Amber Cox came in last October and became the new general manager and COO of basketball operations. She has NBA finals experience and has had success wherever she goes. Her fingerprints are all over this team. The Fever are going to set records next season.😊😊
I wanted Sophie on the fever for 6 months….IM SUPER EXCITED
Even though we still miss Temi, it is looking pretty good.
Love every move so far. Couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming season.
Everybody wants to keep saying oh this is a good move for the fever, but it’s not it’s gonna bring just as much drama as nelissa Smith just different people I need to quit going to Dykes or us to get players with girlfriends that play in the league that’s drama all day long which is a distraction. That’s why men doesn’t really watch when the sports anyway is too much drama if I want drama, I will watch a moviebut I know you guys probably won’t agree but just remember this comment when the season is over and you will be saying I was right.
I’m mean Kelsey Mitchell! 🙏❤️👏👍
Yeah A. Smith is gone! Yeah!!
Yeah for Kelley Mitchell our Lady has returned! ❤🙏👍😊
Sophie is another Straight White Player with experience and Tenacity,,, let's get ready for a whole lot of Fun to watch in 2025❤
Great trade. Title contenders yes, but not favorites yet. But almost max contract money left for one more piece…. still crossing my fingers for Emma “nikola jokic” Meesseman
Nice to see the Fever deeping their bench, giving backups to their top players.
The Fever have upgraded for sure. Its going to make for an interesting upcoming season. With teams like the Liberty, Lynx, Mercury, and Aces it's going to be a tough fight for the top teams in the league. If the Fever break into the top five, I would be impressed. Gonna be a fun season to watch!
MAGA Barbie is Amazing!!
And they have a big coaching upgrade.
Sophie is going to make the Fever great again
Natasha and Sophie….move to Indy ASAP…in the gym with Coach Porter…..in the gym with CC to get acclimated to CC passes. We want no fumbles to start the season. All teammates get together and gel early….not sure how many can work with coaches at the same time…but you guys can play on your own. Let's get this done…we want to be out the gate from the start. That being said: can't wait for that one more move to hit.
Sophie for #8 pick and smith is a huge win for the fever. Sophie will be better than the 8 pick in every way. Replacing Smiths attitude with Sophie’s is a huge win.
I totally agree. Cunningham and Howard are a better fit and more impactful for the Fever than just Satou Sabally, and there is no injury cloud hanging over either player. Also, Kelly Krauskopf didn't just get back from Paris from a holiday. She said the Fever were going to sign some veterans and also look overseas. If Kelly went overseas, she signed somebody. My hope is that it will be Janelle Salaün. If not Salaün, then Gabby Williams or Emma Meesseman. Stay tuned. I think there is another big signing to come.
Sophie!!!!!
Fun fact: It won't be necessary to protect Howard( she has CORE protection) from the next expansion draft therefore leaving us with more player protection.
Sophie 😘
Love this trade but 8th pick though :(?
Sophie is tough and will be an enforcer, shoots the three pretty well
Love the moves the Fever are making. Ppl are now saying get Dewanna Bonner but I completely disagree! We don’t need another Nalyssa Smith situation. It would ruin everything
Nalyssa Smith , Samuelson , Wheeler and Berger are all wasting cap space and need to be moved imo if possible
Fever lost this deal giving up number 8 hull is better than Cunningham imo
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! NALYSSA SMITH IS GONE!!!!!
Sabally wants to be no. 1 option or no. 2 option for offense. With the fever, she's 4th… with KM, CC, AB being on the top….
Cunningham is good but i like sabally much more , ok i like cunningham i think she will be good fit also howard , im excited !
Heads up! Smith, in 2024 Smith shot 48%. That is better than any other Indiana Fever player including most people's favorite Caitlin Clark.. But Smith was such a headache for the Fever that people forgot her shooting ability. I am glad she is off the roster. She will have a great future is she can get her head on straight. Some "ifs" are BIG IFS!
Sophie Cunningham 100 times better than Kristy Wallace. And Lexi Hull has a problem getting into foul trouble. So it's a great move by the Fever.
Fever is championship contender? — First of all, they need to progress to the finals. Secondly, there are 3 big teams in WNBA: Liberty, Aces and Lynx.
CC makes everybody better so it’s going to be fun.
getting sophie is a win
Stephanie White specialty is defense. Maybe she see something in Cunningham that we don't see.
