I live in a multi-unit complex. I share a wall in my living room with the living room of my next-door neighbor.

Several years ago, when the Minnesota Lynx were in the WNBA championship game, my neighbor was watching the game loudly on his TV.

All throughout the game, he was loudly criticizing the quality of the play, to himself. Yelling out things like "Pathetic!". "Just pathetic!!!"

The funniest thing he said, which I still randomly quote to this day, is "Should not be a sport!"

Anyway, discuss all things WNBA 2026 season here!

Preseason games start in 2.5 weeks, regular season in about a month.

As a resident of Minnesota, I'm rooting for the Lynx. The Lynx have been the only Minnesota professional sports team to have consistent success for the last 10+ years. They brought the first championship back to Minnesota since the Twins won the 1991 World Series.

Hopefully the growth of the sport continues in terms of viewership and game attendance.

When kaitlin and Reece, or other players vs Kaitlin, get into a fight this year i think the refs should move out of the way and let them go. Hockey rules. It's good for the game. Commisioner should say no suspensions and i'm happy are players care! It was good for hockey, why not the wnba? People say oh no, not good. C'mon we're all watching for that confrontation!

Kaitlin's bodyguard Sophie Cunningham i hope will be getting into it too. Remember last year when Maybry(think that's her name) decked kaitlin, later in the game Sohpie decked Mabry. That's a real teammate! But if/when something happens suspensions should be minimum. I mean we're watching for those players. And for the chance they go at it.

Would be like the old nba. Where Dr J and Bird were fighting and many others. The nba should do the same. Back when players cared! Now their all buddies and just want to chill.

The Fever are going to need to sign at least one more physical player, can't have Sophie be the only muscle. I always thought Chloe Bibby looked like someone you wouldn't want to mess with but she got taken in the expansion draft.

I think they could be in for a rough year, Phee is out for a while still most likely, Kmac apparently can't fly and Lan had a huge glow up and now is going to get a max contract.

They have the best coach, and she's a very good GM so hopefully it works out but they really had a shot the last 2 years to get a title and came up short.

The cap is really weird, teams need to pay 9-12 roughly 300k each and no one besides MN ran 9 player rotations. Teams like NY and LV are gearing for 2 Max minimum rosters, and awkward convos for the 3rd wheels JJ and Gray.

Bridget Carleton will make 1.4M this year, love her as a role player and she'd fit on any roster in the league but damn.

Indy only gets to cheat on the contract for this year with CC, and don't for AB so their window is tighter than expected. She'll get a Max next year already so their best shot is this year before it gets tough to pay everyone.

The was so crazy when Angel Reece was on the bench and her dirty player teammate blindside's Caitlin away from the ball putting her to the ground. Then Reece stands up off the bench and vigorously claps like it was the greatest thing she's ever seen lol. Crazy stuff. Can't wait for the season to start.

I have the sound off and so far I can identify about six of the potential draftees, which seems pretty high.

Also her longtime girlfriend i heard. Interesting, never had 2 players on the same team that were a couple. Except them in college of course. Might not be a problem as would be like 2 star best friends joining forces to play. Except unless they ever break up or have relationship problems.

Another potential problematic draft pick is Raven Johnson to the Fever. Some say they should of went for a big instead of another guard. But not a bad pick if going on talent. Problem is Caitlin and Raven had some beef back in college. Caitlin waived her off to let Raven shoot kinda saying you can't shoot the 3. Think Caitlin fans got into it with Raven over twitter. It could work out as Caitlin and Raven could just hug it out and be professional about it. And as long as they play well together all will be forgotten. But many Fever fans are not happy and saying they should trade her already. Fever have had inter-team turmoil in the past already. I think i woulda not picked her just to avoid this drama coming. Like if Raven doesn't play well the fans gonna be on her. Also if Caitlin gets decked and Raven doesn't run to help her teammate fans gonna go nuts and say another Caitlin hater, and we drafted her to our own team.

Fever signed Myisha Hines-Allen the other day. Veteran known for her physical play. Fever thinking like you on this signing i think.

I listen to a lot of talking heads in DFW. Apparently the Wings have already had a couple on the team. All be it not the two players who are supposed to be the superstars.

Does position/size even matter that much in the WNBA? (no pun intended). Best available pick just seems like a no-brainer. Put out your 5 best players, and who gives a crap what the letter is after their name.

It's debatable if she was the best available. She's a good talent but there were others who were just as talented, if not more, especially a particular big that was available. And a big is a big need for this team. Where the Fever got way too many guards already. Raven herself said she was shocked she got picked that high.

Also people think this move is indicating that head coach Stephanie White will let Raven and Kelsey Mitchel take over being the ball dominated player phasing out Caitlin. Making Caitlin more of an off the ball role player standing in the corner waiting for when they give her a turn to shoot. Caitlin is not only a great shooter but a great passer as well. If you don't let her cook and use all her skills it will hurt the team. Some think coach White doesn't want Caitlin to get the shine for whatever reason.

While you are correct that position is just a label, size makes a huge difference in the women's game. And the Fever roster is exceptionally guard-heavy. They got bullied inside quite a bit last year and they've got even less size at this point than they did then.

Pretty much this. I don't have the impression that this draft was super deep, but Raven was definitely not an obvious best player available.

Not buying into this. I think more likely White just likes to have more ball handlers. Raven may bring it up, but it's still going to be Caitlin and Kelsey getting the ball in their hands and going to work.

What the Fever and Mystics ought to do is just swap half their rosters, would instantly make both teams better.
