Natasha Cloud remains one of the biggest names still unsigned in WNBA free agency—and it’s not about talent. It’s about price.
In this episode, we break down why the veteran point guard hasn’t landed a deal yet, despite her championship pedigree, elite defense, and leadership. From salary cap limitations to shifting market dynamics under the new CBA, we explain what’s really holding things up—and why Cloud may be standing firm on her value.
We also cover:
- Cloud’s mindset and viral statement during free agency
- The New York Liberty’s roster decisions (including major contracts and additions)
- Why teams can afford her—but haven’t pulled the trigger
- Her dominant 47-point performance in Unrivaled and what it says about her current form
Plus, we shift to Caitlin Clark’s preseason return 👀
- What stood out in her first action back
- How the Indiana Fever are adjusting to her presence
- Why her slow shooting night isn’t a concern
And in Segment 3, we address the growing conversation around Paige Bueckers & Azzi Fudd—and why the media might be crossing a line. Where should the focus really be?
