Someone needs to explain that trade to me. Granted that my mind isn't as sharp in my old age but still...............Well, it just got harder to like Washington.
Jacy Sheldon is headed there.

Former OSU guard Jacy Sheldon traded from WNBA's Connecticut Sun to Washington Mystics
Former Ohio State guard Jacy Sheldon has a new WNBA home after the Dublin Coffman graduate was traded from the Connecticut Sun to Washington Mystics.www.dispatch.com
Yeah, I really don't understand this trade at all from Washington's point of view. I'm really surprised that they gave up on Aaliyah Edwards that quickly, and for another guard when they already have Sonia Citron and also have Georgia Amoore waiting in the wings.Someone needs to explain that trade to me.

I know they lost Sykes, which is definitely a big loss for them, but Jacy certainly doesn't fill that void. And unlike most of you on here, I have nothing against Jacy in saying that - that's just my honest opinion.
Yes, Washington also gained the right to swap 2026 first-round picks with Connecticut, but those respective picks came from New York and Minnesota, so that'll likely be a wash.
I don't get it. Looks to me like Connecticut just pulled off one heck of a heist.
True, but the pick swap is likely pointless considering that NY and Minnesota are, barring some catastrophic injury situation, likely headed to a Finals rematch. (Connecticut and Washington each have one of those picks - not sure who has which one.)Good draft picks can come from anywhere, so I get that.
Angel Reese, who is going to go down as one of the greatest defensive players in the history of women's basketball, wasn't a top-five draft pick.
True, but the pick swap is likely pointless considering that NY and Minnesota are, barring some catastrophic playoff injury situation, likely headed to a Finals rematch.
Sure, but my point is, unless I'm completely missing something, neither of those picks are likely to be high first round picks and should likely be around the same number.Looks that way but anything is possible. Indiana could beat Minnesota and, when Caitlin is healthy, they have curbstomped New York.
The wild card is Minnseota picking up DiJonai Carrington, who is a great player even if she is the dirtiest player in sports.

I believe the draft is based on a team's performance over the past two seasons. Minnesota and NY made the Finals last year and are likely headed there again.
The trade makes no sense to me from Washington's point of view.
No, it's not an additional pick. Washington and Connecticut each have, and still have, one of those two aforementioned picks from Minnesota and NY. Washington simply earned the right to swap their pick in question with Connecticut's.It's still an additional pick, plus we know the offseason is going to be pure chaos when the new CBA is done. It looks to me like Washington, Dallas and a couple other teams are getting ahead of that.
Correct, if Washington was getting an additional pick then I "may" understand the trade, but there is no additional pick for the Mystics.No, it's not an additional pick.

Right. Unless there's some kind of hidden voodoo witchcraft involved that I'm unaware of, and Connecticut's pick from NY originally came from Dallas or Chicago or something and is likely to be an early first-round pick, the trade is pretty much just Aaliyah Edwards for Jacy Sheldon.Correct, if Washington was getting an additional pick then I "may" understand the trade, but there is no additional pick for the Mystics.
I take it you don't have League Pass? If not, you should, so you can watch those games on your time, not the W's. You can hide the scores in the WNBA app to avoid spoilers if that's a concern. You could just do that and stay off the forum until you watch the game.Geez, another 10:00 pm game tonight. This old man has a hard time with the late games, but I sure hate to miss a game with the Fever playing.
Oof. Do they even have any point guards left? If not, they'll have to see if they can grab somebody on a hardship contract.How's your mood, fellow Fever fans?
If it's good, it's about to be bad.
Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are done for the season.

Indiana Fever Provide Updates on Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald
INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 8, 2025) — The Indiana Fever announced today that guards Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald will both miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season after suffering injuries during the team’s game at the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday night. Colson sustained an anterior cruciate...fever.wnba.com
Oof. Do they even have any point guards left? If not, they'll have to see if they can grab somebody on a hardship contract.
Tanking is unnecessary IMO, but somebody obviously has to play PG while Caitlin is out and all the other PGs are hurt (what a wild situation for a team to be in). That's not a small task. If they don't pick anyone up on a hardship contract or something, I'd imagine that Kelsey will be running the point until CC comes back.Fortunately, their next game is against Chicago so there's no urgency.
Chloe Bibby is probably about to spend A LOT of time on the court.
Really, the front office has some tough decisions here. Do they make trades or make moves to try to salvage the season or salvage what they can before Caitlin can come back, or do they just tank like Dallas is doing?
Truthfully, as someone who has said Caitlin needs to be deactivated for the remainder of the season, I'd go with tanking.
Aari McDonald is a HUGE loss.
No. Mitchell and Cunningham can share primary ballhandler duties in the interim, but that obviously isn’t the role that suits them best. But any route you choose at this point is some form of compromise.Oof. Do they even have any point guards left? If not, they'll have to see if they can grab somebody on a hardship contract.

Sorry I haven’t checked in for a bit. I’ve mostly been lurking in this thread recently, haven’t gotten a chance to tune in to many games in a while.Where is FL Racing. Haven't seen him on here for a while.

Even when they come on so late that it's hard to stay up for them?Yes, I do have League Pass, but I like to watch the games live.
Yeah, obviously none of Indiana's healthy guards right now are PGs like CC and Aari. That's not their responsibility...or at least, it wasn't until now.They'll have to sign someone on a hardship contract. I mean, I don't see a choice here.
Kelsey, Lexie and Sophie don't move the ball the way Caitlin and Aari do. Though I imagine Lexie will be in the starting five against Chicago.
Everyone's going to have to step up moreso than they have. Aari McDonald is a huge loss.
She has my vote for MVP.Sophie truly is a fireball.
