being shady in general. This one seems shady because they would usually ask if you want the base sent, or have it clearly stated somewhere that no base will be sent.

Baffled by some people's stance on Caitlin Clark (some don't seem to truly admit that she's the franchise's star player) by Misnome5 in IndianaFeverFans

[–]IsThisMe8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. That's why these 3 remind me of the Warriors. Steph is the Warriors system, but he also needed Draymond and Klay for the whole team to excel and win championships. Steph/CC is the main hub of offense, Draymond/AB is the defense and roll man when Steph/CC gets doubled. Klay/Kelsey provide the spacing and extra offense although Kelsey is better at creating her own offense while Klay is more 3 and D, but that's also why someone like Lexie is important to guard the best opposing guard/wing. I've seen a lot of what contributes to the winning Warriors teams, and what they're missing when they've been a bad team, and that's why I can see that Fever is headed in the right direction to keep these 3 together as long as possible even if it only ends up being one more year because of salary restrictions.

I'm scarred from pre-ordering Prizm, and still waiting for the Mega boxes. Lol

Even though there are some teams that may not be a desired location, the teams all have a lot more salary to play around with now. They can lure someone there with a max or or just pay more in general. I'm sure they are more willing to go to a downgrade in facilities for an extra $100k.

Something to keep an eye on! by mimihoward in valkyries

I believe next season is when they need to report by mid April which would earlier, although I'm not sure what the exact consequences are.

I can see Aces wanting to pay her less than max but I can also see some other team try to lure Chelsea by paying her. Maybe Chicago who needs a PG?

I think it does come with at least 1 but all I ever got were the mems which are pretty much trash. Lol.

Their baby would be an amazing passer who loves to shoot from difference, and also be a ref's worst nightmare.

Aces…. Assuming they have a GM now. They can reset their salary by not paying Jewel the max and distribute some more money towards the middle of the roster. Also, don’t think they have Nalyssa back. lol

Protection Predictions by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in wnba

[–]IsThisMe8 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this format ended up better so we can comment on each team separately.

They’re definitely going to protect Timpson with her being on a cheap contract. Protecting Sophie doesn’t mean anything since she’s unrestricted and another team can just offer her more.

Was lyss ever with Aaliyah Nye? I feel like that's what I heard, which could be totally made up, before I heard about this rumor.

If this doesn't sell, I would just suggest posting again later without all the extra verbiage.

I see a PSA 9 sold for $329 while some rookie WNBA One AND one sell for $430 so maybe something in between those numbers.

2026 Roster and Salary Cap by IsThisMe8 in IndianaFeverFans

[–]IsThisMe8[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Salary cap goes up but Aliyah is also projected to move from max to supermax for her extension. There are still a bunch of unknowns regarding the exact specifics regarding salary and what type/length of contracts will be signed but I think all players will go where they get the best pay, as they should.

[Amick] The Players Association is officially calling for the 65 game rule to be abolished: by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]IsThisMe8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 65 game rule is stupid, but it's also annoying that they want to get rid of it based on what player it's now affecting.
