Messy as the route to get there was, Flau'jae is so much better off in Seattle than she would've been in Golden State with their 17 other wings. Young, building team where she's immediately an important part of the present and future. #WNBA

I wrote about Ezi Magbegor's injury and what that means for her and the Seattle Storm. The Storm will have to adjust without their best defensive player for at least the first month of games. This was sent to paid this morning and will be available to all #WNBA fans later on.

The Seattle Storm enter a new era starting this Sunday as training camp begins for the 2026 #WNBA season. I wrote about the six most important questions I have about the team before the season gets underway. stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/6-question...

Didn’t get to post this here. I asked Angel Reese about staying grounding between so much change in Chicago until landing here in Atlanta. Reese got visibly emotional when answering. Here’s video of that moment which I think is worth watching.

Dorchester’s Taina Mair represents the very best of Boston. Congratulations Taina on being a first round WNBA pick by the Seattle Storm! ⛈️💚

🚨NEW POD ALERT🚨 @stevejones20.bsky.social & I are BYKE w another ep of The Dunker Spot! First, we preview DEN-MIN & LAL-HOU out West, CLE-TOR & NYK-ATL out East! On the W side, we react to the draft & the first wave of free agency! NBA: youtu.be/N04mQbIiQ2g?... WNBA: youtu.be/4qkQOLcOfPs?...

Dreaming about Olivia Miles + Phee, the Sparks' steals, Seattle's twin towers experiment (and Flau'jae!), arguing about Gabby Jaquez vs. KiKi Rice and making sense of the Mystics in a WNBA Draft Recap with @lucaskaplan.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1gsx...

This was my thinking the day before the draft. I'm shocked and oh so happy that it's happening. It is fun to think about, isn't it? #WNBA #seattlestorm #WNBAdraft

It's not my preferred scenario, but imagine having Jordy, Ezi, Fam and Dom flying around the floor running from rim to rim. Imagine Dom and Fam as jumbo ball handlers. Jordy could go back to her high school point guard roots. It would be a little nuts, but fun to think about.

Confirmed with the WNBA that the deadline to trade draft picks was Sunday at 5pm eastern. That means for the Valkyries and Storm to make their trade, they would have needed an agreement to trade whoever was selected. Seattle then told GSV to take Johnson, who they were surprised was available.

A draft night SHOCKER: The Seattle Storm have acquired the draft rights to Flau'jae Johnson from the Golden State Valkyries. In exchange, Golden State acquires the draft rights to Marta Suárez and a 2028 second-round pick

Wow! It will be nuts, but fabulous. @wnbastormchasers.bsky.social

The #WNBA Draft is today at 4:00 PM. The Seattle Storm have picks 3, 14, 16, and 39. I wrote about the players the Storm should zero in on during those first three selections. Read about them at the link below! stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/making-the...

Friends, I am thrilled to introduce you to Valkyries Beat. This is where I will be writing about the Golden State Valkyries this season, running a full beat and -- with your help as subscribers -- back on the road. www.valkyriesbeat.com

When was the last time we hit the day of the WNBA draft and still really weren't sure who was going #1? Maybe it was still a little up in the air in 2019? I love this level of uncertainty that we almost never have. Credit to Curt Miller and co for not letting anything out (assuming they know). #WNBA

Source confirms to me and @herhoopstats.com that cored unrestricted free agent Ezi Magbegor re-signed with the Seattle Storm for three-years, protected, $1,250,000/1,250,000/1,250,000. Flat rather than with raises, but by a fraction the biggest WNBA contract total officially signed so far. #WNBA

Beautiful. I'm so happy for Ezi and for all of us Storm fans. She is such a fantastic player and such a sweet, kind person.

And we have @itsmeghanlhall.bsky.social, @sheknowssports.bsky.social, @maggiehendricks.bsky.social, and so many others who have put in the work and I'd hate to see their efforts get usurped by opportunistic men's leaguers.

I'll say this for @anniecostabile.bsky.social, @alexaphilippou.bsky.social, and @classicjpow.bsky.social. They were in the trenches during the CBA stuff. They camped out. They kept watch. They updated when they could and I'll always appreciate that.

Speaking of journalist/reporter/news people to follow, Marisa won my Jane Arden Award last year for her coverage of the expansion season Valkyries. Give her a Follow if you ain't already. #WNBA

On the one hand, Trump lost his war in Iran. On the other hand, he has propagandists who say the contrary.

Evie is contemplating life. Happy #caturday. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats

The WNBA stays front page news

Watching live now the Welcome Home press conference for the Artemis II astronauts. Wonderful celebration of extreme competence (and proud of it) and connectedness (the word love has been used). This is truly who we all are. www.youtube.com/live/DYY4nnf...

Straight up, if you weren’t a Sky fan when we were in second to last place, don’t come hopping on the bandwagon when we are third from last place 😌 #WNBA

Always fun when we get to the first deal of free agency that makes me go "the fuck?" out loud. #WNBA

Skylar crashing out on Jeff is gonna become the stuff of legend. It'll be like that time Natisha had to hold Coach Reeve back from committing manslaughter on a referee. #WNBA

If you've been reading my coverage of the Seattle Storm then you are not surprised with how Free Agency is going for Seattle. 8 months ago, I wrote this. #WNBA

Nooo 😫

BREAKING: Melania Trump signs with the Chicago Sky. #WNBA

The Seattle Storm placed the Core tag on Ezi Magbegor. I wrote about what that means and what could happen next. Available to all #WNBA fans. stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/storm-plac...

I wrote about the Seattle Storm and how they can approach Free Agency with the updated salary cap. The team has options, but they'll need to be smart about their money. The article is open to all #WNBA fans. stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/storm-will...

Hell of a time to realise you have 'serious strategic differences'. Pay her the entire offseason while all the planning should be underway, fire her the literal day that anything has to start being actively done. Wild. Makes you wonder if there's one specific deal/choice that caused conflict. #WNBA

I think, all things considered, it was a good weekend for Dawn Staley’s legacy: www.cbssports.com/womens-colle...

It’s been such a treat to have @jerrybrewer.bsky.social in our tournament coverage, and this is his best piece yet. www.nytimes.com/athletic/717...

And yes, it was bad to not name Dawn specifically. She’s owed that.

Proud that i've loved her since that olympics team in Atlanta 🥹

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

If it weren't so obvious that he was reading the speech from a teleprompter, I would never have believed that this was actually a prepared speech. Trump sounded like a drunken hobo under a bridge.

Magnificent No Kings protest sign in Ellsworth, Maine. 10/10.

🇫🇷 Sen. Claude Malhuret: "I compared the Trump presidency to Nero's court. I was wrong. It's a court of miracles. An anti-vax ex heroin addict as Health Sec; a climate skeptic as Econ Sec; an alcoholic TV host as Def Sec; an ex Qatari agent as Attorney Gen; a Putin groupie as Homeland Security Sec."

Brendan Donovan! The first Opening Day leadoff home run in Mariners history

lol

This is really useful for seeing beyond AI slop

How it started. How it's going.
