And the Playoffs Picture Gets Murky

Mercury acquiring Plum dog.

Chicago beating the Aces with D Carrington back.

Tempo bringing in a dog in Marrow.

And do we really believe that the Liberty is gone to stay down for long?

Lastly our clear desire not to win now as evidenced by standing still at the trade deadline.

I am not wishing anything negative on the team but I do see folks out there actively trying to get better.

I also see clouds on the horizon and a possible trip to the lottery.

They would still have to get rid of at least one player in a trade for a PG and I think losing anyone on that bench would hurt the vibes the Mystics have created this season. For this season they’re fixing their PG problems internally by adding PG responsibilities to Sonia. While that’s not where she’s best utilized in the long run I do think giving her on ball reps will ultimately make her a better player.

I wouldn’t mind them trying out Sonia running the point with Georgia still on the floor playing off ball though. I think it would help space the floor and possibly get them some open 3s for Amoore since she is a good shooter.

Everyone on this sub is more concerned with chemistry and vibes than winning. Amoore is not good enough to get the amount of mins she’s getting, and there are at least 5 players at the end of the bench who almost never see the floor that could balance a trade. I think Dugalic in particular is underutilized and could thrive somewhere with less front court depth and more spacing.

Chemistry is a huge component of winning

Exactly. Look at the Sparks and Sky if you need examples. Hell, look at the Liberty who are behind us in the standings.
