Stewart Tweeted and Instagrammed this morning, scroll up for a link.
What happens to Johannes if Sloot goes to NY? |
Johannes becomes the first guard off the bench and still gets a good number of minutes. In 2022 Ionescu averaged 32.3 minutes and Vandersloot 26.5. Right there would be 21 minutes per game for Johannes. But if I were Sandy Brondello I'd reduce Vandersloot's minutes a bit to keep her fresh for the playoffs. Might want to slightly reduce Sabrina's minutes as well.
I am skeptical that Vandersloot is coming to New York, but that's just a guess. |
It's Official now . Shes with NYL.

Well wow ok
If Seattle doesn’t want to lean into a rebuild I agree they should resign Charles and probably throw a max offer sheet at Mabrey

So far we have absolutely no idea what Seattle wants to do.

Tough to go into rebuild mode when you have an Olympian in her prime. There's no real way you will get value for Loyd in a trade, but you also run risk of her walking next year for nothing if the team is totally starting over.
I'm a big Loyd fan, but it is hard for me to think you can build a championship contender around her as your top player.

So much for hoping to trade Stewie and get literally anything back. Thanks a lot, ESPN talking heads, for teasing absolutely nothing in the end.
We need to trade Loyd for whatever we can get and just start tf over. Put ourselves in the running for a Caitlin Clark & whoever else. There’s nothing else left to do, and not a whole lot of difference-makers left to sign anyway.

| My fear is Seattle waited to late to try and make a trade for Lloyd.

| We could’ve handled this whole thing a bit better. We’re gonna have lots of cap space to work with in case anyone wants to dump someone on us between now and the trade deadline though.

Chicago but beside future picks they don’t have a lot to offer? Picks and Hebard and/or Evans
LA is looking to stay relevant would Carter and future pick work?

lean into 3x3, which appears to be Force 10's strength? You only need a couple of more signings for that!

| You'd want to see who ends up declaring for the draft, but Loyd straight up to Minnesota for the No. 2?

I’d accept. Though the Lynx have McBride, Powers, and apparently now TMitchell, so they’re probably good on the “scoring wing player” variety and will continue sticking to going for posts & PGs.

Next year, the #2 pick could be an All Star and potential future Olympian....This year not so much. The problem for that genius Seattle front office (u know the ones that wasted $ on Dupree and Lavender) is that getting a 2024 lottery pick for Jewel would be great (assuming the Storm also are in the lottery), Loyd's presence might elevate her new team out of this year's bottom 4, Somehow, based upon current operations (the Storm are in some weird game of reverse musical chairs, where other teams scoop up desirable players, and Seattle will take whoever is left), playing this kind of three dimensional chess might be beyond them.

I was thinking something similar- Loyd is special but her "type" - a 2 guard that shoots a lot - is not exactly a rare commodity and not the type of thing a team will trade away their future for.

| Any 2025 1RP, 2024 1RP, or 2023 Top 8 pick (above what we have now with the #9) – along with anything else anyone would like to throw in – I’d accept. It’s Doom & Gloom SZN.

I guess. But Loyd is a lot better than any of those. A lot better. And in this league you have to have stars. The spare parts don't mean a lot unless you have the stars.

Minny also would probably have to send back one of Powers or McBride to have enough cap space so Loyd for Powers and #2 (I would still do it if I was either team).

We're lucky that NYL was a badly run mess for most of Bird's time here. She had multiple chances to go home (with plenty of speculation that she would) but she chose to stay in Seattle.
That's not the case any more.
I, for one, welcome the new superteam overlords of the WNBA. One probable benefit will be a much better TV deal for the league.

| Kia Nurse, Arella Guirantes, now it sounds like Sami Whitcomb is in the process of coming back – look at all the Jewell Loyd replacement players we’re collecting lmfao

From a New York Liberty fan: I've never recovered from that game in Seattle years ago which looked like a certain Liberty win until Sami Whitcomb came off the bench for the Storm and hit about 30 three-pointers!
I was delighted when Sami came to New York, loved her play on the court, and from print interviews and videos seems like a great person. I'm sorry we're losing her but wish her great success back in Seattle.

t-god there was no suspense with re-signing our official new foundation piece of the franchise (she used to be our future of the franchise of sorts, but the future is now here…)
i’ll be interested to see if we gave her extra money as a show of good faith in hopes of re-signing her in the future – or even just to tell her she’s gonna be the first option this year if we trade Loyd lol
