Remember, this began with the Sky trading up *one* spot in order to draft Angel Reese in 2024. Obviously looks much worse in hindsight, but even then a lot of the sharper draft folks were saying "oh man, this seems kinda desperate..."
Olivia Miles first team All-WNBA or you're all fired
I figure most coaches consider it a blessing to have players left off
terryhorstman@terryhorstman.bsky.social · 4d agoI have no issue with Olivia Miles not being on the World Cup roster. She's been playing non-stop since training camp of the college season and the precedent of rookies making national team rosters all but rules them out. Makes a lot of sense to me.
Merc backup lineups have been a complete mess in rotation, just free shots for Atlanta
Wrote about Sydney Taylor for @swishappeal.bsky.social. #wnba #chicagosky www.swishappeal.com/wnba/84077/w...
Sydney Taylor’s rapid ascent gives the Sky reason for optimism
Chicago is in the midst of another disappointing season, but Sydney Taylor’s rookie campaign has been one to remember.

baffled by Morrow not even thinking about passing here
Lon Burnam, a former state lawmaker representing Tarrant County from 1997 to 2015, was carried out of the room by four sheriff deputies, who held him by his hands and feet: fortworthreport.org/2026/08/04/t...

don't think I've ever seen an eight-point trip before, Merc making history
Veronica Burton crossed Maria Conde all the way up jfc
I know Flau is going to make all-rookie and that's not what'll get to me (Asiter over Fam will be the one) but if Rice can be as good as she was, she should absolutely take Flau's spot
Valerie Valkyrie@beezygrey.bsky.social · last wk.IMMEDIATELY grabbed her spot on the all-rookie team back
Kiki Rice is so back in a way few have ever been back
Well congrats on capitalizing on your large growth by alienating your main core of fans for a group of people who will never watch your product and probably think your athletes shouldn’t be able to vote

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering
These are anti-MAGA state candidates in *extremely* close races

thoughts on a good return for LA, a fun risk for Phoenix, revisiting our 2023 draft board, and more!
The IX Sports@theixsports.bsky.social · last wk.WNBA trade deadline day is here! Phoenix and Los Angeles started it with a bang by making a deal involving Kelsey Plum. @emilyadler.bsky.social analyzes the deal and evaluates trade strategy for the Toronto Tempo in this week's WNBA Notes. www.theixsports.com/features/kel...
if you think you're gonna convince KP to re-sign or management has siad you gotta win, this deal makes good sense. nice pickup for LA too -- two solid pieces for an expiring deal
the Connecticut Sun have traded Aneesah Morrow to the Toronto Tempo for Maria Kliundikova and a second-rounder
where was the contact why didn't Jose sub for defense why didn't he use the reset timeout what was Jess doing what was Paige not doing every piece of that ending was wack
coincidentally, ignoring the fourth-leading scorer on the league's fifth best team probably would have done a lot to prevent all this alas
“Just ignore it” is advice you give a kid when their younger brother is being annoying on a car ride. “Just ignore it” when it comes to Sophie Cunningham soft-launching her anti-trans agenda is how you get Riley Gaines meeting with the fucking president.
