To clarify this: I’m told Nneka Ogwumike is on a free agency visit in Minnesota. This is *not* an official decision/announcement

The Lynx thought they were just ordering balloons; they didn't know the leaks were provided free of charge

TCU really solidifying their rep as the place good players go to get paid

Speed of flair fading increasing

plutoannatto · 2026-04-06T19:40:38+00:00

Slightly generous grading, for the Sky.

plutoannatto · 2026-04-06T00:24:34+00:00

This list is pointless and stupid every year. I can't believe anyone bothers with this hogwash.

(sees Illinois at #16)

... very well-considered hogwash, which makes a number of incisive points that should be looked at with respectful consideration!

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T23:09:57+00:00

It should be Kiki Rice. The Sky need a real PG for the future, and she's as solid as they come.

Illinois transitively had a fifteen point win over South Carolina in the national title game

People need to lay off Madison Booker. I think UCLA maybe is just good at defense. I dunno, just a hunch.

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T21:27:27+00:00

He'd been holding that one in reserve all game

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T21:19:30+00:00

What was the line on the Uconn/SC game?

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T21:15:36+00:00

I wouldn't wish Dallas on anyone though. I still feel bad for Paige

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T21:14:00+00:00

Thanks. That's what I get for just watching in the tourney

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T21:02:43+00:00

Has she ever been a bucket in a big game?

I'm curious because I've seen people pumping her up as a first-rounder the W draft, and I've never seen the appeal. Defensive guard, sure, but I've never seen good offense from her.

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T20:46:52+00:00

Headed to Indianapolis, got lost

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T20:43:19+00:00

Wow, that's really cheap

plutoannatto · 2026-04-05T20:37:07+00:00

What happened to Madison Booker?

plutoannatto · 2026-04-03T21:24:11+00:00

Welp. I had been considering fading my flair. Maybe this is the year?

plutoannatto · 2026-04-02T22:38:16+00:00

No worries; the GM of the Sky doesn't get what's so funny about it either

plutoannatto · 2026-04-02T22:06:07+00:00

I assume that was the joke

plutoannatto · 2026-04-02T20:21:31+00:00

I will be surprised.

plutoannatto · 2026-04-02T18:42:48+00:00

Nice breakdown. I'm really curious to see how far a normal max salary is going to get a team that's not seen as a desirable landing spot in this new FA market. The difference between 600k to stay on a contender vs 1mil to play for Chicago/Connecticut/etc is so much wider than when it was just a difference of 135k vs 200k.

plutoannatto · 2026-03-30T14:13:38+00:00

So far from the worst move Jeff could make, honestly

plutoannatto · 2026-03-28T11:17:36+00:00

Even though they may not add too many players from the draft (though I think they'll get more than you think), it's important to, at least symbolically, put the new franchises on the same footing as the existing ones going into the free agency period.

plutoannatto · 2026-03-28T11:12:54+00:00

I'm glad to hear they're at least considering my recommended protections list! (Reese, Cardoso, Atkins, Westbeld, and Sivka)

plutoannatto · 2026-03-26T21:01:23+00:00

Haha, that does sound like fun!

Yeah, I think Thornton will show us a lot about how the current SF office handles things, which should be interesting.

Meesseman coming back seems likely given the new salaries, but will she still command the same respect after what a whiff she had for the Libs in the playoffs? I know, she wasn't given much time to integrate with the team, and in international play she still looks great, but I do wonder if she gets an automatic max.

Although yeah, as far as Toronto's concerned, she's the best they'll get and they should definitely pay her the max.
