BREAKING NEWS: Aja Wilson has won the Academy Award for her riveting performance as the victim in the movie about a fading basketball star being overshadowed by a young generational player in "Cry Me A River".
It takes a lot of narcissim to be Aja. Otherwise we might see a real person we could relate to. Dude I never knew her name until Caitlan joined the W. Accept and move on!
Not If Chennedy is actually "Looking For A Home". If her Loyalty can be channeled, she'll be a real problem for opposing teams, and Bullying Caitlin will be A Thing Of The Past, with her having Caitlin's Back. Could Be A Win Win for the Fever...Aaannndd She's A Baller
These ladies might not realize that they can be bounced at any time instead of resigning. If I were them, I would ensure I do everything right and strive to be a good person..
Honestly I’d rather keep Smith than get Carter. She has a great relationship with Caitlin and the other key players, she just needs some coaching and motivation. And she’s on her rookie contract so she’s cheap. I’d give her another year to see what she can do. There are other bench players that are much less useful at this point.
I didn't say I wanted to bring her. Just bringing up possible scenarios from a basketball standpoint. On the court, Carter is one of the best shooting guards in the league. But that doesn't mean she'd be good for the team, same way Smith has a ton of talent but her behavior made her a negative this year. Maybe if she dumps Carrington she could get things together and help the team.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast when you looking from a basketball standpoint, you have to look at chemistry too. Not just skill. You can have the best skilled players and still not be a top team. Players that have jealousy over other players affect the entire team. 🏀🏀🏀
No Fever fan wants to lose Kelsey Mitchell, much less poison the well by signing Chennedy Carter or Alyssa Thomas. Not when they need to drain the swamp to remove NaLyssa Smith.
Thanks for the class teacher. I didn't know any of it as a rookie fan. Have a Happy New Year. Hope your 2025 is better than 2024. Even if 2024 was okay, may 2025 be even BETTER. 💥💥💥💥💥
As a fan I trust what the Fever do in free agency, remember this, is not the best player in free agency, but the best player fit into the Fever. The Fever is Caitlin Clark team!
I certainly have never seen in my 67 years as much interest in the events of an off season as this year with CC and the fever. Can’t wait to see what the fever come up with in the next month.
We need nontoxic,smart, non woke players who can literally play and not glorified role players. Ben gone crazy with that one. No Connecticut or Ski players allowed on the Fever period.
The one thing you might consider is the Mystics may be in full on tank mode and some of their better players, like an Ariel Adkins may be available via trade. Adkins is a seasoned pro and a great defender in her prime. I don’t think Chennady Carter will be considered as an option for the Fever. If Kelsey wants to be traded, that’s too bad; but under those circumstances working a sign and trade for a key player like Kelsey Plum would be a smart move and she could slot right in to the 2 guard position. I like the Satou Sabally ideas, but I think there are more obstacles to bringing her in. Dallas will likely core her and with their #1 pick and a couple super guards in the coming draft I don’t think Kelsey Mitchell will be their asking price. Satou may also want to go to NY to play with her sister and NY has a lot of options to offer going back to Dallas. My sense of the Fever needs always keep bringing me back to Sonia Citron in the draft, I hope she is available at the 8th pick. Also from a draft perspective I am high on Aneesah Morrow, she is a little undersized for the front line but is a great athlete and a tenacious rebounder, interior scorer and defender.
We will see if Lin Dunn was lying when she said she was getting a lot of calls from agents wanting to play in Indiana. I am interested to see if black players want to be traded and play with CC. With all the toxic behavior going on towards CC. I can see black players getting a lot of heat from other players, family members and online hate for playing with CC. If you get traded to Indy, you may get a lot of hate for weeks. These fans fear Indy will get a Championship roster.
Carter would be a disaster for the Fever, an egomaniac who would disrupt the offensive flow, take a ton of shots and act out on and off the court. Think Nalyssa Smith X 2 with the twitter fingers, constantly whining about her role, her touches, and her minutes.
I'm not so sure about her. A few years ago there were domestic violence allegations against her. Charges were dropped, but it makes me wonder if she has a volatile temper, and what that might mean for locker room culture.
@ More like 5 years ago, she is married with no reoccurrence. She fully cooperated with the investigation and may have actually been the victim of the abuse, so I wouldn’t put much weight on that.
The structure of the "not really a sports league doesn't facilitate more than the status quo in free agency. Limited to only 12 roster slots, low salaries, bargain basement cap, and poor corporate/owner leadership, it's slim pickings.
Occupy Wall Street was the Pinnacle and keeps falling 6:59 down to nothing I walked away from that crap in 2015... When into politics as the Green Party by 2016 I was done with all of it Now MAGA after all of the wisdom gained
If KM leaves the Fever , she has the dumbest agent around . All eyes are on the Fever ,which could lead to more endorsement $$ for her that she wouldn't have on another team . No player with a brain is leaving CC-Effect Indiana by choice now.
Yeah, trying different mics and settings, etc. It's also why my voice was steadier, as I was trying not to hit a hot mic, which could be part of the problem.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast - not sure of your set up or cable choices. How stabilized the jack/socket/port/cable ends are with each other. My guess if it’s not the cable itself, it’s the port or ports that the cable ends are plugging into. There are little rubber attachments you can put on the ends of almost any kind of cable that props the cable up/makes stable as it enters whichever device is on either end - the mic, the preamp, the laptop, etc.
Sign and trade KM packaged with KLS ONLY for defenders & finishers, with positive attitudes, such as Temi & Kate M. Then use the savings to bring in a strong rebounder or Belgian.
I like Kelsey Mitchell a lot and hope she decides to stay with Fever. I think her comments could be construed as: 1. She wants to be courted. (And i think she DESERVES to be courted!) 2. Negotiating tactic - "Don't take me for granted, pay me what I'm worth!"
I get that but this is a unique situation. She's not truly an unrestricted FA because they can core her. Coring is as courting as you'll get. Plus, coring means a supermax contract and an amount the have to pay her so there's no real negotiating on the amount.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast I see your point, and for sure money talks. However, comments about her value to the team, etc would be good ideas. Also, to whatever extent it's allowed by the CBA, recruiting local corporations to work a TV commercial deal or other endorsement to sweeten the deal could be nice. Something like the Aflac deal with Aliyah and Lexie, for example.
@@jimmyboy131 You have forgotten that Plum gave CC her First Brutal Screen, knocking her Flat, in one of her first games in the WNBA, I Guess? Plum Played her Part In The Whole Hate Caitlin Mess, and did it gladly.....Before Sea Biscuit gave her the "Talk" about her Privilege
I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately another team would have to buy her out and that isn’t happening at her salary. It’s a really frustrating situation.
I don't expect the Fever to do much in free agency this year. The current roster is good enough to make a run at the championship if White can get them to play defense. They had the #1 offense post Olympic break and will only get better this season. They need some bench depth and that's about it imo.
I believe Ben Daniels' video advocating Chennedy Carter for the Fever was satire, and NOT a serious recommendation. He seemed to have a twinkle in his eyes the whole time.
1. About coring. A player can only be cored 2x in thier career and they cannot be cored in consecutive seasons. Another rule. A team can't have 2 cored players on their team. If Kelsey Mitchel is cored for Indiana and Satou is coreed for Dallas then Indiana cannot trade for Satou unless Kelsey isn't traded first. I think that Kelsey is hinting strongly that she's not coming back. I don't know the Fever's plans but in hindsight losing Temi was a big mistake. If Kelsey leaves then there's a big hole in the 2 and 4 spot. Remember that 'culture' is a prime requisite for any player coming onto the team. Another thing people are not looking at is that next year there are two more new teams so every team is going to lose 2 players next year to the expansion draft.
But Fever can do better than Erica Wheeler. Wheeler and Wallace are both close personal friends of Crusty Sides. Best to make a clean break with the Sides era. Wheeler was a mediocre point guard as backup to Caitlin. For example, in the Mercury game where Fever lost a 31 point lead, that was while Caitlin was on the bench and Wheeler was subbing for her as point guard. Wheeler is slow, and not compatible with the fast offense that Stephanie White is planning. In the first 10 games of the season, Sides put Wheeler at point guard and Caitlin at small forward - and Wheeler rarely passed her the ball. Wheeler's shooting was not great. I see no reason to re-sign her.
@ChicksDigScarsPodcast I think the others only done the breakdown on the short version oc the training upload, there's a longer version on the Fever TH-cam channel.
All players r only going to sign for one year because of tv deal. I don’t see any team giving up too much for a one year signing of a player. Correct me if I’m wrong. New fan.❤
We have plenty of guards that are chopping at the bit to play if Kelsey doesn’t come back. We need Sabally to solidify our starting forward position. Smith can go asap
I don't understand the hate towards Smith and the love for Sabally who can't stay healthy. Smith has loads of talent and good chemistry with CC. She shouldn't and won't be going anywhere this season. Sides did her dirty and hampered her development. White will get her back on track.
Satou + another great player would make the Fever invincible. AT would make a great enforcer. Satou on the Liberty would make them invincible. Chennedy won Miss congeniality in China so I believe in an environment where she's feels loved she will do OK. Her problem is clearly psychological. Get her with a good psychotherapist and she would be a great fit.
If you're gonna trade Mitchell why not go after a lockdown perimeter defender like Ariel Atkins (with the added bonus that the CC effect will also boost her scoring average up a few notches from 15 to 18) and try to get the Mystics to include their #6 pick in that deal. I think Carter is too much of a loose cannon and doesn't give the Fever what they need which is perimeter defense. They can then turn that pick into Sabally along with Nalyssa Smith and Victaria Saxton (or Kristy Wallace) and go after a free agent big like Salaun or Nneke Ogwumike and still have their 8th pick to draft n stash Sivka or use on another perimeter defender like Sonia Citron or Sheyenne Sellers.
You can only have 1 core player on your roster. If they core KM and keep her, say goodbye to Satou. Even though it was a slim chance she would end up in Indy. I could see KM not wanting to play with CC any longer. Gunners like KM, want to be the top dog. She will never be the top dog with CC on the team.
If I remember right kelsey told cc she will always be in her backcourt & she won't score as much without cc since cc hits her with passes other guards will not do on another team
If KM leaves Indy she will never have another year like she had in 2024. If she is still willing to run with CC and get herself open she has a great chance of having a better year in 25 than she had in 24. Plus she has a better chance winning a WNBA Championship than she would if she goes somewhere else. She needs Indy, and Indy needs her!
Yeah, I mean, what Player, would ever want to play with the Best Player the W has seen in Decades? Such a waste of time N Shtuff. Put down the Pipe and step away from the keyboard, Angel. You're not making any sense
@@JamesLybarger Well Put. I figure Kelsey is going exactly NOWHERE. In spite of all the Advice designed to Hurt both the Fever and Kelsey, due strictly to CC Hatred. They think they Slick, but not by half
Lol! I didn't say they were good ideas or I wanted them, but you never know what might happen. I mean, if Mitchell truly wanted to leave, signing Plum as a free agent wouldn't be all bad.
@ No Soup for you 1 year !! … Just don’t think Plum is a good fit with Clark and would be more of a negative but if Jackie Young was available I would grab her right up . Still think Mitchell will be back since she would be starting from scratch on another team but the Fever are moving to the top fast and she knows her best season came with CC and no other team has a player like CC
Your hypothetical idea of Chennady Carter coming to the fever as a SHOOTING guard won't happen since the league would not allow Carter on the court with a gun. She's is too unstable.
Not going to look it up but I thought a player could be 'cored' 3 times by a single team or a combination of teams. prolly won't hear back on this, just throwing it out there.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast "There are, of course, some restrictions on team’s use of the core designation. Teams can only ‘core’ one player per free agency period, for example. Likewise, a given player can only be ‘cored’ three times throughout their career, regardless of if she’s being designated by the same team three times, or by three different teams. For example, DeWanna Bonner and Tina Charles were both designated as core players three times by the Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty, respectively. This means neither Bonner nor Charles can be ‘cored’ again at any point in the future, even though they are both no longer with those teams." It was a good read btw.
Griner got traded to my Fever team in 2K. Broken af having a 6'7" post on that team 😆 But yeah, she just looked like a statue out there this last season. Just super slow
At first I thought Sabally wanted to play with Clark but after seeing the same vid everyone else has seen not sure. She was asked flat out Angel or Caitlin and without hesitating said Angel. Also on several other interviews Ive seen her speak rather negatively on Caitlin. The Fever dont need that , either you are all in or go for new meat. Sabally is a good player but just maybe not good chemistry with the fever. just maybe not good chemistry with the fever.
Sab Story also seems to be injury prone and, imo, covertly jealous that CC has so many awesome fans. She's a good player that ''seems'' to be an ok person, but there's just something about her......
Dude no way we would or should trade Mitchell for plum. There is literally only two players on our team that are a MUST KEEP AT ANY AND ALL COSTS. That's Clark and Mitchell all the other players we could easily and viably replace and get around the same output. Yes even ab. Ab had glimpses of brilliance tjis past season but it was incredibly inconsistent. Now if she steps it up then sure she can be a must the year after. But get rid of anyone who would otherwise get in the way of keeping Mitchell. She's paramount to our chances. Pay her the max and drop Samuelson or anyone we can't afford. And go get sabaly or Tina Charles cause I like her.
@chicksdigscars please if you have the opportunity take the correct pipe away from Ben Daniel. I would prefer to keep Smith rather than have an even worse cancer in the locker room. Also, does anybody actually think that Carter is actually measurably better than Mitchell? Jewel Lloyd, isn't she the one that pretended to tie her shoelaces to give Clark a breath? If so, number one priority bring her to town, she clearly respects Clark, and probably would enjoy playing with her and for this franchise that has sent a message, a very clear message that their goal is winning games, not activation.
As Willard said, that was Jackie Young, in an Aces game. With all the drama and rumors about Seattle Storm, I'd be wary about bringing in anyone from that team unless I had access to credible information about what actually led to the drama there.
Things never change, even in the off season. Instead of commenting and engaging into the topic presented, you guys continue with hate talk and name calling. Grow up people or get a life. Does anyone notice that the olny channels bringing up all the so called drama from last season is Ckark supported channels. Everyone else is over it. Find something new to harp on. 🧩🧩🧩🤞

@ Others have but most are not very good at it and you do have a pretty good following and think you would get a lot of hits
@@EAGLECLIFFCV Ha! Thanks!
@ChicksDigScarsPodcast I think the others only done the breakdown on the short version oc the training upload, there's a longer version on the Fever TH-cam channel.
All players r only going to sign for one year because of tv deal. I don’t see any team giving up too much for a one year signing of a player. Correct me if I’m wrong. New fan.❤
It would be nice to display the lists like "cannot be cored".
You're fricking nuts saying Carter joining!!!!
No to Chennedy Carter or Alyssa Thomas!
We have plenty of guards that are chopping at the bit to play if Kelsey doesn’t come back. We need Sabally to solidify our starting forward position. Smith can go asap
I don't understand the hate towards Smith and the love for Sabally who can't stay healthy. Smith has loads of talent and good chemistry with CC. She shouldn't and won't be going anywhere this season. Sides did her dirty and hampered her development. White will get her back on track.
I would rather roll with what the Fever have and add Isabelle Harrison, than lose Kelsey Mitchell for Sabally. Sabally would be real nice though.
Satou + another great player would make the Fever invincible. AT would make a great enforcer. Satou on the Liberty would make them invincible. Chennedy won Miss congeniality in China so I believe in an environment where she's feels loved she will do OK. Her problem is clearly psychological. Get her with a good psychotherapist and she would be a great fit.
If you're gonna trade Mitchell why not go after a lockdown perimeter defender like Ariel Atkins (with the added bonus that the CC effect will also boost her scoring average up a few notches from 15 to 18) and try to get the Mystics to include their #6 pick in that deal. I think Carter is too much of a loose cannon and doesn't give the Fever what they need which is perimeter defense. They can then turn that pick into Sabally along with Nalyssa Smith and Victaria Saxton (or Kristy Wallace) and go after a free agent big like Salaun or Nneke Ogwumike and still have their 8th pick to draft n stash Sivka or use on another perimeter defender like Sonia Citron or Sheyenne Sellers.
Fever President recently said they would core Mitchell
Yeah, they have to core her. But, if she truly wants to leave, they may look to core and then trade so at least they get something in return.
@ makes sense I think it’s a win win for Fever honestly - personally I think KM is replaceable (but I hope she stays)
You can only have 1 core player on your roster. If they core KM and keep her, say goodbye to Satou. Even though it was a slim chance she would end up in Indy. I could see KM not wanting to play with CC any longer. Gunners like KM, want to be the top dog. She will never be the top dog with CC on the team.
Out of KM's 7 seasons, 2024 was her best year.
If I remember right kelsey told cc she will always be in her backcourt & she won't score as much without cc since cc hits her with passes other guards will not do on another team
If KM leaves Indy she will never have another year like she had in 2024. If she is still willing to run with CC and get herself open she has a great chance of having a better year in 25 than she had in 24. Plus she has a better chance winning a WNBA Championship than she would if she goes somewhere else. She needs Indy, and Indy needs her!
Yeah, I mean, what Player, would ever want to play with the Best Player the W has seen in Decades? Such a waste of time N Shtuff.
Put down the Pipe and step away from the keyboard, Angel. You're not making any sense
@@JamesLybarger Well Put. I figure Kelsey is going exactly NOWHERE. In spite of all the Advice designed to Hurt both the Fever and Kelsey, due strictly to CC Hatred. They think they Slick, but not by half
Plum is 2 years older than Mitchell.
NO PLUM OR CARTER OR THE BLOCK GOES ON YOU RIGHT AWAY ....LOL
Lol! I didn't say they were good ideas or I wanted them, but you never know what might happen. I mean, if Mitchell truly wanted to leave, signing Plum as a free agent wouldn't be all bad.
@ No Soup for you 1 year !! … Just don’t think Plum is a good fit with Clark and would be more of a negative but if Jackie Young was available I would grab her right up . Still think Mitchell will be back since she would be starting from scratch on another team but the Fever are moving to the top fast and she knows her best season came with CC and no other team has a player like CC
Smith is on Rookie Contract, No need to Core her Brother
Your hypothetical idea of Chennady Carter coming to the fever as a SHOOTING guard won't happen since the league would not allow Carter on the court with a gun. She's is too unstable.
#1 - “SIGN KELSEY MITCHELL”!
#2 - TRY AS HARD AS YOU CAN TO GET SATOU SABALLY !
#3 - “TRADE NaLyssa Smith”!
#4 - “WARNING”! NO Chennedy Carter !
Not going to look it up but I thought a player could be 'cored' 3 times by a single team or a combination of teams. prolly won't hear back on this, just throwing it out there.
Everything I've seen, multiple sources, says it's twice. That being said, it's the WNBA so it could be wrong.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast "There are, of course, some restrictions on team’s use of the core designation. Teams can only ‘core’ one player per free agency period, for example. Likewise, a given player can only be ‘cored’ three times throughout their career, regardless of if she’s being designated by the same team three times, or by three different teams. For example, DeWanna Bonner and Tina Charles were both designated as core players three times by the Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty, respectively. This means neither Bonner nor Charles can be ‘cored’ again at any point in the future, even though they are both no longer with those teams."
It was a good read btw.
Carter should b a big no and BG couldn’t play fever style bb - too fast, liquid n loose
I think impossible is the word you're looking for.
@@Willard-l7t For "Pops", yeah, why even Bother. She's Too Old & Too Slow. I'd rather have Christie Sides Suit Up, than Pops, for Comedic Value alone
Griner got traded to my Fever team in 2K. Broken af having a 6'7" post on that team 😆 But yeah, she just looked like a statue out there this last season. Just super slow
@@dwightcurrie8316 Agreed, Pops is done, he just hasn't come to grips with it (so to speak)...might have something to do with his tour of u-s-s-r
@@braize6279 I guess going cold turkey in a Russian prison has it's long term effects....😂
At first I thought Sabally wanted to play with Clark but after seeing the same vid everyone else has seen not sure. She was asked flat out Angel or Caitlin and without hesitating said Angel. Also on several other interviews Ive seen her speak rather negatively on Caitlin. The Fever dont need that , either you are all in or go for new meat. Sabally is a good player but just maybe not good chemistry with the fever. just maybe not good chemistry with the fever.
Sab Story also seems to be injury prone and, imo, covertly jealous that CC has so many awesome fans. She's a good player that ''seems'' to be an ok person, but there's just something about her......
Chennedy Carter? Will coxt the Sever her salary PLUS a full time psychiatrist.
Truly hope White doesn't take or want anyone from the Suns or Sky both are toxic teams
Dude no way we would or should trade Mitchell for plum. There is literally only two players on our team that are a MUST KEEP AT ANY AND ALL COSTS. That's Clark and Mitchell all the other players we could easily and viably replace and get around the same output. Yes even ab. Ab had glimpses of brilliance tjis past season but it was incredibly inconsistent. Now if she steps it up then sure she can be a must the year after. But get rid of anyone who would otherwise get in the way of keeping Mitchell. She's paramount to our chances. Pay her the max and drop Samuelson or anyone we can't afford. And go get sabaly or Tina Charles cause I like her.
@chicksdigscars please if you have the opportunity take the correct pipe away from Ben Daniel.
I would prefer to keep Smith rather than have an even worse cancer in the locker room. Also, does anybody actually think that Carter is actually measurably better than Mitchell?
Jewel Lloyd, isn't she the one that pretended to tie her shoelaces to give Clark a breath? If so, number one priority bring her to town, she clearly respects Clark, and probably would enjoy playing with her and for this franchise that has sent a message, a very clear message that their goal is winning games, not activation.
Jackie Young was the one who pretended to tie her laces and check on Caitlin.
@@Willard-l7t 🎯🎯
As Willard said, that was Jackie Young, in an Aces game.
With all the drama and rumors about Seattle Storm, I'd be wary about bringing in anyone from that team unless I had access to credible information about what actually led to the drama there.

Kelsey goes nowhere. Stop I’m gonna unsub. 😮
Chennedy Carter is more broken than Nalyssa Smith.
#sottxix
Things never change, even in the off season. Instead of commenting and engaging into the topic presented, you guys continue with hate talk and name calling. Grow up people or get a life. Does anyone notice that the olny channels bringing up all the so called drama from last season is Ckark supported channels. Everyone else is over it. Find something new to harp on. 🧩🧩🧩🤞
Chennedy Carter would takeout CC EVEN IF they were teammates.
Nope, and even You Know Better than that
1st. Yahoo......
You’re a yahoo😂. Jk gg on first. Maybe one day I can snag it. #cousins united!
LOL!
