The 2026 WNBA GM Survey is out… and it's BAD.

The NBA MVP race is getting wild… and the media narratives around Luka Dončić are starting to make ZERO sense. From voters saying they won’t pick him… to calling him a problem… to even saying they hate watching him play — what is actually going on? 🤯 With the Los Angeles Lakers surging and Luka putting up insane numbers, the conversation is getting louder than ever. Is this real analysis… or something else? More WNBA updates!!! Today we are covering: - The Indiana Fever moving their games to NBA arenas - The new rules and what to expect in the WNBA expansion draft - Caitlin Clark's new gig as NBA photographer What does the future of the Indiana Fever actually look like heading into free agency? After Caitlin Clark dropped a major hint during her latest appearance on NBA on NBC, it’s starting to feel like the Fever already have a clear priority — and it revolves around keeping their Big Three intact. With Aaliyah Boston locked in and Clark leading the charge, the big question becomes: what happens with Kelsey Mitchell? With the new CBA and max contract limitations looming, Indiana could be forced to make some tough decisions… or go all-in right now. In this episode, we break down why the Fever might be in full “win-now” mode, how the salary cap situation could impact the roster, and what Clark’s comments really reveal about the team’s direction. Plus, we dive into realistic (and a few dream) free agency targets that could elevate this team into a true contender. From versatile wings to defensive anchors and floor-spacing shooters, these are the types of players that could perfectly complement one of the most exciting backcourts in basketball. If the Fever can pull this off, don’t be surprised if they’re at the top of the league sooner than expected. Things are about to get unpredictable heading into the WNBA Draft… With free agency set to completely reshape rosters and front offices still figuring out their long-term plans, I decided to run a full draft simulation — and let’s just say, things got interesting fast. From potential No. 1 overall locks to unexpected risers and international prospects making noise, this exercise shows just how wide open this draft really is. Between team needs, roster construction, and long-term development strategies, there are so many directions franchises could go — and not all of them are obvious. I walk through every pick in the first round, break down the logic behind each selection, and explore how certain fits could change the future of multiple teams across the league. Some picks make perfect sense… others might surprise you 👀 Subscribe to #CourtsideClub now 👏: Spotify 🔗: https://spoti.fi/3QyFchC Apple 🔗: https://apple.co/3QyFqoY INSTAGRAM 📸: http://instagram.com/rademita/ TIKTOK 📹: https://www.tiktok.com/@rademita TWITTER 💬: https://twitter.com/RADeMita
