I would love to see Hayes on the Storms roster. But i doubt that she will sign anywhere for cheap Laughing

What is the maximum amount of salary a team can offer a restricted free agent?

Three years, standard max. Her existing team could go to four years at the supermax (so takes a sign-and-trade to play for that elsewhere).

I'm excited about Atlanta's off-season. This season was, well, eventful. I think the timing of all those changes was as bad as bad could be. But, 2022 is a new year and they can get things moving in the right direction.

Having the President/COO named is a great start to shore up the foundation of the team. She is familiar with sports, specifically Atlanta sports. Next will be a GM and coach. Whether that's 1 or 2 people remains to be seen.

Now, let's talk about the players.

Point Guard - The first thing is what happens with Chennedy Carter. I don't know if we will ever get the full story of what happened or know fully who's to blame. It's not really any of our business anyway. Does she come back to start? Can they have Carter and CWill on the same team? Do they hand the reins over to Aari McDonald? Will Aari go overseas this off-season and gain some valuable experience? What about Odyssey Sims? She played some good minutes, but I feel she's better off the bench. Also, her life is in Texas. I don't see her staying in Atlanta.

Shooting Guard - Courtney Williams has been the most consistent player the last 2 seasons. She needs a good strong backup though. She also needs another consistent scorer, especially down low, to ease the burden.

Small forward - Does Tip come back or does she chase a ring and money? She's been a star here, but I have a feeling she's played her last game as a member of the Dream. Stricklen brought not much this season. I would love for Angel to get healed and decide to play another season here. Bradford could be a good solid backup.

Power forward - Between Covid and pregnancy, Cheyenne Parker didn't get a chance to show what she could do. Hopefully she gets that chance and she comes back hungry in 2022. Billings is a great energy backup off the bench. If she can work on extending her shot this off-season, she could become a Hamby type bench player.

Center - EWill has given the Dream some good seasons and has been a good leader off the court. However, her best playing days are behind her, I'm sad to say.

So SF and C should be the biggest priorities. Not sure which we get in the draft and which we get through FA. I didn't realize how many FAs they had. Also have to think about what style the coach will want to play.

I'm going to be optimistic because I can be.

lso, check the contractual status of the roster (Richyyy can correct me if I am wrong):

    Billings: Restricted Free Agent
    Bradford: Restricted Free Agent
    Hayes: Unrestricted Free Agent
    Sims: Unrestricted Free Agent
    Stricklen: Unrestricted Free Agent
    C. Williams: Unrestricted Free Agent
    E. Williams: Unrestricted Free Agent

There is a lot of money to play with -- but also lots of decisions to be made.

As an aside, Cheyenne Parker is signed for $190,550 while Tianna Hawkins is signed for $144,200 in 2022. But only Parker's contract is guaranteed.


I think Hayes leaves for elsewhere . It's not her team anymore , i dont have any info just a hunch .She's paid her dues in ATL . Would like to see her go somewhere like Seattle next season . Carter coming to Dallas i would not touch with a ten foot pole. She has yet to play a full professional season anywhere . Hurt last season , Left overseas team after 1 month and suspended the 2nd half of the season this year. Arike & Carter would not be a good fit together IMO.



Wow, this is the first time I've heard about the overseas situation....sounds like she's used to having her way or maybe a result of only child syndrome, if she doesn't have siblings!


Shes the only girl i believe if that matters i know she has a lot of other siblings that are boys some even younger than her with the same show boating attitude smh.


Have you put your blueprint together for how you want Greg to draft/make moves for next year yet or is it too soon?

If you want a center Stephanie Dolson should be available.

That commentator should be ashamed of some of the things he is saying. That scene is awful and shameful but referring to people as EBT garbage is not it.

Also, was this video done by the same guy that posts here and slams Renee Montgomery ad nauseam?

“100% was self defense, we would never start an altercation. I would never condone fighting. The situation transpired, no weapons, no police was involved, and we all walked away unharmed, so we thought it would be a great story time to tell!”

I would never condone fighting but then the first comment is them looking for people to cosign their fighting and encourage them. This whole situation is gross.

Who is Carter's agent? He or she should be calling every team in the league trying to set up a trade. Because if Atlanta is not going to play Carter then they need to trade her. Immediately.

I'm all for Dr. Vanzant to be hired for Team Therapist. Perhaps she's a bit more freed up now that her Oprah-network TV show has came to a close.

Courtney Williams , Crystal Bradford and Courtney Williams IG Famous Girlfriend Amazon Tay got attacked by a group of girls at a lesbian club. Go watch their story time about it , Definitely was self defense they wanted to jump Courtney because they knew who she was. Don't watch that guys videos hes sexist and definitely not someone we should give clout too.

Sounds like the commentator is auditioning for a job to suckle at the big money teat of RacistRightwingMedia, alongside Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Diamond and Silk, et al.

I'm glad she demonstrated the common sense to take the video down, but why, in the name of all that is sweet and holy, would you ever think as a free agent, "Hey, you know what'll make me look good to other teams and really secure me that long-term big money contract? Video of me getting into a fight!" I don't care that it's self-defense or an interesting story or whatever, that is just an appalling lack of good judgment.

Kalani Brown was there to. But, she was at least trying to break up the fight. Bradford & Williams were going in.

I think the only solution here is to do a dispersal draft to break up the Dream followed by an expansion draft where Atlanta adrafts a whole new team.

The Dream only have four players under contract for next season, so the housecleaning is inevitable.
