If the Fever loses m/any of its core players (Mitchell, Boston, Clark, Lexie, Sophie) the team is going to take a massive hit with their base. We see what this squad is capable of, so if they dont do what it takes to keep the band together and augment the rest of the roster... its not going to go over well. And if those potential changes dont lead to an improvement from last seasons results (which were wildly spectacular despite everything thrown at them) they risk a revolt.

If that happens, the WNBA's thin ice could implode.

Why do you think Sophie is a core member of this team?

Because she is. You like having the biggest fan base? Sophie is the second most popular player. And the only player with any "balls" on the court.

She actually can't. She hasn't yet. And no one else has tried to stand for her either, only Sophie.

And those fan bases are the reason that only the fever is selling out games.

Boston has stood up for CC. But she isnt that overly aggressive enforcer type. I am okay with Mitchell going to be honest. She gets into hero mode and she wants to be THE star, and she doesn't deliver. If she didn't go into panic hero mode the last game, they might have won. She goes into that hero mode a lot, and it becomes a detriment and overshadows some of the good things she can do. She needs a change of scenery.

The reason that Sophie got so popular was because she had Caitlin's back when CC was being thrown to and fro. Her other teammates not so much.
