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

That's why they have their cap specialists. Contrary to the other poster, still under but not by much.
"The other poster" knows this. The comment was that they don't have enough room under the cap to fill out their roster or draft anyone without either releasing Brown or making some other deal.
 
With this being posted on the fever Facebook page, I wonder if this means another move is underfoot where someone like Wallace is being traded. Otherwise, it seems odd to post this if she is disposable.

"Incorrect. They are still over the cap"
"They don't have "the money" they are currently still over the cap"

I must have misread this. I thought it said they were still over the cap. My bad.........

The OP followed up later changing their stance a little bit.

Maybe she’s better than any player they could get in their spots in the 2nd round of a weak draft.

Yes he did. He should have said, "potentially still over the cap" should they try to fill out their roster. His bad....;)
 
If that is their position right now then they need to trade the picks for future draft picks.
Hard to do in a buyer’s market. Pretty much every team except for Dallas with the number 1 has shown a willingness to part with their draft picks this year. 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 have all been traded. Indy had to give up their 1st rounder just to get rid of Smith.

Good players can be found deep in the draft, but the hit rate is very low.
 
The other thing to remember is WNBA consistently draft overseas players and don’t sign them for a year or two. This could be Fever intent to get a players rights for NEXT year, when the roster is being remade due to cba.

Almost every player not on a rookie contract is going to be a free agent next year - I wonder if the core designation will be eliminated. It will be interesting to see the new CBA.

I saw last week in one mock draft showing they'd take sedona prince, who is 6'7 and playing well for TCU. Two days later I read an article where there are sexual assault allegations. Yikes. If Ayoka Lee falls in the draft she would be a good pickup. Otherwise, maybe this is just a year where draft picks aren't worth much.

I guess I had not considered that. Makes sense.
 
The drama in the WNBA is ridiculous. So, Nalyssa and Mustard are apparently no more just as they become teammates. And Aja had a shoe deal for two years but kept quiet about it while haters went after CC by playing the race card.

So it seems. One of those broadcasters likened the W more to WWE than NBA, in terms of things being scripted and controlled by the establishment. If that is true I cannot say.
 
Another signing. Backup post player. 2x 1st team All Defensive team player Brianna Turner.

This says for 85K. Puts them over the cap, so either Brown is gone or something is in the works for Wallace to not be on their books.

She certainly has rubbed many Caitlin and fever fans the wrong way, and seems prone to tweeting every thought she has. But I can’t imagine the front office hasn’t cleared everything with Caitlin first.
Would hope they cleared it first. If not it has the feeling of trying to dial back the freedom/independence of the CC playing style. Similar to the early part of last season where the coach played her off the ball. Hope it isn’t a control issue
 
Glad to be here in Indy? Let's see how this goes. From Ben:
She's blocking Fever Fans.

Don't care about her blocking people on Twitter. Will be interesting to see how she plays with the team when she shows up to camp. Until then I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Winning matters. Making money matters. A player with her talents busting their butt to do both will help the team considerably.

Just watch The Last Dance documentary and tell me that the Bulls team didn't have disfunction in its relationships. But they figured out how to set those aside in the lockerroom and on the court and won a title. Because winning mattered more than anything else to those players(minus the time that Rodman vanished to Vegas for a few days).
