Re: WNBA/ G League Thread

Jeebs and OJ ya’ll checking out these games tonight?

I’m watching the Fever-Sun game right now. That Sun defense picking up where they left off last year.

The wife and kids have been sick the last 2 weeks. I barely make it to the second game. I'm trying to catch up today [emoji23]. Just got my tickets for a few games this year.

Down BG, Mercury were scrappier and hung with Vegas for longer than I thought. Natasha Cloud is a dawg; like her as an addition to Phoenix.

Liked the little back and forth between Diana and Plum in the first half.


Just moved to Dallas; looking forward to taking my daughter to a game. They have Jacy coming off the bench; interested to see if and when she becomes a starter.

Re: WNBA/ G League Thread

Toronto officially announced as the 14th WNBA franchise.

Surprising that despite not being associated with them, Raptors President Masai Ujiri is in attendance as is Kyle Lowry (he's a FA I guess, but still weird since he's still an active player showing up for it, unless he's planning to retire and sign a 1 day deal with the Raptors?)

Raptors ownership group not associated with it but there have been some in that group who were against the WNBA team and against Masai staying with the Raptors. I know the money won't be there, but if the WNBA franchise offers Masai some job higher than being a president of the team while having ownership stake, maybe he jumps at it? One of the Raptors top execs already left to be one of the heads of the team.

Re: WNBA/ G League Thread

The group that owns the Raptors are the ones who paid for the team....

https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/40202150/toronto-awarded-wnba-1st-team-us-play-26

Larry Tanenbaum-led Kilmer Sports Ventures is paying $115 million for the team. Tanenbaum also is the chairman and a minority owner of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, the Toronto sports giant that owns the NHL's Maple Leafs and NBA's Raptors along with Toronto's MLS and Canadian Football League franchises.

Not exactly.

Tannenbaum is a part owner for MLSE, but he's breaking off into his own company separate from the main owners in MLSE (Bell/Rogers) so he doesn't have as much power anymore and I think he's sold (or will be selling) a good chunk of his MLSE stock too.

MLSE (Rogers and/or Bell) didn't want a WNBA team, which is why no announcement happened last year when GS got their one.

I am utterly disgusted with the Caitlin Clark nonsense flooding all my social timelines. You’d think someone pulled out a baseball bat and smacked her in the back of the head with it on the court the way some people are talking about what happened.

Full circle moment King has arrived [emoji23]. I'm full circle moment because it's the attention grabbing highlights. What's that saying no press is bad press? [emoji23]
