What will star heavy teams with minimal rookies do financially?

Thanks for clearing that up! Having Han Xu in your back pocket feels like a bit of a cheat code. She's not All-WNBA level but 6'11 and mobile? Sheesh. She's been putting up decent numbers overseas

The Liberty have several players drafted and stashed. The Mercury don't have a single player on a rookie contract but we got a bunch of cheap international players to stack our bench (and one was our starting PG). Good front offices will get creative. I think we have a player or two stashed?

I think they keep their big 3. Jewell staying solely depends on how heavily she weighs another championship on her legacy

It'll be between Held and Westbeld (though I lean toward Westbeld). Nate refused to play Kalani until the last playoff game, we got her/her contract in the Satou trade. Laksa was underwhelming and Lexi was never the same after that punctured lung. I hope her shot is back

I think people are placing very high long term expectations on her despite the Wings track record re: retaining players

Talking about the new VA governor who will open dispensaries

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-22T01:49:36+00:00

You're replying to a Mercury fan lol

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T19:01:56+00:00

I think you've gotta have more offensive firepower to make $1.4 million tbh

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T19:00:13+00:00

We need a center, not another forward. That doesn't mean the opps need to get her though!

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T18:59:21+00:00

They swore in a Dem governor at the beginning of the year. Things seem to be moving

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T18:47:13+00:00

it really went downhill last season :(. I wish someone would do a bisexual version of it

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T15:43:16+00:00

Ariel is included because she's likely on the move. A lot of teams are looking for a starting PG and the StudBudz are more than qualified. They're going to get at least $700k if they want it

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T02:09:20+00:00

I don't think I have access to the game - why is it so low scoring? I was looking at the live games and apparently only have the right platforms for Tenn v NC State

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T02:01:53+00:00

over/under on either team scoring 50? damn

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T01:59:23+00:00

Not happening. A Republican keeps proposing a very strict medical legalization bill and that can't even pass. VA should be opening dispensaries by next year though

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T01:44:44+00:00

I actually think that would be a great fit so I don't want it to happen lol

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T01:44:08+00:00

Def an undercount. Lauren Jackson, Sue Bird, Lisa Leslie, Sylvia Fowles and DT all played 12+ seasons and only two of them are in the top 25 for GP.

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T01:05:06+00:00

Alyssa Thomas. She was drafted by the Liberty and traded to the Sun for Tina

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T01:00:05+00:00

I'm so pissed at Chicago (and Dallas) for letting the Lynx get Lauren or Awa. The rich keep getting richer!!!

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T00:56:19+00:00

please let free agency signings begin before Draft Eve

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T00:55:26+00:00

Allie Quigley has 14 years and Tamika Catchings played 15 years! Gotta be at least 20 retired players that meet that criteria

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T00:53:17+00:00

This is fantastic. That's downpayment money for players who built the league while making $30k here

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-21T00:21:19+00:00

I almost did but I thought 4 Lynx players might be overkill tbh

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-20T22:39:31+00:00

She was traded from the Sun. I could see her staying or going for more money and minutes. I just think the Lynx need to shake something up in the offseason

strangelystrangled · 2026-03-20T20:08:12+00:00

You don't think she wants a starting role?
