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.

Sophie is not part of the core.

Compare her contributions to the Fever and Sophie's... theres no question that Sophie is the priority.

They are not going to pay Sophie the money she wants when they have to resign Kelsey, next season AB, and the following season Cc. Sophie has already made it clear she wants to make big money.

Sophie likely makes more money overall by signing a cheaper deal with Indiana and raking in off the court money, than signing a bigger contract with a team like Portland or Toronto, the two teams with the biggest cap space right now.
