New ST membership pricing is now happening AFTER the draft...

Ooh, I am annoyed about this!! I put down a deposit for new season tickets in September. At that point they told me that I'd be able to see the updated pricing and choose seats either at the end of September or in October. I just asked for an update and now they're saying it's happening after the lottery.

Cost of Living in LA/ Where do the players live?

https://ktla.com/news/ucla-professor-says-hes-homeless-due-to-low-pay/

So, LA has become more expensive than SF and NYC apparently. This physics professor can't afford rent near UCLA. Does anyone know where the players are given apartments? Obviously, getting a free car and apartment on top of the salary is great, but I'm just curious about where the women stay given the cost of living in LA? Is it a stipend? Or a particular complex near the playing facility?

r/wnba just perma-banned the highlight dude

Hey everyone, some of you may recognize my name on r/wnba.

2 days ago I randomly woke up to find I was perma-banned.

At first I thought I tripped the automod, using the term "jerking off".

Here's the context: https://np.reddit.com/r/wnba/comments/1fzxi47/offseason_basketball_posts_overseas_unrivaled_au/lrd7iab/

Highlights with no intent to start conversation

What does that even mean?

Who's here jerking off to an empty white page. "Yah, no one commented on my post". No one is purposely trying to do that.

I guess it's a slight upgrade from seeing highlights as "low-effort content". Y'all replaced an ambiguous rule with another ambiguous rule.

/End rant

I just want to say, the automod improvements are amazing.

Having your post instantly removed, rather than randomly removed 30 mins later. So much better.

The later was a great way to discourage anyone from making content.

 

But it seems to be more personal than that. They have completely ghosted me.

When I tried to reach out with an alt. They ip banned all my alts. Shits serious apparently.

Sorry for going off-topic. I didn't know where to post this. As I certainly can't do it on r/wnba anymore lol.

Paige Bueckers as a Spark is all but guaranteed at this point

It is pretty much a guarantee more or less that the Los Angeles Sparks win the WNBA Draft Lottery and if they do, without hesitation take Paige Bueckers #1 overall. If they do, Paige easily becomes the new face of the franchise. In LA, she will be as beloved as Kobe was God rest his soul and just as loved as Magic especially if she develops into a superstar just like Caitlin Clark.

Plus with Bueckers, Jackson and Brink that's a Big 3 in LA that you can build the franchise around.

Season tickets

I am thinking about getting season tickets for the coming up year, but I have some questions is it normal to pay a deposit to get a pass. I requested info and they are asking for a 100 deposit. Also am I able to sell my ticket if I’m not able to go to a game

[2025 Mock Draft] Paige Bueckers at No. 1 could be the savior LA Sparks are looking for with her special two-way talents: "Pairing Bueckers as a lead guard with two potential future stars in Rickea Jackson and Cameron Brink would give the Sparks one of the league's brightest futures"

In a draft class replete with talent, Kiki Irafen, Olivia Miles and Aneesa Morrow could all turn out to be bona fide stars for their teams Source

Calling it now, we are not getting Paige

Either we're gonna lose the lottery, or if we get first Paige is gonna use her COVID waiver to stay for another year. If she gets drafted I bet she demands an immediate trade.

I'm pretty sure she stayed last year because she saw LA number two pick. Part of that was Curt (who thankfully is FINALLY shitcanned) but the owners/front office aren't any better.

I feel like this was inevitable but who do you think could be a good replacement?

Do Sparks take KiKi if we lose the 1st pick in the lottery?

She’s the Second best player in the draft (actually 1B), but we already have Cam, and Li as the bigs.

*Side note, I think Kelsey Plum is going to be available in the offseason as a consolation at Point guard if we lose out on first Pick (Paige)

Based on this team photo. How tall is Cam Brink really? She seems to be almost the same height as Li? Who is 6’7? 🤔
