  1. I’m hella Mad we lost Carla but I wish her Good luck in her next chapter, She’s Always gonna be apart of the VALKS History.🟣🪽

  2. Whoever organized this show should be fired.

    Showed one pick and then just dumped rosters in a table for 2 seconds on a screen.

  3. The advert said the expansion draft was to be "live" on ESPN. It wasn't. It had already happened and this was just the report. Horrible. I'd wondered how you were going to do a draft to fill out 2 teams in a 30 min show. Do better ESPN. WE can't blame the presenters. They were just presenting. I guess the responsibility for this falls on Cathy Engelbert as she is the commissioner. Let's do better shall we? I totally understand how you couldn't really do a live draft in 30 min. And I understand how you wouldn't want to make this a longer show. So just say this is a quick summary of what just happened and be honest about it. We're better than this folks! Folks at ESPN and in the WNBA need to be now deciding how they will do this differently in the future. WNBA deserves better than this. Folks adjusted their lunch times yesterday to a later time to come home and watch this. No one who tuned in enjoyed this. There needs to be a statement from both ESPN and Engelbert about how this will improve. The producer of this show needs to be called out on the carpet for sure by both the WNBA and ESPN. It wasted my time. I'd have done better just waiting and watching a youtube summary afterwards.

  4. I had a bad feeling Aces was gonna lose somebody but felt worse when I realized it was the NY Liberty coach that took Nye. Becky gonna have to work that magic in the draft again. Last two picks were great and we keep losing them in expansion drafts. Good luck Nye!
