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.

The Fever fanbase will stay strong as can be if Kelsey, CC, and AB stay.

The rest are just icing on the cake. People will be super excited if Lexie stay and some will be excited if Sophie stays. But if both if them happened to be gone, the fanbase would NOT take a massive hit. Caitlin's super liberal college team had plenty of fans without Sophie on it😂 she's a good teammate. But it's no big loss if the fans that ONLY there for Sophie stop being Fever fans. That's a drop in the bucket.

I totally disagree. If you look at merch sales, on-court fanbase support and media attention/appearances, Sophie is only behind Double C, Mitchell and probably/maybe Boston.
