Robin reacts to the big offseason moves for the Indiana Fever in WNBA free agency. For more coverage check out Women's Fastbreak On SI! www.si.com/ons...
This woman in your video comments yesterday was telling me Fever were not going to being any high end free agents. 😂 I love how this is working out for all the people that said nobody including Mitchell wants to play with Clark.
YES! I knew they had to have another forward. Everyone on social media was rooting for specific guards they wanted to see join the Fever, but their only player that subbed for Temi when she was injured, was AB. Now that temi is gone, they needed another like AB.
The fever now has the best staff in the league IMO. They know a lot more about the players available not just in the WNBA but world wide. Their goal is to win titles and I trust them to make the best moves possible.
Kelsey was the lock and Caitlin was the key to unleash Indiana. And the combination is what Kelsey needs as a fever veteran to deserve to see this thing through to run the league to champions.
I agree 100%, this move, and any other additions which could happen like an overseas signing, hopefully getting some value for NS, and a quality pick at 8 boom 💥! ☑️👌😎 JP
DB is still a free agent, if you have Howard down in the post with Boston helping them, and you get Dwanna out on the wing to help CC and Mitchell, I think would make a hell of a starting 5. Then have Lexi coming off the bench
Could we trade Smith for Martin? Smiths value isn’t much nowadays and Martin is just getting started but would be great off the bench or even a starter. She also knows CC very well.
Just an observation: The Irish hype dude lost me when he would stop talking in the middle of a sentence and start typing a response to someone on line. Then, when he finished typing, he couldn't remember what he had been talking about half the time. You are not typing, but you do stop in the middle of a sentence and start reading your screen. Reading your screen is NECESSARY when you are responding to comments, but if you are talking to us, TALK TO US, and read your screen later when that portion of your program starts. I like your presentations, but the 'dead time' instances seems to becoming more frequent. You are too good to continue doing that, and I believe that you are not even aware. Said one friend to another!
Objectively the Sun is setting, the Storm are mostly cloudy, the Aces are folding, 😷 leaving the Fever, the Lynx, and the Super Team Liberty to battle it out... As I see it, but the games have to be played, so should be a fun season. ☑️👌😎 JP
Keeping Mitchell is a retention, not an addition. A good coach sure helps. They've added a veteran with a very good resume. However, is this enough to beat the Liberty or the Lynx? Hopefully, the Fever will add more depth to accomplish this.
This is hardly a big move. Adding a 33 year old for 1 year is not a significant improvement. And no, the Fever have not added to the core. They have added a declining player for a season. So far the free agent season has been essentially a bust. Mitchell has been a given all along so you can't count what you already had. Now things could change quickly, in one day. But please no more old declining players.
All the free agent signings are for one year… pending the new CBA in 2026. Bringing back Mitchell was the status quo. Howard will play defense and this team needs defense.
She was not in playing shape last year after having her baby. Hoping she will work on her speed and shooting. There is certainly plenty of time during this very long off season. She is a terrific person and great team mate if she can get into playing/shooting shape she is an asset.
@@gale826 Tired of the baby excuse. Hamby has a toddler and a two year old and never lost a step. KLS may be a good teammate and person. But as a player she is slow, uncoordinated, barely rebounds for a 6'3" player. She is almost as worthless as Kristy Wallace.
@@gale826 - I don't really understand that, coming in out of shape, but still getting a max 3 year contract??? ( I know she CAN be good, playing pretty well with that other league) ...
Flourishing? Because they resign a player that was never going to leave-this year anyway? Howard isn’t the player she was, especially defensively. You Indiana barkers keep bringing up old news and stats. She’s older now and is injury prone. She can score but the Fever don’t need that. They need defense and a bench. First Sabally and now Howard. What’s the attraction for Indiana? Both were defensive liabilities on the only team that was worse defensively than the Fever. So to improve, the Fever look to the team that gave up more points than them? Screwed. Who else wanted Howard? Anybody? She’s on a one year deal and like last year, will be playing for herself. If you had watched the Wings more than a few games you would have saw she’s not that defensive player anymore. There must be a few more Wings players the Fever could add. Lol.

She's on every channel spewing gibberish

Need another add with a 3/4 position selection. Got enough salary cap to do some shopping.

Natasha is finna bring the pain!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 She got 2 rings, so she knows what it takes to get to the big dance n win.
Dunn would have never done any of this, knowing her, she would have went after Reese who can't make a layup.
Sabally would have ended up taking shots away from our core 3. We got the perfect fit for us.
Breaking it down even more - the cult is as ignorant as a mud fence. A box of chocolate won't help, diapers might.
The playing in unrivaled during trading was key to where players ended up.
They still need a rebounding PF

Katie has been doing pretty good in unrivaled.
It would be nice to see them get Citron, Westbeld and then Kitley from the Aces
Don't forget Reagan Beers???
6'4 Center out of Oklahoma!!!
Also??? Morrow LSU forward???

In my opinion Lexi has earned a starting spot. But she could fill in at multiple positions.
DB is not coming to Indiana🤔Just ask Alyssa. Great Job Fever with your New Enforcer plus u still have your #8 pick plus Grace plus the Waiver wire
Could we trade Smith for Martin? Smiths value isn’t much nowadays and Martin is just getting started but would be great off the bench or even a starter. She also knows CC very well.
No

Sabali's health durability is a big concern.
No Bonner please stop it
One more BIG and Mabrey, it's game over.
Pretty good pickup. I assume that hurts our chances for picking up Meesseman now though.
CC going make living under the goal for Howard by feeding her a lot
What about plum

You kid but sheryl was legit trying to get KM and lexie out lol. Don't you remember when she said she talked to them last season?
Any obvious trade partners for nalysa smith and what do you think her value would be?
I think we gonna bring in another forward as well

4:21 3 all stars and still got bounced
Can we just cut Smith?
Smith is still on her rookie deal,so is Hull,Boston,CC22,Berger and Saxton
She gone now!!
You still have Diana T
Smith got traded, and sofie cunningham is comming to fever
Anyone know when Grace will be back? Love to see her in the lab.
Grace's team in Turkey has their last game March 15. Don't know what happens with that.

Howard will play defense and this team needs defense.
We don't want Mabrey on the Fever! She is a friend of Dejanea.....so that says something about her character unfortunately.
U a grown man?
Are you crazy?
She's on the same team. What? Is she supposed to spit on the floor when she walks by?
Who cares about unrivaled let those watch who want to watch. I personally wasn’t impressed but that’s just me!
Dwanna Bonner
Katie Lou is a good teammate and can give a few good minutes here and there.
She was not in playing shape last year after having her baby. Hoping she will work on her speed and shooting. There is certainly plenty of time during this very long off season. She is a terrific person and great team mate if she can get into playing/shooting shape she is an asset.
KLS had no production. Not worth the money Fever is playing her.

@@MikoManII I'm not defending the 3 year max contract. IMO it was a HUGE mistake but it is what we are saddled with.
Howard and smiths IQ are about the same both take bad shots but Howard’s engine is 10xs better ❤ great pickup
We have the coaching staff to correct all of that y’all
Marrs
Marina told Carrington to poke her in the eye. Was not a 3 to the dome. Read her lips.
Geesh! Are people still believing this false, stupid narrative?
Man, you and Mic, are really trying to sell this Howard deal. She's old slow, and expensive. Ohh and the wife's a hater, what could go wrong.

She had a one off year with a losing team. She will 💯 play more defense for a team she knows has a chance to win. 💀
It's been 11 days, it seems like 6 months for those that believe truth trumps lies.
Troll Much
Glazing a 33 year old role player is an interesting choice
Temi is 32
She's a very solid complementary player - just what they needed
