    The Washington Mystics hold the keys to Free Agency: Are Cloud and Delle Donne gone? | WNBA podcast
    Jan 19 2024

    Host Jackie Powell is joined by The Next’s Mystics beat reporter to unpack an opinion Jackie has. Why do the Washington Mystics hold the keys to WNBA Free Agency this winter? What is the latest on Elena Delle Donne and where could the pair see her ending up especially after the Mystics cored her on January 13? Also, does Natasha Cloud leave the team who drafted her? Jenn doesn’t think so, but Cloud will be on top of many teams’ free agency wish lists. And finally, if both players don’t return to Washington, how do the Mystics move forward and into a new era without their two franchise stalwarts? Is it time for retooling or rebuilding?

    Satou Sabally SHOCKING Free Agency Move + WNBA Core Rules Explained
    Apr 8 2026
    Satou Sabally is officially one of the MOST intriguing names in WNBA free agency — and her next move could reshape the league. On today’s episode of Locked On Women’s Basketball, Sophia Jones breaks down why Sabally is not expected to return to the Phoenix Mercury, what happened during her Finals run and injury situation, and which teams could be the best fit — including the Toronto Tempo, Los Angeles Sparks, and Golden State Valkyries. We also dive into the WNBA’s core designation rules — one of the most important (and confusing) parts of free agency — and what it means for stars like Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, Napheesa Collier, and more. Plus, a full breakdown of qualifying offers across the league, including restricted and reserved players you NEED to know. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
