  1. Stewie signed with the NY Liberty. Just came through on my phone. Ahhh!!! As a Philly gal I can’t do it (root for a NY team). Ugh. I will still cheer for her but it won’t be the same. 🫠🫠

  3. Thanks Heather, wnba updates!!!

    Where do people think sloot will end up? It feels like unless it’s NY, there’s not a lot of hope to be on a contending team. This Seattle fam can always wish, though!!

    • I’m too new to the W to have any kind of prediction, but it’d be really nice if she and Quigley both landed in Seattle, although that’s assuming Quigley wants to play one more season…
