Top of the Key: LOLCathy

Grace and Thomas are back to cover an unexpectedly eventful week of WNBA news. First they get into some Aces roster moves, in a segment that was supposed to be about more than just the Aces but when discussing the recent Jackie Young contract extension ended up evolving into salary cap and CBA discussions (as it is often wont to do with that subject). Next, some of the other preseason moves and news gets its spotlight. The Chicago Sky have two major injuries to draft picks. The Wings and Dream made a trade as well as the Mystics and the Sun, both of which make sense for the respective teams. And Marine Johannes is no longer under contract with a French basketball team, which makes her path forward in the WNBA in coming years a little clearer. Finally, there was some pretty seismic news from beyond the roster limits of the twelve WNBA teams. The new Golden State team announced their GM, Ohemaa Nyanin, who was last in the New York LIberty front office as an assistant GM. And then the surprise of the week was Cathy Engelbert announcing within a week of the season's start that they would be phasing in charter airfare for the entire league with no limits. It happened in pretty typical Cathy fashion so obviously there was a LOT to discuss. You can follow the podcast on Twitter/X @totkpod and email us at [email protected].
