[MambaMentality24]

SHOW ME A PLAYER
shytTING ON 95% OF THEIR TEAM
LIKE THIS.

SHE SAID HER AND KAMILLA
ARE THE ONLY PLAYERS WHO
SHOULD BE BACK NEXT SEASON.


​

She didn't though.



7 players are unrestricted free agents. They may core Atkins because they gave up the 3rd pick for her but realistically, Angel and Kamilla are really the only viable players left on the roster after that.

DUDE I HAVE THE WHOLE ARTICLE.
SHE shytTED ON EVERYBODY
EXCEPT KAMILLA

“I’m not settling for the same s−−− we did this year,” Reese told the Tribune. “We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me

The Sky front office has targeted Atkins, Vandersloot and Rachel Banham as three veterans to potentially bring back through free agency. Hailey Van Lith and Maddy Westbeld remain under contract alongside Reese and Cardoso, although the rookies could be dealt in trades. The 2026 roster also will include the addition of 2025 draft pick Ajša Sivka — who sat out this season to play in the EuroLeague — and a lottery pick conveyed by the Connecticut Sun.

That accounts for potentially nine roster spots, yet Reese anticipates a substantial overhaul this winter. She believes there are only two guarantees on the 2026 Sky roster: herself and Cardoso. Between the expansion draft and free agency, the rest of the group is unknown.

Reese identified free-agency needs across the roster — including a backup post and a fleet of shooting guards who can get downhill and shoot 3-pointers more efficiently than this year’s backcourt — but her main concern surrounds the point guard position.

While praising Vandersloot’s abilities and leadership, Reese balked at the prospect of building the roster around a point guard attempting to return from an ACL tear at age 36. And she doesn’t believe backup options such as Banham or Van Lith are better prepared to carry the mantle on a playoff team.

YOU CANT DO THIS MID SEASON
AND EXPECT NO CONSEQUENCES.

SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING
AND WAS FINE WITH THE OUTCOME.

SHE GOT HER POINT ACROSS

I was responding to you saying "she said her and Kamilla are the only players who should be back next season", but in relation to "shytting" on her teammates, I don't agree that she that either.

Valid, evidenced-based concern.

And she doesn’t believe backup options such as Banham or Van Lith are better prepared to carry the mantle on a playoff team.

Also valid but this can be taken out of context unless you look at her direct quote - “We can’t rely on Courtney to come back at the age that she’s at,” Reese said. “I know she’ll be a great asset for us, but we can’t rely on that. We need someone probably a little younger with some experience, somebody who’s been playing the game and is willing to compete for a championship and has done it before.”

HVL and Banham have zero experience leading a playoff team as PG in the WNBA.

The journalist is being called out bc it should've been released in a few wks

Angel been supporting these terrible broads publicly all season

But enough is enough. These broads don't even respect Angel as the team's best player. These broads make some of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen on a court. These broads give up season highs to every backcourt they face. They are terrible.

Angel is a winner and she shouldn't stand for this. The front office sabotaged this season & tried to sabotage her standing on the team. They really wanted her to be #4 or #5 in the pecking order.

We really lived through 7 games of Sloot leading the team in FGA and icing Angel out of the offense, before she got hurt.

The only reason Angel was an all star this yr is bc Sloot got hurt, and it shouldn't have taken that.

Angel does not deserve this incompetence. She's the only one competing night in and night out at a high level.
