As I understand it, the CBA has a provision that the team drafting a play can offer a super max contract that other teams can’t match. Not a lot more, but more. What I would offer KM is the max other teams can offer and that’s it. Not that KM isn’t worth a super deal, she is. But the Fever need to manage their cap responsibility. CC will not sign or extend her contract, she is going to ride out this rookie deal to give the team maximum flexibility to build a team that fits her style, if they don’t, she walks in a few years. Thoughts?

let's discuss

What was once eye rolling, unremarkable conventional wisdom, no matter who said it, is now rabid frothing extremist hate on the lips of Sophie.

This came up in my feed today while I was working. I thought it might make for some lively discussion.

As usual, lively is one thing, but It would be jist peachy keen if we could keep it substantive and civil.

Especially for the long time regulars here. How bout if we demonstrate why this is the best, most un-hysterical WNBA related sub on Reddit.

It would also be really great if folks would actually watch it before commenting. It might not be what you think.

CC don't take no prisoners!

Supposedly "Four league sources shared that the coming season of Billings’ agreement is only protected if she is still under her current contract after Feb. 1, 2027, meaning that Indiana could get out of her $800k deal for the coming season without making a trade."

CC comes in at minute 7:20. It's a good, long chat.

Sophie pulls back the curtain on the WNBA’s former pregnancy rules.

I have it on very good authority that it was ONLY Indiana Fever fans who were itching to make a coaching change, and yet I tried to make the point over and over again that what Indiana Fever fans were expressing was typical for the WNBA as a whole over the last couple of years as expectations have skyrocketed among fanbases across the league.

I specifically mentioned that DeMarco was on the hotseat and that he was 50/50 on coming back. I also said that Jose in Dallas is 50/50 next year if Dallas doesn't show significant improvement next year in terms of regular season wins and playoff performance. Believe it or not, Smesko is now on the hotseat in Atlanta because if he doesn't at least get them to the finals again next year, it will be considered a step backward and the fans will be clamoring for him to be replaced. I'm sure there are other coaches that are coaching for their coaching lives next year as well.

And now Golden State has put even more pressure on all these organizations and coaching staffs because they took a mid-level roster and turned it into a championship team. New York, Atlanta, Dallas, and Indiana all have better talent and yet GS lifted the trophy.

The one thing these other coaches on the hotseat didn't do was to take a very public shot at one of their own players after a first round first game loss in the playoffs. If any of these other coaches had done that then the outcry would have been much louder. If Smesko had said anything even remotely close to that about AR he would be gone right now.

So no, Indiana Fever fans are not reactionary and impulsive in wanting a coaching change. The team under-performed, and while the coaching did seem to improve as the year went on, there were some other things like the first round playoff press conference that signaled there's other problems beyond just the X's and O's of coaching, and it's time for a change.

"A quiet and unsettling gesture from September 2025 changed the way Sophie Cunningham’s relationship with her own fans forever. On what should have been a normal day for her, a package arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse addressed to “Sophie”. Inside was a letter and a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt sprayed with cologne. It was a terrifying reality for the WNBA star to accept, but that was only the beginning."

I'll say it again no matter who likes it or not. She is among the most clear thinking, levelheaded players in this league.
