idk i think they’ll all just shuffle up the %s of the cap and re-sign, except slim and maybe ezi bc of the vibes

i’m one who thinks the free agent thing won’t be chaos at all … it’ll just be certain teams like atlanta who have players coming off rookie contracts and getting big raises (like rhyne) creating movement to make space … i would be shocked if 80%+ of free agents didn’t re-sign w their teams

wow these are some dumb takes …
- the lynx behind the merc and the dream … after this season?
- the dream at 3 when they’ll have to cut their depth to give lish and rhyne maxes this offseason?
- the sun ahead of the mystics? what season did you watch?

so, do we think every heat game this season will have the commentators talking about how working out w a’ja improved bam’s footwork, or can only boys teach girls how to improve at basketball?

agreed … syl is the exact kind of player that a’ja struggles against and maya could make jackie look small … sei/gray is pretty even tho

just saw a carousel of mid-season headlines—aces done, a’ja should ask out—and it is wild the difference a few months can make

hoping america has a turnaround like these aces, and all this bleakness is replaced with some big wins for democracy

In one season, A'ja has attained: MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP, and scoring champion.

Number of times that has been done in pro basketball history:

-WNBA: 0
-NBA: 0

The greatest individual season in professional basketball history

even as a superfan of this aces dynasty, i did not expect a championship this year after they seemingly struck out on all their free agent targets

that was dumb … why did i ever doubt a’ja

block/charges are notoriously difficult to call and i doubt they would ever see anything that would rise to the level of the ‘incontrovertible evidence’ … i get the idea of challenging that and trying for momentum, but was it wise to give that up?

lol guessing that they’re trying to push that this is a weak championship with a field decimated by injuries … it’s a two seed with the best player in the world
