Quita putting in work cranking out these update vids❤
Quita the go to channel for WNBA News, updates, and honest analysis! 👏👏👏
The thing about screaming, "I want out", is that someone has to want you. Otherwise, your out might end up...well, just being out. 😂
CT Sun need to move to Boston already. The lack of amenities for the players is why everyone wants to leave. Makes no sense they have all that land there and can’t build something for those ladies.
Agreed!
I now actually seeing the line up being Angel, Michaela, Kamilla Rebecca Allen and Vandersloot. Citron will be coming off the bench this season for Rebecca Allen. Not sure what PG they going draft for the 10th pick but that's how I see it all going. The PG will then learn from Vandersloop while Citron continue to learn from Rebecca Allen
Who tf is in the sun front office 😂😂
Good job Quita, your becoming the Mina Kimes of WNBA knowledge.
I love the Bec Allen trade she can shoot and defend
Miss Quita is "always" on point!! Another great show! For me it's the most informative show on the WNBA!!
SO happy for O. Sims❤
Kia was terrific early in the season but she had a bad leg which affected her shot. She had a great game at Indiana.
Do you think Te-Hina Pao Pao would be a good fit for the Sky
If she's available at the 10th pick then yeah😊
Ty Quita. I was out all day helping people move, and truly rarely get to watch any day until the evening. I love I just need to come to youtube and see your updates. Great updates, and plenty of info. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Quita! Any updates you’ve seen about Diana Taurasi?
1st! Love your quality clickbait-free content! Say hi to your mom!
I'm a Mystics fan but I think it would be fun for EDD to return to Chicago to help them make a run
Make a run? For 12th place instead of 13th?
There are a lot of good players on the bench because Old WNBA think new players have to pay their dues. 😢
You may be sleeping on Milic. She can really play.
As a Lynx fan, I never liked Milic. What she added to me never justified her playing time.
I’m so lost now. I’ll just have to wait till the season starts to see who is where. IJS
Dana and Carter get into it with each other.
Dana trashes the organization while Carter tells everyone she would love to come back to the Sky.
Those suckers picked Dana over Carter 😡...
Dawanna Bonner just signed with the Fever though Indiana looks great on paper though we about to see what Caitlin would look like if she had went to 1 of them colleges with 5 star talent surrounding her
If Seattle takes Olivia Miles with the #2 pick, should Chicago select Sonia Citron?
Nooooooooooo!!!!!
What would it take to make up to 2nd? #3, #10 and ???
hey quita thank you thank you for your dedication. love you n mom
It will prove to be a big mistake for Chicago not to resign Chennedy Carter. She proved last year that her scoring ability is way better than any guard that they have gotten and have.
@@lawrencem5664 she has locker room issues she is a cancer for teams and she started her bs last year with the sky and they were able to keep it quite and I think it was cause of teaspoon, which lead to her being fired and now Carter not being picked up.
lol Nalyssa and DiJonai are on the same team now.
Not new news, they played together at Baylor.
Lol. Good luck Dallas if they ever break up😂😂😂
Craziness
No way the Storm pass on Miles.
Miles will go to Dallas. I hope Tehina goes to the Storm!
@@RustyLou18Don't you think Dallas will pick Paige?
Don’t know why people don’t like Dana. She’s got game and a great attitude. She’s a good back up PG. They will draft SoniaCitron to fill that Small Forward need and have a big team.
Do you think that a team might sign Chennedy Carter and Liz Cambage and see what happens? Maybe the Mystics are planning a mind-blowing season. 🤯
All that super team around cc just loss rings less this year again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wake up sis, Dewanna Bonner to Indiana 😮😂😂
What does it mean when a team receives rights of a player
Any news on Diamond DeShields for Sky? Also, this just occurred to me; once you have a person traded to you, doesn't that person still have to sign to keep her?
Sky messed up by not signing Chennedy Carter. She was by far the best player on the team
I can see Lindsey Allen going. Now, we are getting a good player who's accident prone. When are we going to get some super star team players?
Mr. President, Princess I miss you! 😢
Thanks Q!
i can't believe this is real life! allen/nurse backcourt?!??! sky should send in their ring sizes now.
BWAHAHAHAHA....that is epic-levle coping right there
@
allen: 7.4/3.9/1.1 🔥😍💯
nurse: 7.6/1.6/1.3 👀💪😵
no need to play the season. just hand them the wnba championship trophy! 🏆 🍾🎉
Any chance Taniya Latson declares.
Being a Mercury fan..Becca Allen is a slight upgrade over Lindsey Allen if she can stay healthy. Nurse played for the Mercury and if she has to play more than ten minutes Chicago is in trouble.
Bs
Quita, considering the Sparks picked up a new guard, don't you think that means Sky will for sure get Miles??
I think Seattle has the second pick now I can't keep up anymore though😂
@brandonleemoss awwww 😟
So they traded their 2nd pick for that guard??? (I know it was a good guard, I just can't remember who it was)
I respect Lindsay Allen she was a really good player 💖
Shaynne Sellers to the Sparks.🔥🏀
I could see it😊
Nurse been going down hill since N.Y. traded her .
I agree she didn’t really have a good season last year
She signed her contract
The sky are gonna needs some 3’s, 4’s and 5’s
And 1's and 2's!!!!
@ of course but their current roster is more guards
Where do you think Chennedy will end up? Or has she been traded alrealdy? I can't keep up😂
Me nether. 😂
GOON is always on some BS when it comes to Dana 😂🤣😂🤣😂
GOON loves him some Dana 😍
I dont think Chicago is going to be that exciting to watch next season and thats sad though coz they are looking like they are far from contenders Quita they reaching
Im surprised Marina Mabry isn't screaming to trade to somewhere else. Is she stuck at Sun till 2026?
I'm surprised as well. I have a feeling she'll start no showing practices but I do think she will have to tough it out for one year.
@@KarlMalowned32what in her history has suggested she'd ever no show on her team?
Sun can't even get a good draft pick next year because they were so good in 2024 and Sky own switch with their pick.
@KarlMalowned32
Yes, she's probably stuck now.
Sorry Sky not getting Olivia Seattle will take her unless they find a way to trade up in the draft
I look at it like this, Dana Evans is untradeable ... there were teams interested in Allen before Marina left but Allen was the only PG the Sky could rely on.
Chicago needs to coach up Angel to be more effective after she collects a rebound. Her shoot% is so bad in part because she has a tendency to rush an errant shot back up vs either kicking it out or collecting her self a taking a controlled shot. Her rebounding motor is Rodmanesque but she needs to be more composed w/ the ball make better decisions etc.
@@THE-MAD-TECHIE I’m guessing you aren’t watching Unrivaled
😂 @@primetimegamingandsports6075 people like to talk shit about Angel
True, it doesn't seem like she's managed to make the right changes so far to improve that this season
She needs to strengthen her back and just practice her touch in effective ways
It really shouldn't take someone with game already very long
So it's a mystery that she doesn't seem to be able to improve it
But the work she needs to practice is very obvious to see, so??? Are Chicago couching not telling her or what???
@@primetimegamingandsports6075 😂 People love to just talk shiit about Angel
😂 @@primetimegamingandsports6075 bunch of 🤡
Can we get a 2nd round pic for Dana Evans.
Following this team is stressful...nearly all my favs are gon...Kysre, TSpoon, La, and Chenn...At this point Angel and Kamilla hurry up and leave so I can block this teams page🙄
The team needed to improve. As is was a bad team.
I thought, pick swaps excluded the number 1 pick
The sky need to be talking to the storm and see if they can get that #2 pick.
Didn't know she was still in the wnba
Evans needs to go next!!
No one wants her. That was part of the issue last season. They tried to shop her but there weren’t any takers.
I don’t think teams value her enough to trade for her. Now if she gets waived it’s a different story
@@leiannb.wrytes8893then they need to throw her in as a bonus... We will take a water boy or water girl for Evans.. Just get rid of her!
I'm thinking trading Dana is addition by subtraction. I just started following Sky mid season, but reading between the lines she was a big part of the drama on the Sky. Chennedy: look who's minutes I was taking.
Do you think that the Sky could bundle Dana Evans with a Netflix membership and trade her to the Toronto Tempo for a future 1st round pick? (Yes, I know they don't have a team yet.)
@@Ice-c-o8q
Really?
Hoping they trade Dana but likely will have to send a package with with her because she ain’t got no trade value alone
Trade her to Connecticut for Tasha
Dana plus a 2nd round pick for a 3rd round pick.
@@johndeas9426 Connecticut has the sky 2nd round pick
@QuitaLovesSports Do you think Tyler Marsh will allow Angel to do some facilitating?
No
@QuitaLovesSports I think he should imo
Jeff is not safe. Becky Allen is 6ft 2 and cannot do anything. Lindsay was the best point guard on the sky. Vanderloot is trash and old. Jeff doesn’t know what he is doing. Becky Allen is trash Jeff is bringing in people who best games are behind them. I want Azzi fudd to be the 10 pick in the draft.
Chennedy is stupid for leaving Chicago.
She didn't leave Chicago. They didn't re-sign her.
Angel needs to learn how to get a rebound and pass it back out cause she can’t shoot from underneath the basket or make a decent layup
I really don't understand why he's couches haven't helped her figure it out
I think it's obvious what is needed...
She needs to strengthen that back because often she doesn't bend her back so her shoulders go backwards to make under bucket shots
Shooting and her touch
That's some basic training man! You can teach average people to do them fairly consistently within like 6 months, so no more missed layups without any pressure
It's possible the way she is built works against her somehow
But still, some of the basics can be done better and there's no excuse for the lack of improvement and n those areas that I'm still seeing from her
...And yet, she still averaged a double-double her rookie year.
Angel will be fine.
Shut up.
@ yes but it’s a team effort making a 3 point shot is better then loosing half the layups she try’s to do.
Angel Reese a few months ago: "I speak to people that got drafted before me (picks 1-6) and they tell me they wanna play with me"
NO ONE wants to play with Angel Reese. Period. Full stop.
How did this turn into an Angel Reese discussion?
@@CocheseShaChicago... Sky.....
@@CocheseSha he goes on a lot of these sites and trolls with stupid , ignorant remarks for a reaction
@ - Dude has too much time on his hands
@@CocheseSha Guess we live in a world now where people like this get their kicks from being stupid , sad part is it gives real fans a bad name
Poor Paige is turning over on her bed having to worry about being on a team with Dijonai and Nalyssa. Oh my God.
