@The Q would you be receptive to a team needing a WR offering say a 5th rounder for Hopkins?

The Titans signed Ridley and Boyd in FA. And you were mentioning Burks is kind of the oddd mam left out when they added Boyd. Burks would get more PT if Hopkins gets dealt and you get a little younger.

Plus, you add a pick in the '25 draft.

Saw a hypothetical article where another team could trade for him.

Too early for that now. Maybe at the trade deadline but if he’s decent they’ll get that as a comp pick

I got to push back on that tweet.

Because I think most thought she would come right in and be one of the top players.

So I think by default that means she isn’t as good as people thought.

The first 3 games were vs 3 pretty good teams.

And she a rookie. There will be an adjustment period.

2 teams.

The Liberty twice and the Sun.

Of course there will.

But expectations for her were unreasonably high coming in.

Hell, people BSing about her getting drafted in the NBA.

100% for sure most people expected her to get off to a better start than she has.

people is just hoping she fails is all it comes down to

Are we really shocked she isn't avg 30 like she did in college?

22/6/8 on about 50% shooting with 4 made threes today

Everyone in the nba wants wemby to succeed while everyone in the wnba wants Caitlin to fail

Good comparison. Wemby wasn't an allstar his first few games either.

nope but the nba world wanted to see him do well while the wnba world wants to see CC be a bust....hopefully for their sake, she is a bust and they are back flying spirit and frontier in the near future

Wemby failing would be amazing karma

I’m not.

She is being talked about like an all time great before she played her first game. That is a ton of pressure.

And your Wemby point is a good one. He is expected to do great things, but nobody rooting for him to fail. WNBA players have dates with the Fever circled so they can shut Clarke down.

That is something she going to have to overcome.

I'm starting to buy in to your Spurs logic. I read an article yesterday about the Rodman/Elliot trade where the Spurs hid some kind of issue Elliot had (which is why they dealt him) and then re signed him after Detroit let him go.
