| We must be expecting some of the top prospects to return to school next season. Or we just don't know to rebuild. EDD is a great player...when she can play. And is she willing to leave the DC area? I'd also pass on SDS - too much drama. We don't need her influence on our young players. I would happily welcome Nneka and Cloud.

| They better get Nneka or EDD because if they don't, this is a bad move...Trading a lottery pick and signing SDS only makes sense if EDD or Nneka is part of the equation....Seattle isn't going far if Loyd/SDS is taking 35 shots per game.

| I’m a little surprised Seattle isn’t going full tank mode and instead is doing a quick rebuild with vets. They did just invest a lot into the practice facility. They gotta keep ticket sales up. I don’t think the FO wants to do a full rebuild so they are going the PhX route by cobbling together vets. I could see them getting EDD or Nnekaand being moderately competitive. Slots 3 - 8 are completely up for grabs.

Lol. I hadn't thought about the two of them together in quite that way. Pretty funny to visualize it.

| The 2024 Storm are beginning to look a lot like the 2022 Mystics to me. Which is to say, a bunch of players that I would root for (Diggins-Smith, Magbegor, Russell), if they played for any team other than Seattle.

Not saying it's gonna happen...but I see a scenario where Seattle lands both EDD/Nneka.......Wahington doesn't trade EDD to Phoenix because they won't part with the #3 pk in this year's draft....EDD then gets traded to Seattle.
Russell/Horston/future 1st rd pk for EDD........Mystics get a young player with upside and 1st rd pick.
Seattle then signs Nneka
Another option would be Seattle landing Bonner/Nneka

In a very selfish way, I would hate that. Horston was my favorite rookie last year.

Seattle looks like a legit title contender...No excuses to not at least finish with a top 4 record.
Shyt...What if they get D.Bonner?

Not sure we have the cap space for Bonner. But it’d be fantastic!
NNEKA'!!!!!!!!!!! What a lineup! 4 All-Stars in the starting lineup.

Until worst case scenario nneka misses her annual chunk of games and SDS declares war on the front office via social media lmao. Good luck though.

I wonder if they are thinking they will start Sami on the wing or Horston.
This is a really exciting lineup.

My guess is that Horston will start with Sami being one of the first off the bench along with Russell.
The thing that excites me about the line-up is how defensive-minded they are. Really great defenders across the board.
Injuries are always a concern. That is what usually derails these “super” teams that are pieced together with aging veterans. Whatever happens, it will be exciting to watch.

Nneka played in & scored in double figures in 34 of 36 games she played in last year, according to the Storm press release announcing her signing.
