Sharing with my audience the latest reports that have come out recently regarding the #WNBA and CBA negotiations. Do you think we will have a 2026 WNBA season? stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/the-latest...
On Sunday, the Seattle #Seahawks need to be like the Storm. I wrote about how rare it can be to compete for a championship and the importance of winning it all when you're talented enough to do so. #SuperBowl stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/the-seahaw...
Also, if you are a month to month member, I completely understand if you want to cancel during the dead months of the off-season, and sign back up as the season gears up.
If you are an annual member and not sure if you want to renew, you can cancel and should be able to keep it until it expires.
This is a courtesy reminder. Please do NOT file fraud charges on my Substack account because you forgot to cancel the auto-renewal. It negatively impacts my business and hits me with additional fees beyond the original charge. I am happy to work something out first. Message me.
It's not an actual deal, but the #WNBA and the WNBA PA have agreed on a 40-day extension on their CBA negotiations as they try to avoid a lockout or canceled 2026 season. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...
Happy Thanksgiving, Storm fans! My long article about Ezi Magbegor and her future is available now to everyone. Enjoy! #WNBA stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/the-ezi-ma...
One storyline to keep an eye on is whether or not Betts could fall out of the lottery entirely. She could end up 1st or 2nd in the draft, but if she doesn't, I'm not sure she is a fit with the rest of the lottery teams. Her best fits are with Dallas or Minnesota, but let's say they take Azzi Fudd and Awa Fam instead. If Seattle re-signs Ezi, Nneka, or both, I don't see them taking her.
I wrote this about Lauren Betts on Sunday. Could she end up with the Toronto Tempo or Portland Fire? #WNBA #WNBADraft stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/storm-pick...
The next step I think the Storm's ownership group should take is to invest more in a scouting department. Not long ago, in the WNBA, the head coach was also the General Manager. Brian Agler filled both roles from 2008-2014 with the Storm. James Wade did the same with the Chicago Sky from 2018-2023. But as the WNBA expands to grander heights, that can no longer be the norm.
A look back at when I wrote about how the Seattle Storm's ownership should invest even more into scouting as they look for ways to gain an advantage against the rest of the #WNBA. Women's basketball is growing significantly. Continue to grow with it! stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/storm-lose...
I wrote about the Seattle Storm's #WNBADraft options after we learned that they will pick 3rd overall next year. The article is available to all WNBA fans. stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/storm-pick...
The Seattle Storm will pick 3rd overall in the 2026 #WNBADraft. The Dallas Wings win the #1 overall pick. The Minnesota Lynx will pick 2nd overall. Washington (4th) and Chicago (5th) round out the group. The draft went completely chalk with no movement.
The Seattle Storm need to figure out how they want to build their frontcourt moving forward, and that centers around their decision on Ezi Magbegor. But it's not just their decision, it's hers too. This is the Ezi Magbegor Conundrum. #WNBA stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/the-ezi-ma...
Gabby Williams will represent the Seattle Storm at the Draft Lottery on Sunday.
I missed this earlier, but Gabby Williams will represent the Seattle Storm at the #WNBA Draft Lottery on Sunday. May Gabby bring good luck.

I wrote about the conclusion of the #WNBA season after the Las Vegas Aces won their 3rd title. I wrote about A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young, Alyssa Thomas, Jewell Loyd, Breanna Stewart, and more. Open to all WNBA fans. stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/aces-win-3...
The Seattle #Mariners will play for the American League Championship. I don’t believe it!
The Phoenix crowd was booing Cathy Engelbert mercilessly as she tried to speak during the Aces' post-game coronation.
You aren’t a true sports commissioner unless the crowd is booing the shit out of you, haha. #WNBA
The Las Vegas Aces have won their 3rd #WNBA Championship as they sweep the Phoenix Mercury 4-0. They win this game 97-86. A'ja Wilson led the way with 31 points and 17-19 FT. Jewell Loyd wins her 3rd title as well. It's Las Vegas's 3rd title in 4 years (2022, 2023, 2025).
Nate should have used his reset on that last possession so the Mercury could have gone two-for-one. A big coaching mistake in my eyes. #WNBA
It might help if he played with a helmet on.
I am hopeful the Phoenix Mercury can win tonight, just so we actually might get a competitive #WNBAFinals. It felt like it in real time and even more so now. The Phoenix Mercury blew a huge opportunity by losing Game 1, especially with Las Vegas coming off a grueling Game 5 OT win over Indiana.
FINAL: The Las Vegas Aces go up 2-0 as they defeat the Phoenix Mercury 91-78 in a game that wasn't that close. A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young combined for 60 points (2nd most by a duo in #WNBAFinals history). Wilson had 28 points and 14 rebounds, Young with 32 points - 21 in the 3rd quarter. #WNBA
Oh, it’s a tremendous amount of work! Passion and adrenaline help!
FINAL: The Las Vegas Aces defeat the Phoenix Mercury 89-86. A'ja Wilson had 21 points & 10 rebounds, but it was really Dana Evans (21 points) and Jewell Loyd (18 points), both off the bench, that led Las Vegas to the Game 1 victory. #WNBA
It doesn’t actually look like her elbow hit Smith’s face or am I just not seeing it correct? #WNBA
#WNBAFinals the Phoenix Mercury lead the Las Vegas Aces 50-45 at the midway point. Kahleah Copper leads all scorers with 19 points. Alyssa Thomas has 10 points and 6 assists. The Aces' bench has outscored the Mercury's reserves 25-8 as Jewell Loyd (13 points) and Dana Evans (10 points) lead the way.
Are people still hyped for the #WNBA Finals between the Las Vegas Aces and the Phoenix Mercury? Or are they more interested in the Phee/Engelbert dialogue?
It’ll be the Las Vegas Aces versus the Phoenix Mercury in the #WNBA Finals. What a hell of a series by the Indiana Fever who took Las Vegas to OT in Game 5 despite numerous injuries.
