***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***

Big trade involving the Indiana Fever!!!

Phoenix gets Satou Sabally
Dallas gets Nalyssa Smith plus Indy's 8th pick in the draft
Indiana gets Sophie Cunningham

Not a fan of this.

Smith needed to go but Cunningham stinks and has off the court baggage that Caitlin doesn’t need.

I think they should have kept Smith and the pick for now and tried to fond a better trade.

What is the off the court baggage with Cunningham?
 
Bummer giving up 8th pick but Cunningham is good and plays hard. Funny she was recruiting Clark to come to Phoenix at All-Star game court-side during the game. Well….little different outcome but it kind of worked out for her lol. Hull and Cunningham will drive single male ticket sales for sure.
 
"I feel like now - I'm at Lady Vols games and I'm just like--- y'all just don't know what Carver Hawkeye looks like tonight..... Carver hawkeye Arena with Caitlin Clark in it-- that's like kryptonite in a bottle. It's something special"

Camille Gear spent 2+ year covering Caitlin Clark and now is back at her alma mater covering Tennessee in Knoxville.

If they get brink they would have the three hot presumably straight blondes with the W.

Not trying to derail the thread, but Cunningham is very outspoken politically and it has caused some issues with teammates in the past.

I just think it's setting Caitlin and the rest of the Fever up to be asked about if they agree with Cunningham's statements and beliefs.

I don’t think this trade gets made without clearing it with Caitlin first.

This is what I have read also. Her particular political persuasion is not the typical one for the WNBA and one of the team stars called her out publicly for it.
 
Have to give the Phoenix GM an A+ for basically getting Sabally for Cunningham straight up. Phoenix on paper looks pretty damn good right now..
 
Sabally mentioned it as well - they must not have liked playing at a college arena. Rumor is that Paige might threaten to go back to uconn for another year unless dallas trades the #1 pick.
Not weird on that but weird that she prioritized the choicest facilities over quality of teammates and coaching.

Smith HAD to go and the other teams knew that. It limited the Fever’s ability to get a better deal. Howard for Smith is a great upgrade. Sophie can relieve Lexie and Kelsey. Berger will relieve CC 5 minutes or so a game. The Geber now have 11 players under contract. I think a big girl from Europe will be signed soon as that is all the team needs, someone to relieve Boston and Howard as Boston needs breathers and can be foul prone. This will be a fun, winning team that gets along well and coached well. Just need to get one more big girl. We don’t need a draft pick this year.
 
Just heard a podcast about Cunningham on a really team friendly deal and that the Fever have another max contract available ….maybe something interesting on its way…..
