Caitlin Clark was drafted number 1 by the indiana fever after being one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. WNBA players like A'Ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and Sue bird are not fans of the number 1 pick.

As long as Sides and Dunn are in the hiring decision making the whole organization will continue to suffer. Dunn is old school “be patient with the process “ while Sides just does not have good decisions making skills on the floor and can’t anticipate what would work best moving forward. Who really needs to go is Wheeler and Berger and gain a good guard and power center. Spend some money but it will be worth it. My real fear is that Sides has 2 years remaining on her contract at $500k/yr. With they make a good decision and pay her off??? I doubt it!!! Her being there the next few years means that Caitlin has to weave through all the bullsh** and sabotage. Amazingly she has beaten odds and shined despite this. No telling what a great coach could do in this team. So much potential but now hiring good players with a crappy coach will yield the same results. Barely above 500 at best unless someone is at the helm to make important game decisions and not lose by a few because of wrong decisions.

@mkmstillstackin Ай бұрын

You will surprisingly see a lot of veteran free agents lining up to play for the Fever alongside CC this offseason. They understand that as an exceptional ball distributor, having CC as a teammate will only improve their own scoring statline(s). Replacing Katie Lou, Wheeler, and Mitchell with better defenders, who can also score, will not be a problem, in my opinion.

@thewolfofwallstreet627 Ай бұрын

That depends because if WNBA players are fixing games to allow Angel Reese to get ROTY potentially, then you have to wonder if majority of the league is against Caitlin or not. We'll see. I think if the Fever make the playoffs, then they have a shot as attracting a lot of key free agents because they'll look at that, and think the Fever could be a title team with more of the right pieces. Heck, 3 of their players are on the all star team this year, and we all know both Boston and Clark are only going to get better as time goes on.

@mkmstillstackin Ай бұрын

@@thewolfofwallstreet627 good point making the playoffs will work in the Fever's favor.

Scoring more pounts in front of a sold-out crowd, while getting paid a max contract, is looking out for #1. 😉👌🏽 I agree AB and CC have an incredibly bright future.

I think the Fever need another big, a guard who can really play defense & a vet that can really provide guidance. Tina Charles was picked up by Dream to be that vet leader for Howard, but has been criticized in the past for team jumping to get a championship & disrupting team chemistry. Now Angel McCoughtry is only a year older than Charles, has talked about standing up for your teammates & was also known as a very good defensive player, so that would give you the enforcer & defensive parts along with being a vet. Tiffany Hayes could be a possible option too. I know she came back to promote her headphones & CC & the Fever would get her a lot of attention. As far as free agents, I would love to see the Fever get Satou Sabally. Elena Delle Donne could be an option, but she has had a lot of injuries & I think she only wanted to play if she could go to the Aces or Pheonix. If we are dreaming big, I would love to see Maya Moore come back & play with CC. Unfortunately I think Fever's options of good free agent vets will be limited until they get rid of Sides. The great attention on Fever & playing with CC are drawing points, but they need to announce that the Fever are going to have a great new head coach to attract any real free agency talent. The Fever could just embrace their youth. They could add Czinano really cheap, she had the highest FG% in the NCAA & she could just come off the bench when your post players have too many fouls & automatically connect w/CC. And Czinano was trained by one of the best post coaches, Jan Jensen. I also wish they could either get Taylor back or pick up Muhl. Muhl would be a good defensive add & she can also play backup PG some too.

Well I think before Djonai Carrington even becomes an option, you need to ask yourself first and foremost if you're the Fever, do you keep Christy Sides? NaLyssa Smith has liked tweets before slandering the coach, and any tweets that call for Sides to be fired. That suggests to me that NaLyssa Smith may be let go by the Fever after this season in the expansion draft, or she'll just leave the first opportunity she gets. I'm sure Carrington is aware of this, and that could be another reason why Carrington won't sign because she knows her girlfriend likely won't be there long term. I think if you keep Sides, then you need to get rid of Smith. No ifs, ends or buts about it. You can't keep a player on the team that doesn't respect the coach if your'e going to ride or die by Sides if the you're the Fever. And if you do get rid of her, then you can kiss any chance of Carrington coming goodbye. But if you do decide to move on from Sides, and you hire a coach that Smith likes, then maybe you have a shot. Not much because of the reasons you stated, but still.

News flash. On a team sport, you don't need every member of the team to like each other. When the Bulls were winning titles in the 90's, majority of the team HATED Michael Jordan personally, but they still followed him because he helped them win championships. Carrington may not like Caitlin personally, but if she signs with Indiana, then she's not going to sabotage the team, and possibly ruin her own career in the process. She may be rude, but she's not stupid. I think if she signs there willingly, then she'll behave herself as long as the team is winning, and Caitlin and her get along on a professional level at the very least. At the end of the day, all that matters is if you and your teammates can get along on a professional level. You don't need to be buddy buddy with your teammates to want to go out and have a few beers with them after games.

Sophie does a lot of TV work in Phoenix - including commentary and reporting during Suns’ games. Would she give that up to play in Indiana? If so, she’d be a nice add because the Fever need a little swag.

Hi@ Mick Talks hoops, my name is Tracy Shipman your new opponent from Columbus, GA and #202-D and I think that you are wrong about Diana Tuarasi Should go to the Indiana Fever with Brittney Griner and Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever trade Kelsey Mitchell, lexie Hull and Temi Fagbenele and (2) 2025(#13 pick) to the Phoenix Mercury? As for Tina Charles is the 🔑 🗝 (keys) for the Indiana Fever with Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso and Chenndy Carter and Arike Ogunbowale, Angel McCoughtry and Erica DeSouza to win 🏆 the Wnba Championship 💍 's

Why? The reasons that Dunn drafted Clark were to not get lynched this year, to allow Clark to look good but not too good and to get the playerS that she wants for the system when she trades her in the off season.

Oh please. The owner of the pacers owns the fever as well. Do you honestly believe anything you said. You think their going to get rid of clark and their literally winning more and making more money then they ever have

Britney Griner. Enforcer, height (which we need), experience. Deterrence for Aja and Stewart. Not fast, but prob faster than Dantas. Immediately makes you a contender. And she seems to respect Caitlin.

@MaxxZimonick Ай бұрын

I don’t see Caitlin continuously playing off the ball She is going to be the point guard going forward. Sure they don’t want her handling the ball on every play, but I don’t think you have this one right.

@MickTalksHoops Ай бұрын

She needs someone comfortable on/off the ball on the team. Like what Mario Chalmers was for LBJ in Miami! Someone who'll find CC when she's off the ball and also be a positive for the team when she's on the ball. There's not many players in the WNBA that can be effective at that and it's not like Sabrina, Jackie Young or Kate Martin are available
