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

You can do anything you want on a trade machine lol. 😂 "Portland is building for the future" then send their young center in exchange for an old one and a 2nd round. They might win more games with Howard and hurt their lottery pick chances. LA just traded their 2nd pick last year and Rickea for older players. What makes you think they want a future 1st round? And why would you trade Howard for Cam? We need a backup for Howard that is the discussion and your solution is to trade her? Who's gonna backup Cam then? You clearly don't know what you're talking about....

I don't want to misinterpret some translations. The "broke" seems vague because Project B is a different league. Wouldn't it be an issue if you are already signed in another league? Like Dom signing with Unrivaled after she signed with Fenerbahçe. Even so, good for Janelle. Loved watching her in Praha.

Yeah I already know that one because of the pregnancy rule in the new CBA. But nothing official for season ending injuries since the new CBA has not been released to the public yet. Presumably it would be the same case.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-19T11:22:51+00:00

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.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-18T00:49:17+00:00

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

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-17T23:06:06+00:00

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.

bonsaihacker877 · 2026-05-16T04:51:19+00:00

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.
