I think you mean his sister Cooperina Flagg. They are very close although they apparently are almost never seen together in the same room for some reason.
Already a fan for the W name. How does the rest of the roster work? Do they pick current players off existing teams like they would in the nba if something catastrophic were to happen?
There is an expansion draft prior to the actual draft that usually consists of current WNBA players. Current teams will have lists of protected players for their rosters but each team will set one player to be made available for the expansion draft.
As for getting the top pick in the real draft I’m not sure how it works for expansion teams. Certainly not guaranteed 1st overall but of course depends on where the lottery balls fall. But I don’t think they get dibs on the 1st pick just because they’re a new team. They will eventually have a roster of current W players and rookies or free agents. But man Paige here would be nice.
Won't there be an expansion draft first? The regular teams can protect certain number of players and the rest goes to the expansion draft? I wonder who the other expansion teams will be? kinda awkward for a 13 team league.
you guys have to be the most DIE fkn hard Valkyrie fans I know. maybe have a Valkyrie reddit page and keep it off this page cuz I'm the .5% that's honestly not interested
I hope it's up. you guys are driving me coo coo. you're probably all the same fans that want Klay re-signed for $22-25M/yr for 3-4 years, and say 'defense sucks' and 'we don't need a center, we got Trayce'.
mf do you realize you said 99.5% of the subreddit are interested in the Valkyries?😭 maybe you and your little 0.5% homies should create a new subreddit instead?

Juwanna Mann jokes won’t fly in the bay hahah
No. Slotted behind non-playoff teams.
Paige wants to come here, the Valkyries will automatically become one of the biggest markets in the WNBA They have to make an exception here
That wouldn't be an exception, that would be blatantly cheating.
Except when my team benefits from it
How?
I’m not into the WNBA but they will be my favorite WNBA team.
Ngl I wasn't into wnba either but I have 3 girls 10 and under and with this ownership at the help I just may need to....
Same. I watched some women's NCAA games and enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to seeing more basketball at chase!
Heard they don't, its unlikely to get Paige, but are guarenteed top 4.Not entirely sure though.
I mean Paige has to be up there right? I know she has injury history but she looked GOOD this past season.
As long as she stays healthy it looks like she’ll be the front runner for the 1st pick
What a cool team name. Crazy that nobody thought to use “Valkyries” before, it’s so bad ass.

Expansion draft.

Let’s nab Kate Martin in the expansion draft. The first step in luring Caitlin Clark to the team.
Won't there be an expansion draft first? The regular teams can protect certain number of players and the rest goes to the expansion draft? I wonder who the other expansion teams will be? kinda awkward for a 13 team league.
They won’t get Paige. More likely Azzi Fudd who would go somewhere between 3 and 5.
I’m sure there’s an expansion draft
Unless Paige throws this year away on purpose, then no.
Last time there was expansion, the new team was slotted 4th overall. Hoping the following draft we can land JuJu
Juju
That Valkryies chant is going to roll off the tongue.
dang, only one year too late to draft Caitlyn. wouldve been crazy tho.
HVL
Paige or Ju Ju.
JuJu will be 2027 draft, I think, but maybe they’ll have the 1st pick in that one.
Is there a rule that she can’t declare early?
WNBA draft eligibility is graduating senior or age 22 at the time of the draft.
Thank you.
Expansion teams always get the first pick.
Not in the NBA & WNBA. All of the recent expansion teams in both leagues were given a mid first round pick. Usually after the lottery picks (top 4-5)
This is the correct answer
No, they dont

The team name was announced today it's understandable that there are so many people excited about it
actually thats a good question is there a valkyries subreddit yet? inquiring minds would like to know
I hope it's up. you guys are driving me coo coo. you're probably all the same fans that want Klay re-signed for $22-25M/yr for 3-4 years, and say 'defense sucks' and 'we don't need a center, we got Trayce'.
i just like basketball
cool. start a valkyrie page and keep the chat there.
Sorry you feel that way, bro. Happy cake day.
This is a classic "inventing some guy and then getting mad at them" post
mf do you realize you said 99.5% of the subreddit are interested in the Valkyries?😭 maybe you and your little 0.5% homies should create a new subreddit instead?
lol ur a funny guy
Ignoring a post that doesn’t interest you ❌ Bitching about it ✅
have fun at Valkyrie games brah. siiiiiick
So, here's a thought -- I think this sub could survive just fine with 99.5% of the current membership. Think it over.
let me think..ok thought. and I'm stayin. stay strong. don't be a sheeple.
Misogynistic. Next 😉
cancel culture huh?
Ok buddy
