They can "core" her. It's too complicated for me, but I think Kelsey get big $$ and stays. She's got a good deal going with the Fever.

She’s just mad because Caitlyn’s hair is real and she got hers from a horse.
So you're saying there's a horse running around somewhere with a bald spot.
You are right. I updated the post above with what follows. And note that Caitlin becomes an unrestricted free agent after the 2030 season but the Fever could then "core" her and keep her another 2 seasons (through 2032).
A team can core ONE veteran free agent. Between January 1 and January 14, a core qualifying offer can be extended to any player who would otherwise become an unrestricted free agent. Like other qualifying offers, the team and player may still negotiate a contract with different terms.
Core qualifying offers have an expiration date of March 7, but the core designation remains. If a player signs any contract, whether it is the qualifying offer or a negotiated contract, while under the core designation, they will be considered that team's one allowable cored player until the contract expires, is terminated, or is traded.
Once the core qualifying offer has been extended, the player may not sign a contract directly with any other team. The core designation gives the team exclusive negotiating rights with the player. The core qualifying offer is a franchise player tag WNBA teams give to a player who would otherwise hit unrestricted free agency. The qualifying offer compels the potential free agent to negotiate solely with the team that cored her. The player gets offered a guaranteed supermax salary for one year in return.
Players who have played 2 or more seasons on contracts that were signed while under the core designation may not be cored again. This means if a player is given the core designation in the 2025 preseason and negotiates a two-year contract while still under that designation, they will not be able to be cored for the remainder of their careers once the contract expires in 2027.
If the core qualifying offer is not extended or is withdrawn, the player becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Dallas is a different team with Sabally playing & a bad match for Indiana who give up the most 3's in the league. Curious to see how the last 9 go.As shown below, the Fever have the easiest remaining schedule of any WNBA team (followed by MN and Atlanta). 2 of the Fever's remaining games, however, are against the Aces; they have 1 game left vs the Lynx.
It's funny how the Fever could sign Kelsey Mitchell to a supermax one-year deal.
Check out what a one-year supermax-like deal looks like in the NBA.

You really need me to explain that? I was implying that someone might have said something unkind to her about being black and/or gay. Most likely though they were just talking huge amounts of trash. I hope so at least.
Just learned that Carter has moved into "Questionable" or "Day to day" for play. What a miraculous recovery. Was under Covid protocol and today was changed to non-Covid illness. Unreal. Never gets old with the Sky. Changed from Covid to non-Covid in one day.
So what you are saying is you posted something based on something you imagined might have happened.
High quality info you provide.
Caitlin looks jacked in this photo.
She’s put on some serious muscle since at Iowa 4 months ago.
Yes, I said that in my original post that I was imagining what happened. Super novel on the internet, right?
The History of Hate in Indiana: Rise of the KKK
There was a time in the 1920s when being seen as a good, upstanding Hoosier meant joining the Ku Klux Klan.

Compared to the people making racially demeaning animal jokes or trotting out the same tired BF joke I think wondergrape deserves, at least, a Young Lions Fiction Award. If that's still a thing.
To me you said it’s not hard to imagine. Every state in the union has racists and hateful people, so I thought you were hinting at something that actually happened. Also put me in the column of not liking your post.
That's fine. I experience that same feeling whenever people call the folks who don't love Caitlyn Clark racists without any evidence. It happens constantly around here. Feels kinda sketchy, doesn't it?
No. If it happens constantly around this board, find me 2 examples of someone calling people who don't like caitlin racists.
Wow…you’re quick to claim racism when you admonish others for saying the same thing. Your hypocrisy shows again, my friend.The History of Hate in Indiana: Rise of the KKK
There was a time in the 1920s when being seen as a good, upstanding Hoosier meant joining the Ku Klux Klan.
No…you’re very much a one-sided hypocrite. That’s been proven multiple times.
I only had to go back one page to find this gem. There are plenty more.
I'm not one sided at all. I just think people are insane when it comes to the Caitlin Clark dynamic.
But you don’t think people are insane regarding the Angel Reece fanbase, or any other fanbase. You think people cheering (Reece especially) when Clark was blindsided by Carter wasn’t racism? Stop the act and be real….
Of course I do. Every facet of the Reese/Clark dynamic is sensationalized and moronic. Tons of people who hate Clark because she's white, and tons of people who hate Reese because she's black.
That doesn't make Angel Reese racist though, and it doesn't make Caitlin Clark racist. There are differences between people and conversations about people. That gets forgotten. We all complain about the media. Well guess what, WE are the media in the modern world. We should all think about this before we put something out there.
I assume that that's the root of the hate. I can't think of another reason why that poster would consider those particular people "racists". If there is another reason, that's my bad.
You're seeing what you want to see in my posts. Actually read what I write. I'm not a crazy person like so many out there these days.
ESPN is disingenuous to call this "rookie rankings" when it is clear that this tool's "advanced metrics" are absolutely broken. Offensive rebounds carry WAY too much weight in this, and the proof is in everything from plus/minus rating with the two on the floor, to wins per minutes played. A math geek who got way too high on his own supply.
As quick as you were to claim Indiana was racist, you can’t ignore the obvious. The targeting of Clark appears far more real and racially motivated than your lame “Imagine” statement from earlier.
I’m actually calling out exactly what you’re writing. Now your side-stepping and trying to downplay your own implications.
I don't see that at all. I see a young phenom blowing the roof off a league populated by women who have busted their asses for two generations and received teachers' pay for their efforts. It is insulting to them, and they would be irrational if they didn't want to prove that they are better than her at every turn. It just so happens that most of them are black, which makes the optics very tempting for many people to claim "racism". Yet, when I do it ONCE, people cry wolf. See what I'm getting at here?
Side stepping? I have answered all of your questions directly, and will continue to do so.
Mj broke his foot in the first week of play his rookie year and did not return until late in season.
Just for context.
As Monica McNutt said, cheer for “dark and queer.” Amirite?
Well, that's reprehensible and stupid if true. I'm not familiar with that quote.
By calling Indiana racist, then discrediting racism from black people. GTFO 🤣🤣🤣
