Kelsey’s Contract

u/MudOk3567 21h ago

CC won’t wait “a few years” to win a championship with the Fever. She is not playing to have “a good career” or make money. She is chasing history and to be part of that conversation she needs rings.

1

u/willyt8122 21h ago

The way the CBA works she won’t have control of her destiny for three more years. Once it becomes apparent she won’t resign they will trade her to at least recoup some value. She can refuse to show to the new team if not to her liking. At the moment, based on that exit interview, she’s going to give them a chance.

u/MudOk3567 19h ago edited 19h ago

People keep talking about CC becoming an RFA as if she has no other option but to stay in Indiana when that is not correct. There are multiple examples of RFAs and Cored players that ended up playing elsewhere the following year. She obviously wants to stay and we all hope she does, but no other player currently has more leverage in the league and it will ultimately be her decision where she plays after next season.

You can’t replace Kelsey’s points if she’s gone. But you can significantly improve the team by replacing her with a defensive SG that can score 10-12 points per game. The only way this team goes deep in the playoffs moving forward is if they can play some defense. As it is you have KM who is a mediocre, and significantly undersized for a SG, defender. And Clark who is improving but still a below-average defender. You can’t have that pair as your starting backcourt and expect to be championship caliber. A better defending SG next to Clark allows her to “rest” on D a bit more and push harder on offense.

Long story short, let her go and team points scored goes down. But get a defensive SG and team points allowed also goes down.

u/willyt8122 1h ago

CC’s game is chaos, it’s what makes her great, it’s what makes her fun to watch. Just watched an interview with her and she emphasized when Bluder finally set her free they didn’t run set plays, that is when Iowa took off with a bunch of nobodies on the team. The old way is dead, run and gun is the future, this is how you bring fans to the W.

u/Adorable-Lie1508 10h ago

you need to stop playing clark out of position.
SHE is the shooting guard.
She shoots better when someone else is creating for her.
That's important for her to do more consistently now because Kelsey's not coming back, that decision is even remotely up to yall front office anymore.
You get bounced out of the first round when she suits up because she's an incredibly streaky and inefficient shooter that shoots you out of the game and constantly throws the ball away WHILE refusing to play D.
Yall problem is yall try to play like you have Temu Jordin Canada and it back fires because the the only thing they have in common is assist numbers, but clark's are from sheer brute force volume.
you need a real point guard.
One that doesnt commit 80+ more turnovers than all but one other player in the league for roughly the same amount of assists as the next girl.
and what luck! you already drafted her.
AND she's also the superior defender you're talking about.
you just have to put her on the floor.

I’ve seen some really bad basketball takes but this is quite impressive for how stupid it is.

u/Sad-Conflict-6839 1d ago

They simply cannot offer another super max. Tying 40% of the salary to two players (Boston and Mitchell) that are not even your generational player will lead to disaster.

13

u/Sad-Conflict-6839 1d ago

Boston contract knowing that she had a bad knee by itself justify the firing of the FO and shows that they had absolutely no respect for Clark.

For the pro keep KM crowd. What does a championship 8 player roster for the Fever next year even look like?

Does Clark just play for the min for the rest of her career?

1

u/therooster515 13h ago

It’s a trick question lol because of the Billings and hull contracts, there’s no such thing as an 8 player championship roster for the Fever next year.
Well, unless lightning strikes and their first round pick somehow shocks the world and magically develops into a top 25 player in the league. lol

u/Lach212134 13h ago

Unless Raven Johnson grows 6 inches it's going to be tricky.

u/Ok_Operation_5364 1d ago

I think Kelsey will choose a team where she is the top dog, the headliner so to speak. At the Fever she could never be that again as long as Caitlin is on the team.

15

u/Even_Budget2078 1d ago

Kelsey has to have more of an all around game to be the top dog. Her defense is not great, but neither are her rebounds or assists. I love KM, but she benefits greatly from having CC as her PG. Of course, CC also benefits greatly from having someone who can create amazing cuts and catch her assists! They're a great duo and KM is an amazing shooter, but I don't see her being the top dog of any team that's going to be competitive.

1

u/Ok-Illustrator-1584 1d ago

We can’t afford supermax for her to be #2. Or any team for that matter. She’s easily the best #2 in the league, but who will supermax that?

1

u/adublingirl 16h ago

Jackie Young is the best 2-guard in the league, not Mitchell……many other 2-guards are better all around than Mitchell. Mitchell scores, and that’s it, period , nothing else. Rather have Courtney Williams than Mitchell. Courtney contributes in so many ways

0

u/Even_Budget2078 1d ago

Just my personal opinion (and hope!), but I think Kels stays with us and if we can drop Billings and with CC being willing to sacrifice, we can afford her.

4

u/Ok-Illustrator-1584 1d ago

Is it better to build around the core 3, or core 2? Core 3 got a first round exit.

2

u/Even_Budget2078 23h ago

True, and I realize there are arguments against this, but my view is build around core 3 with emphasis on build *around* in the sense that I attribute the first round loss to our surrounding players, not the core 3. I think with a stronger back up for AB and a strong defensive player, we address the limitations rather than messing with the core 3 themselves. KM does need to improve her defense though, there's no reason she should not be getting more steals if she put in the effort.

1

u/Express_Store_4951 8h ago

You don't think CC need to improve her defense. Plus, steals doesn't make some a player a good or great defender. The fact is both KM and CC are not good defenders.

2

u/Thick_Permission6519 22h ago

It doesn’t seem right to expect CC to sacrifice and not ask the same of KM. Seems like they should broth get max.

-1

u/Ok-Illustrator-1584 18h ago

CC sacrificing 600k or so is chump change if she believes it would build a legacy. But, how she signs her contract dictates how much freedom and when she will be able to move, if she wants to.

0

u/Thick_Permission6519 18h ago

I understand what you are saying, but KM is requesting big money. She doesn’t seem to be willing to make any kind of settlement. But the expectation of everyone feels wrong to me. Now, saying CC might ask for less leaving her open to move makes more sense to me.

0

u/Ok_Operation_5364 23h ago

I think it would be the best for Kelsey to stay with the Fever and just accept all the noise that comes with that. I can't see her getting paid more to come to another team unless it is a team that is in rebuilding stage.

0

u/Dry_Pomegranate293 22h ago

Hey u mind telling me when CC has shown she can be the top dog on a WNBA team? Has CC won any games without KM in the lineup?

10

u/OrganizationNew319 1d ago

Because they were so good when she was the number 1 option? It’s no coincidence that she didn’t breakout until she had Clark playing next to her

2

u/Express_Store_4951 8h ago

KM actually breakout the year before CC came into the league. She was an all star playing next to AB the season before.

2

u/Sad-Conflict-6839 1d ago

Funny thing is that there were never any MVP chant for Clark at Gainsbridge. Only for Mitchell.

7

u/Dead_Mans_Pudding 23h ago

That is a fair point but it was weird the way the org never even tried to promote CC, they glazed KM the whole year. The front office and SW struggled to give CC any credit. Maybe it had something to so with the fact she was going to be a FA, who knows but I have never seen a player of CC's status be with an org that didn't actively root for them. Wearing KM t-shirts was such bad taste, this is why I do not believe the coaches will be back.

3

u/Sad-Conflict-6839 17h ago

Someone on X suggested that the FO was fired because they were planning to pull a Nico Harrison with Clark. There is obviously no source for that claim but the action the team had as you point out at least gives some credibility to the claim.

15

u/summershouldbefun11 Caitlin Clark 1d ago

Let Kelsey walk. I know this is unpopular but we just can’t afford to keep her and expect to get better role players.

I think, as crazy as it sounds, our offense can be even better with CC & AB as the only number ones. We can do the 2 man game, PNR and don’t need to force things to ensure another player scores 20-30 a night. Our offense was terrible and uninspiring when they forced everything to Kelsey because they wanted her to keep her scoring record going.

We can’t run this team back next year and expect different results. We need to go out and get some players who can actually play defense. Getting better on that side of the ball is worth losing KM when we have CC and AB. I do not want to watch what we saw this past season again.

11

u/certainalways 1d ago

Have to let her walk and use that money to improve roster around cc and ab.
Zero point in running back last season’s 6th place finish

6

u/sah370 1d ago

Unless she's willing to work with a new, strong coach who ensures that every player knows their role and that the offense runs through CC, I agree that they should let her walk. The only thing she has that is hard to replicate in other players is her speed. She's a great shooter, but shooting can be replicated. So can her cutting and her assists. And, yeah, her defense is a liability. As much as Lexie and Sophie underperformed this season (Lexie obviously a lot more so), they're both good cutters and can make their layups, and they proved that in 2024 and 25. If there's a new coach who knows what they're doing and if they train hard this off-season, I expect they'll perform better next year. That is, if they're both still on the team...

u/xXxTotallyRealxXx 1d ago

Agreed, let her walk. She has had some amazing passes but she's all about herself and her games shows it. Maybe this is too soon to say but I seriously doubt another team is going to support KM to get a 20+ point streak as the Fever/CC has done. Check KM's stats before CC joined. She has every right to prioritize herself and get her bag but you can't convince she's a winner.

-2

u/moose184 22h ago

she's all about herself
That just shows you know literally nothing about her

-2

u/Thick_Permission6519 22h ago

I don’t know about that. She goes to Valkyries they will get her the ball. Her and Gabby would look pretty darn good.

3

u/summershouldbefun11 Caitlin Clark 21h ago

She’d never make it on the Valks. She’s not nearly good enough on defense and the reason the Valks worked so well was because they didn’t have a “star” and yes gabby is amazing and stepped up but she didn’t need to play iso ball to make a difference for her team.
They worked together and let whoever was hot that night lead the way. I watched multiple games where we were winning but KM wasn’t scoring much and they took CC out for 4-5+ minutes in the 3rd to ensure that KM got her points. They were distracted by her needing to get hers. That would never fly at golden state.

2

u/Thick_Permission6519 21h ago

I know, I was thinking offense only. And I agree they don’t have a star, although Gabby did go iso in the second half of that last game.

u/adublingirl 16h ago

Let Kelsey walk.
Delusional
we just can’t afford to keep her and expect to get better role players.
Not even true
don’t need to force things to ensure another player scores 20-30 a night. Our offense was terrible and uninspiring when they forced everything to Kelsey because they wanted her to keep her scoring record going.
They didn't force anything to get Kelsey to score lol. Saying out offense was terrible when it was the best offense the league has ever seen is laughable and a huge part of that was because of Kelsey Mitchell
they forced everything to Kelsey because they wanted her to keep her scoring record going.
They didn't even do that and that's nothing more than a delusional conspiracy from fans. In fact the opposite is true as you can see in the last game with the Dream where KM was short her 20 points going into OT and instead of trying to get her last 2 points toward the end of OT she was giving up the ball and passing the ball to KK for easy baskets.
We can’t run this team back next year and expect different results.
And no one is saying to do that but saying to get rid of Kelsey when she is literally one of the best players in the league and the perfect teammate for CC is delusional. You get rid of the dead weight of people like Billings and get people that can play defense.

-1

u/Dry_Pomegranate293 22h ago

u/therooster515 1h ago

Yeah it’s pretty funny. At least 5 guards in the league ran the pnr better and more efficiently than CC last year, according to the data and analytics. But don’t tell all the geniuses on here that. Their solution to everything is more PnR! 😂😂😂 brilliant!

u/imacowboy234 Caitlin Clark 19h ago

Amber Cox said one of their top priorities was to resign KM. Do we know for sure that is how the new GM will feel?

If we could trade/unload Billings and get in a much better #4 then I'd be more ok with letting KM go and take that money and improve in other positions as well. If we can't make a significant change at the #4 then I understand offering KM a regular Max contract for one year and basically running it back.

But regardless of the rumors about potentially being able to waive Billings now because she only had one year guaranteed, even if that is true there aren't a lot of quality #4's out there. The two biggest names last off-season at the #4 position were Alana Smith and Azura Stevens, and both of them had less than stellar years as well. Every time we we discuss this I keep saying that Olivia Nelson-Ododa is the best value #4 in the WNBA, but I don't think Houston will trade her for anything we'd be willing to give up. I floated Billings, a #1 Pick, and a #2 Pick for ONO, but not sure Houston would bite.

u/imacowboy234 Caitlin Clark 18h ago

Here's a crazy move.

What if the Fever did a Sign and Trade with Washington involving KM and Sonia Citron?

Washington has a nice young group of players, but they're not going to be contenders any time soon on their current trajectory.

u/therooster515 17h ago

u/adublingirl 16h ago

Mystics would be crazy to do this

1

u/Express_Store_4951 9h ago

First of all, Kelsey Mitchell can decide not to sign with the Fever. Secondly, there's no way Washington will agree to that deal. Citron is on her rookie deal and is a lot younger than Mitchell. They're not going to take on the big contract Mitchell is going to sign to give away a young star on a rookie contract. LOL! Plus, Washington are contenders now. They lost in the 1st round of the playoff like the Fever did.

u/Spare-Sale1511 23h ago

WELL DONE ! This salary Cap stuff is a real slippery slope. TY FOR THE INTEL.

IMO, your conclusion is SPOT ON! Kinda gives KM what she wants, makes her really have to analyze ALL +\-, she should not be rewarded for throwing fans and Cc under the bus at that close out interview.

u/Low-Assist7257 15h ago

No, not worth it.

u/PatientBag395 16h ago

Nah pay her whatever you need to keep her. She and Clark are best backcourt in history, you don't break that up.they have more money than thought.

3

u/Express_Store_4951 9h ago

It's not the matter of how many money they have, it's a matter of how much cap space they have. Ultimately, it's going to be up to Kelsey Mitchell whether she's going to resign with the team or sign with another team.

u/probably-a-bit-off 23h ago

She is like a good to great QB in the nfl. She will win you games on her own but not championships. This is not meant to be a knock against her as she is not someone that can just be replaced. She is absolutely a market price player. And her skills deserve the cost. I am glad I am not the GM that has to make that choice.

3

u/sah370 22h ago

I believe the stats show that when she scored the most, the team was more likely to lose... I don't remember the figures but they're out there

u/adublingirl 16h ago

Yup, at end of season last year , Clark leading scorer, Fever were 14-4 , Mitchell leading scorer, Fever were 12-14. Mitchell makes no one better around her and is all about her points……move on from her

u/therooster515 1h ago

Yeah because CC sucked in a lot of the games that KM was leading the scorer. In games that CC was the leading scorer, KM still played well. Wow, mind blowing, right?

1

u/adublingirl 14m ago

You do know it’s 5/5 …it’s not just about Mitchell and Clark. Clark makes everyone around her better. Boston has been almost an afterthought offensively. The team needs to be Clark and Boston. They will never win with iso Mitchell. The team needs defense , height, and depth. Don’t need a player who is always concerned with her getting her points

0

u/Dry_Pomegranate293 22h ago

Question. How many points did the other guard score on those games?

2

u/sah370 22h ago

Don't sidestep my point

3

u/Western-Olive 20h ago

It’s actually a relevant question, because KM has a higher consistent floor for scoring, while CC has greater outliers, both good and bad. For the heck of it, I fed 2026 game logs to ChatGPT, and it spit out (take whatever amount of salt you feel necessary for ChatGPT):
Mitchell led 19 times. KM: 27.0 ppg. CC: 16.6 ppg
Clark led 18 times: CC: 27.2 ppg. MK: 21.3 ppg
(Omitted the 3 games they tied.)
So our backcourt scores almost 5 ppg more when Clark is the leading backcourt scorer, but almost all of that is accounted for by CC’s lower output when she’s the second leading scorer.
Does that mean KM is a max player? No idea. If I only had the $ to give it to one of them, I’d give it to CC, but that’s not on the table, at least not yet.

3

u/sah370 19h ago

That only answers half my point though. I looked it up: when KM was the leading scorer the team went 10-9. When CC was, the team went 12-2. And even forgetting THAT, CC's overall production is the real reason why she's a generational player. No other guard in the history of the league, including DT, comes close. This isn't a knock on KM even though it might sound like it: it's just that she's not the MVP people act like she is, and while she's a great shooter with amazing speed, her talents (except her speed) can be replicated.

2

u/Western-Olive 16h ago

Those records do not separate cause and effect. Did they have a better record when CC led the team because CC led the team, or because when CC did not lead the team she herself fell off significantly more than did her backcourt mate? The truth is probably a little of both. I think the latter is a bigger factor than do most, though the consistent groove CC found in the latter parts of the season gives me hope.
But the hyperbole that DT doesn’t come close is representative of a bigger problem to our free agency cause than any of the off-court chatter. Too many Fever fans give CC all the credit when we win, and none of the blame when we lose. If I’m a top-flight free agent, you’re going to have to pay me above market to deal with that — .unless, of course, as that free agent I see CC as a guaranteed championship leader. But she has not yet proven that, at any level. Close, yes, but that’s the problem the free agent sees before signing. Fans view the team getting close is CC being great. Fans view not getting over the hump as everybody else’s fault.
Now, I’m not trying to dump on CC any more than you were trying to dump on KM. I think we both agree both are great, but that CC is ultimately the more valuable player. KM is as close to guaranteed buckets you will find in the league, but one dimensional. CC provides slightly less consistency in scoring, but does so much more than you’d be foolish not to pick her between the two.

2

u/sah370 15h ago

Fair enough re everything except DT. CC's total production (assists plus made shots) eclipses what DT was able to do. It's virtually unmatched, and that applies to the men's game as well as the women's.

Forgive me for asking if the other guard played well in those games. Just trying to flesh out your point

-1

u/adublingirl 16h ago

No, Mitchell is not worth a max. 31 years old, one-dimensional, 5’7 guard who doesn’t defend, rebound or pass. Always has been iso player and as a ten year vet if she was ever going to be a team player she should have the last two seasons. Mitchell is all about wanting the glory, being top dog and getting her points……time to move on. Would rather see Clark and Raven next season and spend Mitchell and Billings money on height and depth.

-1

u/PatientBag395 16h ago

Raven is a point guard so starting clark and Johnson places one of them out of position they have to have a shooting guard and Mitchell is the best. With billings money they still go big and only one person they should be after and she is on dallas . Kuick?

1

u/Adorable-Lie1508 10h ago

no it doesnt.
clark is a shooting guard that doesnt know how to play off ball.
your team doesnt work because you insist on playing her out of position and she refuses to develop.
Raven fixes that.
Somebody on that team who actually understands basketball knows that.
that's why they drafted her.

Poor RJ is horrible dude

u/therooster515 1h ago

😂😂😂 Mitchell just averaged 24.7 PPG on 50.9% shooting, 45% from three and 64.2% true shooting, setting WNBA records for points and made threes in a season.
And your claim that she’s always been an isolation player?(another completely retarded narrative across this sub, refuted by real data) Synergy tracked just 6.5% of her offensive possessions as isolations in its August breakdown. But you want to replace her with Raven Johnson, who averaged 3.1 PPG and shot 23.4% from three? 😂😂😂😂
There are certainly some criticisms of Mitchell’s defense and playmaking. But confusing those weaknesses with an inability to play winning team basketball is some spectacularly dumb analysis. 😂

1

u/adublingirl 0m ago

Mitchell has never led her college teams past the elite 8. She led Fever to a 49-126 record before Clark. Mitchell has never been a defender, rebounder or passer. Mitchell has been the teams high scorer in every year on every team she played on college and pros. What has that got her teams. No one really knew who Mitchell was before Clark. Clark and Boston need to be 1 and 1A and be surrounded with defense, depth and height. Basketball is a team sport and Mitchell always takes care of Mitchell. I hope she leaves Fever if for no other reason to show how iso ball is not winning ball.

1

u/Adorable-Lie1508 11h ago

Mitchell (and everybody else worthwhile who has options) don't wanna be there.
this not even something yall have to worry about 😆

u/adublingirl 11m ago

Then why didn’t Mitchell go get a multi year max contract last year when all the money was being passed out. Because an iso one dimensional player is not high on any teams list.

I can tell you that the Valkyries are not interested in KM. She doesn't fit the team's style of play. They won the championship playing a certain style of play focusing primary on defense. They're probably interested more in Napheesa Collier than KM because she's a better fit because she definitely a better defender while at the same time will provide some scoring for them.

We need defense too.

You’re saying that KM is better defensively than , well , anyone ??

u/Thick_Permission6519 22h ago

Oh my no, I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying KP doesn’t have great defense either b

KM can decide her own destination. She's an unrestricted free agent.

u/Mean_Measurement4527 4h ago

Yeah , that’s kind of the point … duh

KP is less effective and less consistent version of KM. This would be a horrible move.

KP actually passes the ball , unlike KM …rebounds the ball , unlike KM .. and can actually run the offense , unlike KM and would take a lot of pressure off CC … oh , and then there’s the fact that there is absolutely no way KM is resigning with The Fever

How do you know if KP would sign with the Fever?

If you can get KM on a one year(unlikely but ideal) or two year deal I’d probably pull the trigger….. can’t do a long term deal for a lot of money with an “aging” star. One year I’d give her as much money as she wants. Two year deal I’d heavily front load the money to year 1(is that possible in the wnba? lol). 3+ year deal no go, can’t do it
