The Storm needs to play with more ‘fire in their bellies’.

They need a vocal leader.

The Storm need a Chelsea Gray-like firebrand.

The person is already on the roster.

They just need to lead and keep the troops fired up and engaged.

It sounds like Noey ripped into the team during halftime. Nneka mentioned that in the post-game press conference. I would think Skylar would get after the team if they aren't playing to their potential, like what we saw in the first half on Tuesday night. Media sits on the opposite end of the court from the Storm's bench, so that's not something I can really see/hear regarding timeouts and if teammates and coaches are talking/what they're saying, etc.

As PG, it would totally make sense that SD would be the voice. Plus she has the stats to back up her words.

Maybe it’s going to take some time, though she seemed pretty vocal last season.

Li Yueru requests trade…

Can’t say we’ve been using her properly. With our cap limitations it’s going to be hard to get someone comparable as she’s at such a low cap hit

It almost seems like there is no way they could get a better player/value since Li is on a minimum contract. They likely would need to include Katie Lou or Lexie Brown in the deal to make it work. I saw Nekias suggest Stephanie Talbot from Golden State.

Wonder if there are reasons other than the limited minutes she is getting.

Apparently there were some nasty comments from Lexie Brown last year with LA…and then they both wind up in Seattle. Don’t know if this has anything to do with it tho

I’m not thrilled that Lexie Brown is on the Storm. I don’t see her contributing, and from interviews, she would much rather be in Los Angeles.

Yeah, i liked the signing originally, but she really does not seem to want to be here.
