The early parts of WNBA free agency started just days ago, and Sue Bird has some thoughts about an unexpected player in the mix—Unrivaled.
Yep. That’s right. Unrivaled might cause a little chaos. While the league is an additional option for players to utilize in the offseason to keep their skills sharp and to stay stateside, it’s hard not to notice the elephant in the room. So many WNBA players are down in Miami…from January until March…during the height of WNBA free agency.
See where I’m going with this? Sue Bird recently reinforced the same notion on her A Touch More podcast with Megan Rapinoe, and she added a bit more color to it. Here’s what she said (See the 28:20 mark of the YouTube video below.):
“Oh my God. There’s going to be so many superteams formed in Unrivaled. The WNBA free agency chatter that must be happening—in the training room, when they’re out shopping, when they’re getting some coffee—has gotta be next level…”
“Now they’re together for, like, two months during WNBA free agency. So, the level of recruiting—I can only imagine.”
