johnnydoom Caitlin may now be expected to play in the Unrivaled league this winter. They don't start til Jan. & she may want to get back in action after being out so long at that point. Of course, that league may never go again, depending on what the new contract details include. If player salaries are greatly increased, the WNBA may keep them from playing anywhere in the offseason. With CC now done for the season, and no one can say IF she will ever play again, will that have bearing on the talks now? Obvious who brought the eyes to the WNBA, and their money. jmo, but I think it just affected the salary talks. And too F'N bad if she just caused the other players to lose something. Paybacks can be hell sometimes.
I will state here that imo her injuries were not directly from being roughed up, it was from all her gym work. BUT...the being roughed up did create the need for her excess gym work. So....a by-product of the rough play of others. And it may cost them now.
CC has had the same game, played the same game, since a little girl....if you watch vids and have watched her in NCAA games. The coaches knew what they had and built plays accordingly. Not White!
At no time during this injury absence did White state CC was 'needed' back on the floor. Other coaches have said such about their injured players, as to how much they are missed, etc.. Instead, they kept bringing in players that were hungry, could be 'molded' to fit her style of play calling. And it's now biting them in the ass.
If they miss the playoffs, and I do think they will, White cannot be back. (I don't think she will be anyway....unless by God's hand only, they win the Championship!😲)
CC would be a hard fit on any other team, unless it would be a total makeover(like the Sun). They all have their 'stars' in place. She has also now become a very hard fit on the Fever. As long as White is the coach. So, might we see an 'ask', if White is kept on next year?? Or 'ask' as a way of getting her out?🤔
I hate that Angel is suspended for tonight's game. I really did want to see the Sky kick the Fever asses!!(They may still)
Maybe she'll ask to be traded and the Sky will pay up? Imagine.
