WNBA thread… 28.5 ain’t your pay cut

This will likely be her final season.

Lauren Betts has the greatest upside in the Draft, presuming she comes out. But there will be an expectation for Dallas to select Bueckers so the sport can prolong the fiction that she's as good as Caitlin Clark. I'm sure multiple UConn alums-turned-ESPN-analysts will insist Bueckers is even better or, as a consolation prize, would have been without the injuries.

I believe the understanding with Betts is she wants to play a season with her sister, who will be a freshman next year at UCLA

I threw this in the NBA thread, but it probably belongs here.

I'd guess if Detroit is coming back, Houston wouldn't be far behind.

Cleveland is trying for a reboot as well

Don't count out Peyton and Candace's Tennessee Summitt. Nashville's WNBA bid names team after Summitt

Might as well add one more name to the franchise wanting list

The Detroit Shock moved to Tulsa (???) then eventually landed in DFW as the Dallas Wings. So the franchise continues, much as the Washington Senators (II) do in Arlington.

From all indications, this will be a brand new franchise, nothing to do with the Dallas Wings.

The Detroit Shock (II).
There are plenty of precedents.

It's a women's league so shouldn't it be Toxic Shock?

I'm a bad person for laughing at that.
