Trysta Krick and Sarah Chovnick break down the biggest names who could be on the move, including Kelsey Plum, Napheesa Collier, Nneka Ogwumike, Kahleah Copper and Shakira Austin.

WNBA All-Star Weekend gave us hot mics, relationship drama, Barack Obama, commissioner controversy and an up-close look at what was really happening in Chicago.

Trysta and Sarah are back from All-Star Weekend with firsthand stories about the strange energy surrounding the event, why this year felt far more manufactured than Indianapolis, and whether the WNBA successfully recaptured the magic of last season.

They also examine the mounting criticism of Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, the disconnect between league leadership and its players, and the WNBA’s response to the racist, misogynistic and homophobic abuse players continue to face.

Plus, Barack Obama’s advice to Caitlin Clark sparks a larger conversation, Jonquel Jones gets caught in an uncomfortable hot-mic controversy, online relationship drama takes over the weekend, and Lisa Leslie delivers one of its most confusing panel moments.

It’s no longer too early to worry about the New York Liberty. After another blown lead and an ugly loss to the Indiana Fever, New York’s early-season urgency problem has become a full-blown identity crisis. Trysta and Sarah break down the stagnant offense, questionable rotations, Chris DeMarco’s coaching and why injuries alone can’t explain what’s happening.

Could the Liberty actually consider trading Sabrina Ionescu? Did the organization make a mistake replacing Sandy Brondello? And are they wasting another elite season from Breanna Stewart?

Plus, Kelsey Mitchell is playing like a legitimate MVP candidate, Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history and the debate over who deserves to be called the face of the league heats up. The show also reacts to Sandy Brondello’s controversial comments about Angel Reese and the response that followed.

The WNBA had another chaotic week.

We're breaking down why the Las Vegas Aces decided to waive Chennedy Carter, what it says about her future in the league, and whether another team should take a chance on her.

Then we dive into one of the biggest conversations surrounding the WNBA right now: how Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and right-wing media have become part of a much larger political conversation. We discuss Fox News, MAGA culture, player criticism, league leadership, media responsibility, and why so many people feel like it's becoming impossible to talk about basketball without politics entering the conversation.

We also cover:

The Chicago Sky's ongoing organizational issues
Skylar Diggins' frustrations with the Sky
Front office accountability in the WNBA
Caitlin Clark discourse and media coverage
Does Cathy Need TO GO?

We're recording from the road again, but there's no way we skip this week — a second-ever WNBA quadruple overtime, a wild Caitlin Clark hot take from Emmanuel Acho, and a player departure that has us scratching our heads.
The Mystics and Fire battled through quadruple overtime in a game that should not have happened — and we're not talking about the basketball, we're talking about why Washington didn't get the tank memo. Sonia Citron and Carla Leite both put up career-high 32-point performances, and we're breaking down why some WNBA teams need to fully embrace losing right now.
Then we get into Emmanuel Acho's take that the WNBA would be better off without Caitlin Clark — and why we think that's one of the worst hot takes of the year, even as we try to be fair about where his point was trying to go.
Plus, Azzi Fudd is leaving Unrivaled for Project B, and we cannot make sense of it. We also cover Marina Mabrey's 53-point explosion (and the jinx that caused it), a controversial WNBA 30-year anniversary poster snub, and the discourse heating up around Project B and Saudi-backed investment in women's sports.

This week completely changed how we're looking at three WNBA teams.

The Minnesota Lynx continue to prove they're a legitimate championship contender, and Olivia Miles keeps stacking performances that make an early MVP conversation feel more realistic every game.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever remain one of the hardest teams in the league to figure out. Some nights they look like contenders, other nights they're hanging on against teams they should beat. We break down what's behind the inconsistency, Caitlin Clark's viral postgame press conference, and the state of WNBA media.

Then we dive into the Phoenix Mercury, whose roster suddenly feels older, thinner, and much farther away from contention than anyone expected.

Plus, we discuss Kelsey Plum's 43-point explosion, why Portland's culture has us buying in, Lauren Betts' continued growth, and why this weekend may have shifted our outlook on the league more than any other this season.

Olivia Miles' MVP-caliber start
Minnesota's championship ceiling
