Not necessarily. There is an expansion draft coming for the Bay Area team that starts playing next summer.

I guess a trade is always possible. I don't know how many players are protected, but currently she's 3rd/4th on the totem pole. So I think she'll be protected.

Other factors:
- Fever could potentially draft a player next yr they value more too
- Mitchell is also a free agent after this season. Though you'd think she'll re-sign

The very last thing on my list is WBB but if Caitlyn keeps getting shoved around I might start watching waiting for the ultimate hair pulling.

I'm not a WNBA fan period. A league that is LOSING money and basically no one really cares about. One player is bringing attention, crowded venues, charter flights and catching flak and abuse from a "class" of playa's. Yeah, abuse the one relevant reason bringing attention to this game. She has the misfortune of being a white player.

Griner just now starting her season and is already able to keep up with A'ja. Both 10 of 17 covering each other. A'ja better at FT line where Griner was rusty. Epic battle according to ESPN.

Video highlights.

I don't follow the WNBA, but people that get drafted number one overall in most sports are typically not going to great teams.

She seems to have been cast in that role, whether she asked to be or not, and she appears to be content with it.

Reese's actions on and off the court are wants painting her as the bad guy. A role I might add she's clearly seeking out. The color of her skin has nothing to do with it.
However if we want to play the race card… the color of Clark's skin has everything to do with why 90% of the league dislikes her for no apparent reason.

You are partially correct. The color green is involved and brings on quite a bit of jealousy as well.

Just look at her game yesterday vs Indiana. 1 hard, flagrant foul where she clocked CC in the side of the head. Reese said "I was going for the ball" but if true it was a terrible attempt as she missed the ball by 2 feet and hit CC on the side of the head. If she was really going for the ball she would've helped Clark up, thats what you see all the time with accidental contact plays; you see it in college ball, the NBA, & WNBA. Help the player back up and let them know it was accidental. Reese? No, she just stood there over Clark looking down at her as if to reinforce the message she just sent. Later in the game Reese gave a hard two handed shove in the back to Nalyssa that knocked her down. Reese certainly plays like the "bad guy" and defends herself in the media afterwards, so she seems to embrace the characterization.

Reese made the comment in the press that she would take the "bad guy" role.

She has this unique ability to play the bad guy role. Yet she has no problem playing the victim over and over in the media.
Used to be a big fan on her. But she's got a ton of growing up to do

No. Just a fan who appreciates winning coaches who made recruiting easy. We've only had two in our hundred year plus history.

The trajectory she's going and the improvement her team has made since her joining the team. Yah she is a force multiplier for sure. If she stays healthy I she's going to be one of the greatest WNBA players

I actually think she ends up being the greatest of all time. There's just hasn't been a player with her skill set. You can already argue she's the greatest passer the WNBA has ever seen and she's played 30 games.
This is all assuming she stays healthy. With the amount of petty/jealous flagrant fouls committed against her I won't be surprised if someone ends up hurting her.

Iowabear, I will openly admit that I underestimated her ability to translate her game to the W.N.B.A. She continues to improve and truly has a zeal to win.
