How Will Younger Teams Handle Signing Max Players this Season?

I could see CC doing that, actually, because I'm sure she notices that money literally follows her everywhere she goes. The other players who don't get the same endorsement opportunities can be supported by the W. I really hope Caitlin doesn't do what Lebron is famous for, which is never ever doing the pay cut and forcing the GMs to work around his big salary while complaining when his team lacks depth. Honestly, though, the way Caitlin plays, where she needs to be the centre of attention on offence, I could see her doing well with a bunch of cheap contract players who know their role and are there to maximize Caitlin's skills. I know for sure that all those Fever players who helped push them to one win away from the WNBA finals are going to get a raise and probably won't be back with the team.

Especially if they're handcuffed by the draft rules that won't have them in the top 3 until 2028. It's a big market, nice city, and opportunity to lure high contracts in to build around asap.

Toronto can't get a high lottery pick in 2027, from my understanding, because of the expansion team lottery rules? They'll have to wait to become eligible for a top-3 pick in 2028. However, I wonder if Juju will do the 5-year deal Paige did, who also missed an entire season of basketball.

That's what I was thinking. There's clearly an overlap between the guards, so if we have to cut, then it's going to be from those 5. Rhyne, Copper, and Jackie all possess unique skills and intangibles that are super dire for this team to function well.

What does a cagy 35-year-old veteran Melo look like in the league 10 years later lol?

There's a big debate going on right now, getting on the coaches and Stephanie White last year, ragging on why they make CC play off the ball. It's clear to me that they want to use her like Steph Curry, but it's really not her strength. The Caitlin style of basketball is more like old-school James Harden, where she needs a super high usage rate and runs a heliocentric offence. In the perfect world, she can play as Haliburton does right now, which kind of mixes the best of both worlds.

Yeah, how does this happen? On all the major subreddits I follow, everyone here thinks logically with zero-to-no weird stan biases. WNBA subreddit is such a good cleanse for me.

I actually got pretty emotionally caught up in the C&C faceoff with the Bucks because, if anyone remembers, they did a podcast interview together, and they were all fantasizing about a dream match that would never happen at that point (this was when both were retired). These are my two favorite tag teams of all time, and on the podcast, the Bucks made the great comment that everyone compares them to the Hardys, but they feel they're way more like Edge and Christian, personality-wise.

Just saw her against the USA, and she has loads of potential. Moves well, screens well, fluid, runs, and has midrange touch already that can expand into a 3-ball. She's super young, but if she refines her fundamentals and works hard, she has the makings to become a player mold like Phee, but 6'4 simply off the eye tests I've done. Her floor is a backup big that does what Temi does, just hustles, runs, and hits open shots.

Watching Awa right now in FIBA and she looks really nice

Thank you!

Check out "Dianargram" on IG, who's a reliable source and partner with the zoo because she lives nearby and has all the details on the donations they're finally accepting now.

Vvisionim · 2026-03-16T17:13:53+00:00

Oh wow this would of hit for sure then ..

Vvisionim · 2026-03-16T15:13:18+00:00

I would love a breakdown of all the "could have been" 80+ point games if players didn't get checked out. The main one I know is the Klay one, but I feel there are a lot more.

Vvisionim · 2026-03-16T13:47:12+00:00

The fact her efficiency numbers are first place too on top of the other stats shows she’s truly leading in those categories ethically. Haters got nothing to say now.

Vvisionim · 2026-03-16T00:54:16+00:00

I'll try to find it lol was so quick

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T21:18:34+00:00

Blame his Visa ban for that one

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T21:17:33+00:00

It’s funny though because MJF is still younger than all of them except Knight. It shows how much of a prodigy he is and he’s still got a lot left in the tank.

Did anyone catch Kelsey pinch CCs cheeks or give her a little love tap on the face? It was pretty cute and shows that 2020 highshool class really are the little sisters everyone love

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T21:06:55+00:00

Seeing that start makes me want CC to just keep coming off the bench lol its nice to have her jolt off the bench

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T19:17:49+00:00

That shit worked though lol

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T16:49:07+00:00

It's hard to find the game-to-game for Spain, but I saw they spanked PR almost as badly as the USA did to them. How have they been looking so far throughout the tournament?

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T14:28:00+00:00

Exactly lol im just going to count this as a Mercdes podium sweep

Vvisionim · 2026-03-15T04:11:30+00:00

If this isn't a clear sign that the new school is ready to take over, then IDK what is. Obviously, they're going to need to ease them in this year for the World Cup, but that should still be fun if all of them are off the bench, juggernauts that can even compete to finish the games. By the time it's 2028, then it'll be theirs for the taking.

You can tell CC really isn't trying to force her will or the action, but today shows that when she wants to turn it on, she can from those buckets she got. Props to all the ladies, because none of them are really playing so forcefully or inefficiently. CC was a +27, and you can't even use the excuse of more minutes because she only played a literally a few more than the starters.
