    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?
