Can you not play on a Thursday at noon? You know, like who, who's like, I look forward to the call that game.
Trysta KrickGUEST
It's like if we can do it.
Trysta KrickGUEST
I mean, surely the Dallas Wing shouldn't be winning eight games when they have Paige Beckers, right? Like, I mean, surely the Connecticut Sun shouldn't have 10 wins when they have Brittany Griner and, and, and, and.
Trysta KrickGUEST
But like the...
Trysta KrickGUEST
The ability to have a culture built, which is really what I'm so excited and impressed and ready to see come to fruition in Portland, because really Portland has become in many ways just like a junior version of the Golden State Valkyries.

Players like Veronica Burden, who it's hard to believe that she wasn't one of six players that the Connecticut Sun saved in their expansion draft.
Noa DalzellHOST
She's come in and just been just awesome for this team.
Noa DalzellHOST
Gabby Williams was the perfect addition.

You know, I also handle part of my team as DJ Craig G, who is also one of the number one party rocking DJs in the New England area.
Just VicGUEST
Also DJ Michi, who is the official DJ for the UConn Huskies, the Harper Wolf Pack, and the Connecticut Sun.
Just VicGUEST

World Cup games or whatever.
David SamsonHOST
And you're not gonna have the Sparks at $700 million or the Lakers at $12.5 billion.
David SamsonHOST
You'll have them both for less, but the way we're gonna announce it is that people think the WNBA is so healthy because we're gonna fake it till we make it, and we're gonna remind them that what Fertitta did, getting the Connecticut Sun moved for $400 million, we're gonna make sure that the people who used to own the Sun, who have been concerned and nervous about why they couldn't move the team to Boston, why they couldn't keep it in Connecticut, we're gonna put all of it to rest because we're gonna show that these franchises keep going up and up and up.
David SamsonHOST
It's actually a perfect plan because Mark Walter gets satisfied.

He doesn't care if he sells the Sparks for 700 million.
Sarah SpainHOST
If this deal goes through, it would be by far the largest franchise sale in WNBA history.

she has in her career.
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
It reminds me of when she was in Connecticut and was facing, I think it was a series against, I think it was against New York in the semis.
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
I forget if it was New York in the semis or Vegas in the finals.
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
You are a walking
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
And I'm thinking, like...
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
She's getting downhill whenever she wants.
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
Why would she retire? Like she was literally Connecticut had basically no offense other than her in that series.
Ryan RuoccoGUEST
And she would just find a way.
speaker_5HOST
And it kind of started to grow before we saw Cunningham really courting controversy.
speaker_5HOST
There was a June 2025 game against the Connecticut Sun where she pulled J.C. Sheldon down by the neck.
speaker_5HOST
And then she made some comments about trans girls in sports in an ESPN profile.
speaker_5HOST
Before we get to that, like, what was the dust up about that flagrant foul in 2025? And like, what followed it for Cunningham?
