10.8 points, 3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 50/38.5/100 split.

I got bashed for calling it a stupid trade. I thought it would've been good to start her and bring Georgia along slowly.

Think the Sky would take the trade back?

Teams go from looking like world beaters in one game to looking inept in the next game, and vice versa.

I see this more in the W than other leagues

Can't get an objective opinion on the Aces board so curious if anyone here has thoughts.

Even when Jackie Young is shooting 0-11, she stays on the court 34 minutes while Carter gets 21 minutes while shooting 7-14. Carter clearly should be the starter at this point.

It's almost like the Aces need to make sure they get the benefit of having her on the team without drawing attention to the unfair advantage it gave them to sign a player the teams seemed to blacklist last year. As though the fact that it's a new year excuses the action.

It wouldn't be a good look if the only reason they repeat is because they did what other teams avoided doing for the benefit of the league, because the other teams weren't being selfish.

The young Washington Mystics are flying high, coming off Friday’s 104-102 OT win over the Indiana Fever ahead of tonight’s youth-fueled Mystics vs Wings clash.

Washington guard Sonia Citron led the team with 30 points, backed by three other double-digit scorers — enough to offset Fever guard Caitlin Clark’s own 32-point night.

“Every game we want to put our best foot forward,” Citron said. “We want to show who we can be, and we just want to be tough.”

The Wings will aim to match that toughness, as tonight’s game totals eight 2025 and 2026 first-round WNBA draft picks between the two sides.

Dallas is looking to snap a two-game losing streak, with reigning No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd appearing healthy after Thursday’s loss to the Lynx. “You’ve just got to make sure you keep [Citron] in front of you, and she can’t get wide-open looks,” Dallas head coach Jose Fernandez said.

“You can’t let really good players have uncontested shots.”

THE MOST UPSET ME US HER EFFORT ON REBOUND IS POOR,I ALWAYS SEEN HER JUST STAND AND DON'T DO ANYTHING...WITH HER SIZE,SHE SHOULDN'T GRAB LESS THAN 5 REBOUNDS PER GAmE....

Because the whole game it sounded like Ci-TRON, emphasis on the last syllable. Or am I tripping?

This was difficult to convey during the off-season so I wonder if it's easier to see now. We tend to get caught up in semantics like rebuilding and lose track of the actual process and milestones.

This team was already rebuilt before the draft and before free agency began. They had two young all stars, and Shakira and Georgia. I'm not sure why so many couldn't see it then. How do you define a rebuilding team? A team without at least one all star? A team with glaring holes in at least two positions? The Mystics didn't fit any definition of a rebuilding team, plus they had 3 first round picks, plus they had more cap space than anyone in the league.

The draft hadn't occurred yet but the chronology simply didn't matter. The draft wasn't going anywhere, they were guaranteed to add more talent to the rebuilt roster they already had. We just didn't know exactly who. The team was not still rebuilding.

Take away Onyenwere's roster spot and the team would have $2.5 million in cap space. Imagine if they went hard at Gabby Williams, who took so long to sign with a team that she clearly was waiting for the best offer. Her defense probably would've made a difference against the Liberty.

And the final rub is that it wouldn't have impacted the teams ability to make more moves this year, next year or the year after. Even if they had signed Gabby to a max instead of Onyenwere for 700k, they would still be sitting on $1.5 million in cap space now.

The team is rebuilt and is a playoff contender. If I had the foresight to see this team could already be a title contender with Sonia and Kiki in just the second year of cheap rookie contracts, there's no excuse for management to not have seen it.

Maybe some if you still aren't getting this. But for those of you who were rude as puck and do get it now, I hope you learn to consider that maybe sometimes you're the ones not getting the concept. it was a mistake to not be active in free agency.
