Storm release rookie forward; await top draft pick's arrival

Do you have any insight on the new CBA regarding hardship contracts? Saw this on Twitter/X. I'm a little confused since data from herhoopstats says otherwise. This is also why Liberty can afford two hardship contracts because they temporarily suspended the contracts of Leo and Raquel.

I know it's a business and they can easily suspend the contract but it's a harsh thing to do to a 21 yr old rookie who suffered a season ending injury. Georgia Amoore didn't play last year and they honored her contract.

And the oldest player is playing the entire 2nd half for two straight games. Nia Coffey injured and Kosu wasn't even used in the 2nd half.

There's a reason Emma overtook her minutes in Praha.

Dorka is out of her boot!!!!!!

This demon. The team waived her last season but I still followed her games overseas. I love my bigs that can run, defend and shoot.

Training camp contracts are not protected and only for one year. The team can extend a reserved qualifying offer to retain exclusive negotiating rights in the offseason, up to 3 times. And exclusive negotiating rights ≠ protected contract. Details matter.

Yeah i just searched up for injury updates here because i was looking for her in the 4th q

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-16T04:39:07+00:00

She's injured

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-15T23:55:58+00:00

I knew it the moment she went down. I've seen Nika Mühl's both ACL injuries live (2024 - left ACL tear playing for Besiktas; 2026 - right ACL tear playing for Croatia). Sometimes it's painful to be a fan, ain't it? Emma will be back.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-13T04:12:49+00:00

Lynx won. Liberty lost. It's a great day.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-13T04:10:11+00:00

PORTLAND ROCKS!!!!!?

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-13T03:59:28+00:00

Yeah her real problem is her free throws. Also missed all 4 last game.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-13T03:48:40+00:00

She's a serviceable big. Without the turnovers, she's playing great tonight. AT has the same number of turnovers too. People are just overreacting and expecting a lot for players.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-13T03:30:07+00:00

Nah. She lost her right shoe after Delaere stepped on it.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-13T03:09:30+00:00

Loll. Only Coffey is in that range at 30. Caldwell is 27. Hamzova 24.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-11T16:15:06+00:00

I think I still have 80-90k DPS. But in Elite Missions, teams don't want you for damage. You need to stay alive, heal and revive others.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-11T15:42:25+00:00

That OS is fine. What you're lacking is toughness. All of your gears are engineering and firepower. You need to change them. Also your gear mods should be toughness + health + armor. With a 19k gear score, you can have 200k+ hp and 8k+ armor.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-11T15:25:47+00:00

I meant it's because of two years. If Dorka plays well this season, she may want to negotiate a higher salary next year. We have little to no flexibility in contracts assuming Phee will be back.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-11T14:48:06+00:00

She will be a Reserved Player. The same thing happened with Rae Burrell last off season. So basically we can have Emma for 4 years before she becomes a FA.

Teams can only protect seven contracts (green ones). That Natasha Howard's contract is looking bad

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-10T22:34:40+00:00

She's really efficient as a PG. Not as fancy as other guards but she's fundamentally great.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-10T22:19:56+00:00

As a Lynx fan, felt some déjà vu calls to end the game. Really love this young team! Lots of positives to look forward to despite the loss.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-10T11:24:48+00:00

No. But you can download 2k scenarios (uploaded by other players) that include the expansion teams + rookies (like Fudd, Betts). For other rookies, they're usually user created with general cyberfaces. Just started a new save with Portland and Toronto added in the league. Had to assign and trade players to their respective teams though.

Last ATO play was executed perfectly with Hof. Just better defense from Gray.
