I just can't imagine how the Wings will cope without her. |

The sad thing is, the Wings really did need a post, and the most successful post to this point from the 2017 draft is... Brionna Jones? She of the 6mpg and 8 DNP-CDs. Plenty of time for them to improve in future years of course (or Coates to be good once she plays), but right now it's an absolutely barren year for bigs. |

The league is with Adidas. If a player doesn't have a shoe deal that's what they are obligated to wear.

If there is one coach in the WNBA that needs to be fired after this season, it's Fred Williams. I mean come on. They have a shit load of talent and yet, year after year, they do fuck all.
Vicki Johnson is a questionable coach as well, but I'm willing to give her a free pass this year because of all the fuckups from GM Ruth Riley. I'd fire Riley as GM before I fire Johnson.
Pokey Chatman is safe because the Fever are right where they're supposed to be since the retirement of their franchise player. Same goes for Amber Stocks. She's safe as well since losing EDD to Washington.
Jenny Boucek is also a bad coach but aside from a few starters, it's not like she has much to work with. Last year, they dismantled their roster and rebuilt it but besides Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird and once in a while Crystal Langhorne and Jewell Loyd, they have a pretty terrible roster. The best thing for them would be to miss the playoffs, get a lottery pick, and fire Boucek in that order. Then they can do another partial re-build in the off season. Sadly for the Storm fans and a player like Breanna Stewart, their championship total has ended at two. I don't ever seen them making much noise in the future. They tried to redo the Bird/Jackson combo with Bird/Stewart but Bird has about 2 drops left in her gas tank and Stewart, while a great player, will never be the star Jackson was, and a Loyd/Stewart combo, while possibly strong over the next few years, is NO Bird/Jackson combo.

Breanna Stewarts numbers this (2nd) season are pretty close to LJ's first MVP (in her 3rd season) in 2003 and better then her numbers in her last MVP season in 2010. Yes she will never replace LJ who in my eyes the GOAT but she is having a fantastic 2nd season and its not her that this team is failing
Stewart: 20 pts and 8,7 rebounds 48,2 FG% and 36,7% 3P%
MVP 2003 LJ: 21,2 pts and 9,3 rebounds 48,3 FG% and 31,7 3P%
MVP 2010 LJ: 20,5 pts and 8,3 rebounds 46, FG% and 34,6 3P%
