Here's Miles' performance. Loud rims and backboards in Minny.

That’s completely shortsighted and missing the point and a terrible rationale for keeping players in order to win a title.

AB and KM and CC playing together into the future would kill the Fever chances of ever winning a title. For a few reasons.

AB simply isn’t the type of player the Fever desperately needs on the interior as a C or interior post player. And the Fever can never get that type of player with 3 supermax contracts. They will have to make the difficult (don’t think it’s that difficult) to move on from AB. Problem s I actually think her trade value will continue to slip a bit as time goes on.

Shortsighted is trading away Boston because you think she's having a down year. Even though she's averaging a career high in points as the third option while playing the fewest amount of minutes per game of her career due to a nagging injury.

Kelsey is a 5'8 guard about to be 31, who has taken back to back one year deals and is an unrestricted free agent. So I'm not sure she should be viewed as a guaranteed long term building block of the future.

That’s not relevant. Again, it’s short-sighted. AB has been 10th or 11th in rebounding and shot blocks all year. For the 2nd best center in the league. Allegedly. It’s unacceptable and untenable for a team that desperately needs those two elements to elevate and succeed. She offers little defensive presence against athletic interior players. And she’s drifting on the perimeter more and more.

Regardless, the Fever can’t have 3 Supermax players and hope to build a title roster. Especially when one of the players offers very little of what the team needs to be a title contender.

"Haute Couture" and basketball shoes. The pinnacle of dress.

Another Miles"stone" left unmet.

I don't know where you're getting 2nd best Center in the league. I don't think anyone has claimed that.

She's tied for 8th in blocks, and 10th in rebounding. Aliyah was second team all defense last year and will likely be in the running for it again this year. She provides an interior defensive presence she's just not able to make up for the fact that the Fever have at least two or three below average to bad defenders on the court at all times.

I’m showing 10th blocks but regardless she doesn’t protect the rim and has little lift. I’ve she’s not the 2nd best center as you allude then even more reason to trade her.Shes gonna be paid like the best C

Tied for 8th in blocks on ESPN. Regardless 5-10 are separated by .3 blocks per game which is only a handful of blocks on the year.

She got paid like the best Center because she was up for a renewal first. In reality she's probably 4th or 5th. You're not going to trade her for anyone better.
