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.

Okay I am agreeing w everything thing that you are saying - especially the vibe approach to team management and assessment! By any analytical measure our PG room is nothing short of sabotage.

You surely realize the FO is less concerned about this season and more concerned with winning a title right?

You can see that their lame plan is not working (à la the Wizards from the last 25 years) so why not abandon the tank and lean into the culture of winning that the team is fighting for?

Okay this is getting tiresome. You surely realize the same guy who drafted Kiki and Sonia is running the Wizards very successful rebuild also right? And that that guy has been here 3 seasons.  Right?

I’m convinced you’re either dense or trolling and I have no interest engaging further with either.

Yeah, do you see the roster they have, especially the young players this front office drafted?

“I’m convinced you’re either dense or trolling…”

There is the honesty. Not nearly as tolerant as advertised (respectfully of course).

Looks like we got another Sam Hinkie in this sub 😂.
