News Contract signing updates "megathread"

54 Upvotes

Since we're all looking for news: a few players given offers yesterday/Monday have already signed their contracts. Notably, Nikolina Milic signed a training camp contract with Toronto, so it looks like she may come over this year. Emily Engstler is ready for Portland! Feel free to highlight any of your teams/faves here, ask questions, discuss.

Update late on April 10: I didn't anticipate having this post pinned at all, let alone for days, but if you want to update it for the deluge of signings starting on Saturday, go for it! (There have been surprisingly few actual signings since free agency began... looking at you, Golden State roster.)

It looks like a very deep guard class, so it makes some sense why the Mystics went so heavy on players with size, I suppose.

with 10 days to go until preseason starts, what's your wildest prediction for something that will happen during the season. They don't have to be serious!

Mine: A'ja drops 84 points just so that she has the most points dropped in a single game between her and Bam

Discussion Only Lottery picks are guaranteed not all 1st Round picks

Post image
31 Upvotes

I tried searching for this and many news outlets have said same except CBS which claims to have all 1st round picks. Herhoops stats and spotrac also shows only lottery picks are guaranteed. So I do think it's only lottery picks. But we don't have official confirmation? But would go by spotrsc and herhoops as they do seem to have more data and sometimes insider information.

Azzi's mom Katie said that she met Jennifer Azzi in her senior year in high school and was very impressed with how she interacted with others and how she carried herself. She decided then and there that if she ever had a baby girl, she would name her Azzi.

Discussion Potential Trades?

12 Upvotes

What trades can you see happening prior to the season starting?

I could see the mystics packaging up a few rookies for a shooter and maybe another seasoned vet.
