WNBA Contenders: Are We Destined for an Aces-Liberty Final?

As we get closer to the start of the WNBA season, our big questions continue. This time, Zena, Layshia, and Sabreena take a look at the league’s top contenders. The crew discusses whether the Aces will get off to a strong start and what the early dynamics of the Liberty might look like with Satou Sabally in the mix. We also explore what factors could push the Dream and Wings into true contender conversations. Then we shift to the Fever and examine what their identity could look like with Caitlin Clark back in the lineup. Lastly, we dive into the mailbag, breaking down what it means when teams exercise a player’s option.REFERENCES: Fever vs. Wings takeaways: Caitlin Clark’s early exit, Azzi Fudd’s pro debut by James BoydAngel Reese fits right in with Dream, beats Sky in first game since trade: Takeaways by Annie CostabileWNBA preseason power rankings: Can anyone dethrone the Las Vegas Aces? by Sabreena MerchantChicago Sky sign Natasha Cloud, waive Hailey Van Lith by Annie Costabile Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu to miss at least two weeks with injury by Annie Costabile__No Offseason is a part of The Athletic Podcast NetworkEmail us: [email protected] up for the No Offseason newsletter!YT: @No-Offseason IG: @tanooffseasonTikTok: @no_offseason Hosted on Acast.
