Stewie is my choice, she would bring championship knowledge, great D, and the ability to take pressure off Mitchell, CC and Boston. If not Stewie, I want Charles as the above poster Z said. It would put Boston as a huge PF with the ability to pop in the paint. Just need to have the Valkyrie take Smith, trade her or cut her. Wheeler needs back, but not at max, Wallace needs gone, and a real backup PG brought in. I want to see more Fagbenle and Berger, I think they got a lot of upside.
I love Kelsey to death. But they are each doing their own thing on the court - - which is okay. Team dynamics. Different strokes is what makes the world go around.
She has bad habits that sides did nothing to address. In fact, we saw a practice where they actually practiced her bad habits when she was running around under the rim with the ball doing nothing. It looked like a player who did not trust teammates. We later saw the same thing in a game. Mitchell hopefully will improve under a competent coach.
I totally agree,❤ that core just need a "D" a la Rodman style and a couple depth from off the bench to hold score! 😮 I Love the same core to build from. 😊
I agree with that core. I would also keep Temi Fagbenle. Before she got hurt, she was the only player who could keep up with CC at the beginning of the season. She is a smart player who plays great defense and always brings energy to the team.
@@MrReymoclif714 Temi was the only one who could handle CC's passes at the beginning of the season. Then Temi broke her finger and could not handle passes like before, so I feel when she is healthy, she is a great player.
Kelsey Mitchell must be retained because of her unbelievable chemistry with Caitlin, and both are so humble. Kelsey Plum addition will be undeniably amazing. Can you imagine two great Kelsey's for Caitlin to pass the ball? Get another big to help AB in the paint, get Gabby Williams!!!
Practically NO chemistry with CC (...but when they do put together a play - - it's fireworks!). RIght now, CC and Boston are breaking up the defenses which allows KM to do what she does. ALL good for the team.
@@PaulRounds-l7c I don't have an idea of who to add without further analysis but I'm betting CC would rather have Plumb WITH her than against her. But given your opinion, I would argue that having Plum would be something akin to having another CC on the court. She is one tough cookie. I'm not too sure she wouldn't bring friction to the team, though. She is veery much in-your-face by nature. CC might find her competition to be frustrating so she might not be worth the addition.
@@NestofWeasels Williams is a great defender, exponentially better at defense than Plum. Besides a 4, the thing the fever need most is improved parameter defense. Plum and Mitchell are both undersized (5'8") volume shooters. Unless they get to play with two balls, Plum and Mitchell play the exact same role and cannot coexist.
Kelsie Mittchel is such a sweetheart. She has a humility that is rare in today's world and she truly ignited, by her example, how they can all improve their own skills by working with her instead of hating her. This world so badly needs good, wholesome, mentor/heroes. I feel sorry for the women who gave into their jealousy because jealousy only destroys the source from where it comes. Can't wait for the next season!
No Plum, Charles or for that matter anyone else. They need teammates not haters. Fever can make a 10 year run with Williams & Satou! Wheeler can go or be assistant coach????
If I'm the GM for the Fever, I am looking for a small forward with some range and a true center who isn't afraid to beef up in the paint. Protect Mitchel, Hull and Boston in the expansion draft and look for one or 2 proven talents who still have the wheels to play at CC's speed. And find a Head Coach who will protect and fight for her players.
I concur with your assessment. I'm not totally against Sides, though. I don't think she is the 'bad-guy'. @rustythecat2163 (...nice 'handle') I don't know where the 'berating her players in public' notion comes from.
@@jacquescousteau217 Lexie Hull has been stepping up and is quickly becoming the team's utility player. It would be okay if she was just stepping in KM's foot prints but Lexie has the height and (...suddenly, since the break) the Moxie to become a tenacious defensive player.
I say keep Mitchell such a wonderful human being AND has speed and shooting skills, she can play with the best. CC is way under rated in her defensive play. I have seen her quick hands and ability to block a lot of shots.
Fans can't get enough of Clark. The off season is torture for fans. The pent up fan demand to see Clark is going to build pressure and explode to new unreal heights next season. It's all a very amazing phenomenon.
At the brink of something special.. INDIANA FEVER... this alone is raising a lot of anticipation and expectation. lets hope they work out something that will fix their gaps, it will be big season 2025
Yeah, I used to be a fan of Taurasi but she is making nice too late for my taste. She's been in career-harvest mode and she just needs to leave the building before she makes herself look any worse. I would be okay with her in a coaching roll but, for God's sake - - not a player on team FEVER.
@@noragriffin6432 KM is my GIRL! But I can still argue for the addition of KP. That said, I would never risk or sacrifice KM for anybody else - - maybe not even CC!!! ...And I want to be one of CC's boyfriends!
Agreed, Plum is one of the handful of players that have that bad attitude towards CC, doesn't want her records broke, so bad match on Fever. Plus she seems a bit simple. No one else sees that? lol
The Fever don't need another guard. They need a big to complement Boston in the post... Satou Sabally, maybe? Ditch Smith, Wheeler, Samuelson, and Dantas.
I agree, they need help around the goal and Boston can't carry that load by herself. You can't expect the point guard to continue getting the rebounds Clark has chanced down. Boston is a great center but you have to have a great forward under the goal. I have seen the Fever get their shots blocked because they need help under the basket
There’s no way Mitchell is leaving-it was so awesome to watch how she and Caitlin started vibing on the court slowly but SURELY, both on and off the court. And then they literally became THE DUO of the WNBA. Mitchell’s talent was totally brought to light because she was finally given opportunities to prove what she can do thanks to an unbelievable PG who found her whenever she was open!!
I'm not convinced that Sides needs to go. Now, ...if Caitlin whispered in my ear that Sides is expendable, I'd throw Sides under the team bus in a heartbeat.
Love Kelsey Mitchell with CC on the Fever team. I also love watching Nneka but love seeing her on her own team as they provided the most entertaining game to watch with amazing talent on the Dallas team. They need good competition all around.
Sorry you missed it. Pretty much every player has, it’s just that if any critique came with it, many considered it as hate or jealousy. But that was takes of people on social media and not the accurate portrayal of majority of players.
These free agents think they're great now...but wait til they see what Caitlin can unlock in them if they play with her. Plus with the support of Fever fans, they'll be one of the biggest superstars in the WNBA alongside Caitlin and Kelsey! Ohh boy are they gonna make the other teams jealous! I just hope these new teammates would turn beast mode and stand up for Caitlin and protect her when she's getting hurt and tackled like nobody in the team has ever done! WHAT CAITLIN NEEDS IS AN ENFORCER OR TWO MORE THAN EVER. Especially because I sense they'll be hating even worse next season. I hope Cathy Korskopf has her back on this matter and ensure her safety if WNBA can't or won't do their job...
Yeah and I am all for it. Never in my wildest mind did I think I would care about the WNBA but here we are. I am excited for the future. It's all because of Clark. She deserves all too. Very rarely do you find a superstar also just always say the right things. To be a great role model and the thing is think of all the talent she will inspire. The WNBA is on the up and up as long as the leaders don't mess it up. Time will tell but it is a great thing to see.
Thanks for the kind words. We always do our best to come up with well researched, fact based, and thought provoking pieces for our viewers like you that inspire us!
This was an excellent Indiana Fever off season activity information program. As a new Fever fan I really enjoyed learning some more things about my favorite team and the potential directions they may head.
The Fever really needs 1 or 2 shooters and a solid perimeter defensive player on their team but players like Satou would be great for the team. But I doubt players Nneka and Kelsey aren't resigning with their current teams so I don't even consider them tbh. Honestly they're going to need players who won't have a problem not being the star player and will actually have chemistry with the team, no people secretly trying to sabotage Caitlin Clark
Couldn’t agree more on player choices. I coached AAU For years, specialized at clinics on Post work, and Tina Charles you could never go wrong having her. The most fundamental post player I ever saw male or female,tough,unflappable. Would be a great influence on Boston for a year or two.
Let's not forget about Grace Berger! She didn't get much play because of Sides forgetting about her, but when she was on the court she could back up CC anytime.
yes Fever should give Berger at least12 minutes a game so that Caitlin at least can take a rest and can preserve her body for securing constant healthy season
Never in the history of nba and wnba that fans gets excited for the next regular season next year. CC is unprecedented. She has the Mark of a global superstar at an early age.
Adding more solid players would be a good idea but I want Caitlin Clark make her own legacy because I just still hate all the haters …. If they come in all of them gotta know that Caitlin is the captain of the ship
For the Fever this past season CC scored 769 points and Kelsey scored 767 points, if Kelsey leaves the Fever in free agency the Fever are not a playoff team.
@@frederickcorbin7113 …. and Kelsey Mitchell will score much less than this years total - IF she leaves. HOWEVER- I can’t imagine her leaving. She is a perfect compliment to CC’s game. PLUS. She has a great attitude & seems sweet as hell!
@@Juke582 Dallas can offer her supermax money come Jan 2025 free agency. If she declines that, she can sign with any other team with slightly less money - the Fever has the cap space to sign 2 max players and 1 veteran role player (let's assume Kelsey Mitchell is one). So Satou definitely can be done - the ball is in her court
I'm a new fan so don't really know enough to give an informed opinion. I realllly hope KM stays put. I came to see CC and staying for KM. I'm obsessed 😂
Sabali is great , skilled , great personality , competitor , and even though i did not cared about her team .... she got my attention when she spoke ! great sense of humor, and great sportsmanship! will be great as the 5th ... CC , KM , AB , Hull and her ... that alone will upgrade CC APG to 10+ and fever to much more demanding of spread defense ...and that open the floor for KM , Hull And CC .... and ofc AB will not be doubled with big who actually can make layups!! Fever should get to 100+ pretty much every other game!
Apparently the media (mainstream & social) decided that it was most profitable to push the negativity of the haters because I've not seen many WNBA players speaking positively about Clark like I have in this video.
Most of those me turned here did like playing with Clark especially in all star game! They have said good things about Clark in last half of season when all the hate stopped!
I've always liked her. But she is in-your-face like Kelsey Plum. Remember that CC is a bit of a know-it-all so it might be too many chefs in the kitchen. Like Plum, the resulting meal could be spectacularly good or might be a fiasco. My gut feeling is that CC would approve of either and would do her best to adapt to the situation. CC is one of the most strategic people I have ever come across.
I like the team. They are a joy to watch. To go deep in the playoffs will require better defense and consistency during games. We tended to drop off and let teams back in the game that we were dominating. Maybe part of that is coaching, but it all has to come together from top to bottom for the team to get a championship. I'm excited to see how CC does after her first offseason to recharge the batteries and train.
Fever needs a 'power forward' who can protect the interior, med-range shootings, and some offensive rebound. This player will help loosen up the double team imposes on CC and Boston.
Whoever they pick, I trust she will be great at defense. The only thing I wish is for her to NOT be a jealous hater snake deep inside or have one for a girl/boyfriend. She can't have a victim mindset. She has to have Caitlin's back on and off court. If she shows genuine friendship to CC, Fever fans will love her back and elevate her to a whole new level globally than she has ever had in her career. I hope they can handle the fame they are going to get when they join CC.
I think that Caitlin Clark did the right thing by going on a place that Wants you and are not afraid to let them know how bad they want you !! You worked really hard to get your own place on a team ! And now it's showing your Hard Work is on diet I hope you have a Great Career in Europe Basketball ! Also I sorry for W. N. B. A how lost a Great Basketball player and a Great Personality !! Thanks again! JimS
But she never went to Europe. That's been already fact checked as untrue by many real news outlets. Those channels spreading those rumors didnt have anything better to do. While we agree Caitlin deserves better treatment, she also shouldnt deserve to be the topic of falsehoods :)
They have to keep Kelsey! They play so well together. And kelsey has been there for years. Struggling through the hard times. Ya can't move forward and leave Kelsey behind. If she wants to be there, sign her!
Kelsey Plum is a hard NO there’s a taint to the Aces and it may be contagious. They need a Tough presence in the paint. Would love Nneke, Charles would be interesting.
CC and Lexie =❤ Such sensational young ladies. Positive attitudes, assassin mentalities, team players and maximum effort! Mitchell is a fantastic player to pair with them as is Boston 💪💪 they're not needing too much to elevate to the next level. Coaching staff could use an upgrade. Head coach is a spineless turd who won't stand up for her players.
I have much respect for all the free agents mentioned, but I would love to see the Fever continue as is. If EW is hired as an assistant coach, that would work! I know the franchise will make what they consider the most efficient and lucrative decisions for the team, but my ❤ is with the 2024 players. They got the ball rolling, so let's continue to rock with them!!!
And why not. The Fever has great players ... no doubt. But, let's be real ... they were a bit shakey at the start of the season. A lot of Clark's so called "turn overs" were Clark sending a pass to a team mate or into a pocket ... and her team mates not seeing it or taking the pass. But later that changed ... the rest of the team HAD to lift their game to Clark's level. And Clark gave them opportunity to shine ... assist after assist after assist. By the end of the season, they were looking like a class basketball team. That's the Caitlin Clark effect. So of course, other players from other teams would be keen to feed off a player of that calibre. It would benefit their performance as well as present opportunities for them.
Every single player who', in this video, praised Clark and would play on a team with her, could very well be THE NEXT OLYMPIC TEAM!!! And THEY'D DESERVE TO BE!!! The ones who think they're the "kings" of the court, Griner, Taurasi, Wison, Ionescue, Thomas, etc., who were selected and went, need a huge, HUGE slice of humble pie served to them!! Especially that guy Griner who's about as exciting to watch as watching a weed grow (no pun intended with the weed thingy)!! Nevermind!! Yes, PUN INTENDED!!
Let's be fair, practically everyone you've named is trying to make nice to CC. Ionescue has always been very supportive of her. That doesn't make me big fans of the rest of them but we don't need to stoop to their level.
this video shows all these excellent players in the WNBA that they have never promoted to the public as much as they should have. many have stats equal to Catlin but we never hear much about them.
What would happen to Lexi, Kelly, and the team they have now. Maybe pick up 1 more for the Defense, but I d9nt wanna see anyone replaced, benched, or traded
The core team is most likely intact. Our take is they will probably let go of NaLyssa Smith and Erika Wheeler. They'll resign Mitchell and Fagbenle. This leaves 2 roster spots to sign a defensive forward and a wing player. Getting rid of Wheeler (hopefully she comes back in a coaching or team liaison role), will allow Grace Berger to be the CC backup
I'd rather have Satou who would fill a big hole at PF. She's young and just entering her prime. Kelsey Plum would bring experience and would be a great addition if Kelsey Mitchell decides to move on. They need to keep Temi, injury-prome or not. She would be first off the bench if NaAlyssa ẞmith somehow remains with the Fever.
Which free agent reaction was the best? Do you think they will fit with the Fever?

They definitely need a female Draymond Green.....somebody who has no problem laying out people who use fingernails as a weapon!
I think the fever needs a center to tighten there defence so boston can do her thing on pf position
Stewie is my choice, she would bring championship knowledge, great D, and the ability to take pressure off Mitchell, CC and Boston.
If not Stewie, I want Charles as the above poster Z said. It would put Boston as a huge PF with the ability to pop in the paint. Just need to have the Valkyrie take Smith, trade her or cut her. Wheeler needs back, but not at max, Wallace needs gone, and a real backup PG brought in. I want to see more Fagbenle and Berger, I think they got a lot of upside.

Mitchell is a great player and a great person. Her and Clark are such a dynamic duo.
I love Kelsey to death. But they are each doing their own thing on the court - - which is okay. Team dynamics. Different strokes is what makes the world go around.

@@NestofWeasels Well they play different positions so I would think that is a given
They are scoring but they are also giving away too many points.. Clark needs a duo who can defend
@ Your point of view is quite accurate. Clark needs work on her defense. Getting a shutdown defender will take some pressure off her.
I like Kelsey Mitchell. She is so humble, she's a good player, and she is beautiful.
If CC and Kelsey surround them with good players, in 1/2 years they will be the champions
All of the above.
Yeah!
Yes Kelsey,,is a great player,,she has to stay,,to continue to the best back court, period
Agree, she’s an exciting player
Because of CC, I learned that KM is a talented player, one of my favorite.
Me too. She is cool af!
Yeah!
Same here
@@iScoopyPal I love that little scrappy team. Even Wallace has grown on me. Not enough to keep her, but still. Lol
@@marisoltammero3331she was actually nice when playing with CC
All of them wow
The team has a good core with Clark, Mitchell, Boston and Hull. A couple key ads who are willing to play fast pace and they will be dangerous.

@@nomorenoless6156She couldn’t hold onto the ball last year.
@@royblondin9525 Grace Berger!!! Watching her play is awesome! Sides must’ve been very ignorant to not use her more?
@@MrReymoclif714 Temi was the only one who could handle CC's passes at the beginning of the season. Then Temi broke her finger and could not handle passes like before, so I feel when she is healthy, she is a great player.
The addition of both Nneka and Satou makes them instant championship contenders.
Kelsey Mitchell must be retained because of her unbelievable chemistry with Caitlin, and both are so humble. Kelsey Plum addition will be undeniably amazing. Can you imagine two great Kelsey's for Caitlin to pass the ball? Get another big to help AB in the paint, get Gabby Williams!!!
Plum, Mitchell and Clark on one team is a bad idea. Williams, Mitchell (or Plum) and Clark would be ten times better.

Who was hating her? Love Kelsey.
She’s a ballhog
Caitlin will make every Fever player a rich person.
She is going to put all of the WNBA into a higher tax bracket. Her game has caught the attention of the media and they know they can sell ad time.
Why say this unprovoked as if her teammates have something against her…. Other than nalyssa maybe. Just a weird comment to make
The money is starting to show already for the women that didn’t go overseas. I’ve seen a few Indiana women in commercials already.🤷🏾♂️
She certainly helps players be better players.
@@JROB447 Are you addressing me?
I'm new to WNBA, came for Clark, amazed by Boston, Mitchell, Hull, Temi. Class act athletes
Kelsy Mitchel is one of my favorite player of the WNBA.
Satou & Williams should be a priority! Veteran & Young talent during up defense!
No Plum, Charles or for that matter anyone else. They need teammates not haters. Fever can make a 10 year run with Williams & Satou! Wheeler can go or be assistant coach????
Agreed. Either or both would be golden. Once the weak links are cut free, they will be unstoppable imho.
@@johnburton8077 Plum comes with emotional attachment and issues. She’s another Tasmanian Devil kind of player.
I gotta have kels back. I love her game; explosive speed and she can hit from downtown.

If I'm the GM for the Fever, I am looking for a small forward with some range and a true center who isn't afraid to beef up in the paint. Protect Mitchel, Hull and Boston in the expansion draft and look for one or 2 proven talents who still have the wheels to play at CC's speed. And find a Head Coach who will protect and fight for her players.
Sides does neither protect or fight for her players. Sides excels at one thing, berating her players in public.
Totally agree on the young legs. The Fever are hands down the best in transition, and fast breaks. They also very much need defensive skills .
I concur with your assessment. I'm not totally against Sides, though. I don't think she is the 'bad-guy'.

And, steals.
@@forcryingoutloudly very true.
Gabby Williams would be a superb addition to the Fever. A defensive genius who can also score is just what the Fever need.
Adding more defense always helps.
Coaching defense as well...
They want to play team ball instead of bully ball!
The other teams need to realize that fans want to see talented basketball players competing on the court, not assassins that want to hurt people.
@@SharonM-f5v 💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@@Juke582 Grace Berger is GOOD!!!
Kelsey isn't going anywhere. Kelsey knows she would be insane to leave Fever!

Fans can't get enough of Clark. The off season is torture for fans.
The pent up fan demand to see Clark is going to build pressure and explode to new unreal heights next season.
It's all a very amazing phenomenon.
CC is a sweet child. She's living her hard earned childhood dream. Every free agent will want to help them build a championship team there.
Fever needs two very good defensive players. They already have strong offensive players.
CC is money, around CC are money
At the brink of something special.. INDIANA FEVER... this alone is raising a lot of anticipation and expectation. lets hope they work out something that will fix their gaps, it will be big season 2025
We love Mitchell too!
Anyone but Taurasi! She needs to retire with her old disrespectful a##!!
She doesn't have the wheels to play ay CC's speed and her production is pointing her towards a HS coaching career.
Also not Reese, Carter, Deshields, Harrington, Alyssa Thomas, A'ja,
Yeah, I used to be a fan of Taurasi but she is making nice too late for my taste. She's been in career-harvest mode and she just needs to leave the building before she makes herself look any worse. I would be okay with her in a coaching roll but, for God's sake - - not a player on team FEVER.
Totally agree! I've been a fan for years but not anymore. CC is better and DT can't handle it.
She not going to retire. She wants that CC stimy check.
Caitlin Clark is a wonderful added to a interesting games.

KM is better than KP.

The Fever don't need another guard. They need a big to complement Boston in the post... Satou Sabally, maybe?
Ditch Smith, Wheeler, Samuelson, and Dantas.
Fever don't need guards, they need another BIG. But a big that has some speed, no heavyweights, need RBs at both ends of the court!
Needs more defense.
Agreed. Sabally would absolutely be the best pickup out of the players in this video.
Yup need a big and trade fagbenle as she too injury prone and can’t contribute much. Solid biggie needed with Boston!
I agree, they need help around the goal and Boston can't carry that load by herself. You can't expect the point guard to continue getting the rebounds Clark has chanced down. Boston is a great center but you have to have a great forward under the goal. I have seen the Fever get their shots blocked because they need help under the basket
Cherly Miller should coach Indiana Fever
Nope! The Conn coach stephanie is best fit ever!!!!
There’s no way Mitchell is leaving-it was so awesome to watch how she and Caitlin started vibing on the court slowly but SURELY, both on and off the court. And then they literally became THE DUO of the WNBA. Mitchell’s talent was totally brought to light because she was finally given opportunities to prove what she can do thanks to an unbelievable PG who found her whenever she was open!!
I think, after the liss of her father. Kelseyville needed the locker room laughter and bind the Fever made together eill become cement next season.
They need a coach.
I'm not convinced that Sides needs to go. Now, ...if Caitlin whispered in my ear that Sides is expendable, I'd throw Sides under the team bus in a heartbeat.
They need officiating of games and a league without racisim.
Cheryl miller!!
Thank goodness they got a new coach

This was an excellent Indiana Fever off season activity information program. As a new Fever fan I really enjoyed learning some more things about my favorite team and the potential directions they may head.
The Fever really needs 1 or 2 shooters and a solid perimeter defensive player on their team but players like Satou would be great for the team.
But I doubt players Nneka and Kelsey aren't resigning with their current teams so I don't even consider them tbh.
Honestly they're going to need players who won't have a problem not being the star player and will actually have chemistry with the team, no people secretly trying to sabotage Caitlin Clark
💯
Players in the WNBA need to drop the catfights and focus on the game
After the Olympics? Definitely Gabby Williams!
Love for the Fever to have Satou Saballi or Nneka Ogwumike. They need a power forward.
Fever doesn’t need another 3 point shooter. Caitlin & Mitchell got it covered. Hull and others shooting more 3s. Heck, Boston should take more 3s
They DO need another 3-pointer! Hull is scarce and nobody on bench helps! You must have bench 3 point shooters to win in playoffs!
Mitchell is clutch! Satou or Neka would be amazing! Williams for D
Couldn’t agree more on player choices. I coached AAU For years, specialized at clinics on Post work, and Tina Charles you could never go wrong having her. The most fundamental post player I ever saw male or female,tough,unflappable. Would be a great influence on Boston for a year or two.
CC is working on her golf game, while not being assaulted on the green.💚
True!!! 😂 a break from hate!
Let's not forget about Grace Berger! She didn't get much play because of Sides forgetting about her, but when she was on the court she could back up CC anytime.
yes Fever should give Berger at least12 minutes a game so that Caitlin at least can take a rest and can preserve her body for securing constant healthy season
Never in the history of nba and wnba that fans gets excited for the next regular season next year. CC is unprecedented. She has the Mark of a global superstar at an early age.
Excellent video, thanks.
Adding more solid players would be a good idea but I want Caitlin Clark make her own legacy because I just still hate all the haters …. If they come in all of them gotta know that Caitlin is the captain of the ship
Kelsey Mitchell is just as important to the Fever as Catlin Clark and AB.
Yeah…. Ok
For the Fever this past season CC scored 769 points and Kelsey scored 767 points, if Kelsey leaves the Fever in free agency the Fever are not a playoff team.
@@frederickcorbin7113 …. and Kelsey Mitchell will score much less than this years total - IF she leaves. HOWEVER- I can’t imagine her leaving. She is a perfect compliment to CC’s game. PLUS. She has a great attitude & seems sweet as hell!
Satou Sabally and Caitlin Clark would make history together... hope Satou is able to get on the Indiana Fever!
She seems VERY interested and has started liking some posts on Twitter that are asking her to consider the Fever :)
@@BasketballTopStorieswow 😮she would be so great!!! Dallas doesn’t do her justice.
@@Juke582 Dallas can offer her supermax money come Jan 2025 free agency. If she declines that, she can sign with any other team with slightly less money - the Fever has the cap space to sign 2 max players and 1 veteran role player (let's assume Kelsey Mitchell is one). So Satou definitely can be done - the ball is in her court
I'm a new fan so don't really know enough to give an informed opinion. I realllly hope KM stays put. I came to see CC and staying for KM. I'm obsessed 😂
Sabali is great , skilled , great personality , competitor , and even though i did not cared about her team .... she got my attention when she spoke ! great sense of humor, and great sportsmanship! will be great as the 5th ... CC , KM , AB , Hull and her ... that alone will upgrade CC APG to 10+ and fever to much more demanding of spread defense ...and that open the floor for KM , Hull And CC .... and ofc AB will not be doubled with big who actually can make layups!!
Fever should get to 100+ pretty much every other game!
Not a fan of Plum on the Fever and Hell No to DT.
Why you don’t like plum she would be a good fit??
@@damionhood9642 I'd take Kia Nurse over Plum. I'm just not a Plum fan.
Apparently the media (mainstream & social) decided that it was most profitable to push the negativity of the haters because I've not seen many WNBA players speaking positively about Clark like I have in this video.
Most of those me turned here did like playing with Clark especially in all star game! They have said good things about Clark in last half of season when all the hate stopped!
All I want to hear coming out of Taurasi’s big mouth is a public apology to CC. And CC does not need to be mentored by her. Please.
what about Sophi Cunningham? Nice, big guard with toughness.
It would have to be a trade, she resigned with Phoenix ...
No, there are better players.
I've always liked her. But she is in-your-face like Kelsey Plum. Remember that CC is a bit of a know-it-all so it might be too many chefs in the kitchen. Like Plum, the resulting meal could be spectacularly good or might be a fiasco. My gut feeling is that CC would approve of either and would do her best to adapt to the situation. CC is one of the most strategic people I have ever come across.
They don’t need guards and Sophie is not that good
This is very uplifting to here. They can put a ballteam together that would be unstoppable.
I like the team. They are a joy to watch. To go deep in the playoffs will require better defense and consistency during games. We tended to drop off and let teams back in the game that we were dominating. Maybe part of that is coaching, but it all has to come together from top to bottom for the team to get a championship. I'm excited to see how CC does after her first offseason to recharge the batteries and train.
Fever needs a 'power forward' who can protect the interior, med-range shootings, and some offensive rebound. This player will help loosen up the double team imposes on CC and Boston.
I am new to the WNBA with CC22. KM appears to be an awesome person, team mate and friend. Not to mention a flipping awesome BB player.
No to DT.
Whoever they pick, I trust she will be great at defense. The only thing I wish is for her to NOT be a jealous hater snake deep inside or have one for a girl/boyfriend. She can't have a victim mindset. She has to have Caitlin's back on and off court. If she shows genuine friendship to CC, Fever fans will love her back and elevate her to a whole new level globally than she has ever had in her career. I hope they can handle the fame they are going to get when they join CC.
I think that Caitlin Clark did the right thing by going on a place that Wants you and are not afraid to let them know how bad they want you !! You worked really hard to get your own place on a team ! And now it's showing your Hard Work is on diet I hope you have a Great Career in Europe Basketball ! Also I sorry for W. N. B. A how lost a Great Basketball player and a Great Personality !! Thanks again! JimS
But she never went to Europe. That's been already fact checked as untrue by many real news outlets. Those channels spreading those rumors didnt have anything better to do. While we agree Caitlin deserves better treatment, she also shouldnt deserve to be the topic of falsehoods :)
Fans love KM. She is so fun to watch play and lovely person.
Yeah! I was thinking of her as part of coaching staff!!
We ❤️ love you Kelsey.
Gabby Williams sounds like a good fit
They have to keep Kelsey! They play so well together. And kelsey has been there for years. Struggling through the hard times. Ya can't move forward and leave Kelsey behind. If she wants to be there, sign her!
Kelsey is the FEVER MVP - - losing Kelsey is NON-negotiable. Let's get on it, FEVER!
Kelsey Plum is a hard NO there’s a taint to the Aces and it may be contagious. They need a Tough presence in the paint. Would love Nneke, Charles would be interesting.
Nneke!!!! I love her!
They have caught the country's attention and league for sure!!!!
CC and Lexie =❤
Such sensational young ladies. Positive attitudes, assassin mentalities, team players and maximum effort! Mitchell is a fantastic player to pair with them as is Boston 💪💪 they're not needing too much to elevate to the next level. Coaching staff could use an upgrade. Head coach is a spineless turd who won't stand up for her players.
I have much respect for all the free agents mentioned, but I would love to see the Fever continue as is. If EW is hired as an assistant coach, that would work! I know the franchise will make what they consider the most efficient and lucrative decisions for the team, but my ❤ is with the 2024 players. They got the ball rolling, so let's continue to rock with them!!!
Mitchell makes the team a team! She is the power behind the success
Caitlin is the Juice. Go Caitlin!
they need to give TEMI Fagbenli more playing time she is a winner look at her history
She was injured alot.
Hurt too much and could t get back to good play
Let's not forget Temi, folks. What a humble, beautiful human being. I hope she stays healthy and has her best year ever!
And why not. The Fever has great players ... no doubt. But, let's be real ... they were a bit shakey at the start of the season. A lot of Clark's so called "turn overs" were Clark sending a pass to a team mate or into a pocket ... and her team mates not seeing it or taking the pass. But later that changed ... the rest of the team HAD to lift their game to Clark's level. And Clark gave them opportunity to shine ... assist after assist after assist. By the end of the season, they were looking like a class basketball team. That's the Caitlin Clark effect.
So of course, other players from other teams would be keen to feed off a player of that calibre. It would benefit their performance as well as present opportunities for them.
Nneka at the 4 woild be a match made in heaven for the Fever starting 5
Every single player who', in this video, praised Clark and would play on a team with her, could very well be THE NEXT OLYMPIC TEAM!!! And THEY'D DESERVE TO BE!!! The ones who think they're the "kings" of the court, Griner, Taurasi, Wison, Ionescue, Thomas, etc., who were selected and went, need a huge, HUGE slice of humble pie served to them!! Especially that guy Griner who's about as exciting to watch as watching a weed grow (no pun intended with the weed thingy)!! Nevermind!! Yes, PUN INTENDED!!
These players can beat the 2024 Olympic team again, any time.
Let's be fair, practically everyone you've named is trying to make nice to CC. Ionescue has always been very supportive of her. That doesn't make me big fans of the rest of them but we don't need to stoop to their level.
this video shows all these excellent players in the WNBA that they have never promoted to the public as much as they should have. many have stats equal to Catlin but we never hear much about them.
We do our best to shine a spotlight on those players :) Instead of the haters and the ones that stir the pot
What would happen to Lexi, Kelly, and the team they have now. Maybe pick up 1 more for the Defense, but I d9nt wanna see anyone replaced, benched, or traded
The core team is most likely intact. Our take is they will probably let go of NaLyssa Smith and Erika Wheeler. They'll resign Mitchell and Fagbenle. This leaves 2 roster spots to sign a defensive forward and a wing player. Getting rid of Wheeler (hopefully she comes back in a coaching or team liaison role), will allow Grace Berger to be the CC backup
Love watching Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark read each other's minds on the court... going to make WNBA History together...
Why is it that every time I watch Caitlin off the court I think, “damn, I bet she’d be cool to hang out with …”
Keep Kelsey and add Satou. Lastly add some quality bench depth.
I'd rather have Satou who would fill a big hole at PF. She's young and just entering her prime. Kelsey Plum would bring experience and would be a great addition if Kelsey Mitchell decides to move on. They need to keep Temi, injury-prome or not. She would be first off the bench if NaAlyssa ẞmith somehow remains with the Fever.
Great take! We just posted a video specifically about Satou wanting to join the Fever - let's make it happen Amber Cox!
Plum needs a psychiatrist.
TEMI! TEMI! TEMI!!
Gabby would be a good fit..
Way To Go fever! WNBA CHAMP'S 2025!!!
Nneka would be a great add to fever- experience, producer on both ends of the court and class.
Definitely! But sabally is my top pick
Indiana's next season will be explosive 🎉
Can’t wait 🫶🏼
Yes, CC, Boston, Mitchell and Hull are the best 💖💖💖💖Nj
