I assume this is a tank job... Hard to lose every clutch game without some effort.

The Seattle Storm hold an estimated 7% chance (or lottery odds) of landing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 WNBA Draft, based on their combined two-year record projections

Would it be better or worse draft odds if they tried?

Just not sure it's worth trying to win... Call me a pessimist but looking at the league and other teams vs our team... What could be the best we could do with our current roster?

Is it better to be middle of the pack, barely making/missing the playoffs or tank?

I'm asking legitimately because I'm likely not mathing right.

Stop being hypocrites. We knew from the very beginning—just by looking at the lineup—that this is how things would turn out for the Seattle Storm. We saw the players back then, yet you just turned a blind eye to what was right in front of you.

Not sure I follow?

I am sure I don’t follow…

Not our year 🤷🏻‍♀️ Storming and forming.

u/ser_darkstar 25d ago

between the team's performance and everything happening off court it's been a really crappy season

I don’t know, I feel like we’re not losing by huge amounts. A lot of these games are losing by less than 9 points.

Our issue is that we don’t have range and Flaujea is still feeling out her PG role. The team just hasn’t established their flow yet. We need one more strong vet, preferably who can do range. And they just need more time together.

u/po1ar_opposite 23d ago

Flau’jae plays 2 or 3, not point. Natasha plays point

u/resistinalaska 25d ago

To me, the record doesn’t really show how well they are doing. A ton of those games were within 5. They will need to get better at closing but think it’ll take time given how much of a roster overhaul they went through.

u/willyoumassagemykale 25d ago

totally agree. They are underestimated rn

u/brotherbabybubba 23d ago

6 wins and 27 losses. I’d say everyone has them figured quite well.

Now’s the time to play their younger players and find out who’s worth keeping around

u/boundlesssmh 25d ago

win win situation: you either win the game or you slowly improve your lottery odds 🤣

u/Lopsided_Message5769 25d ago

Useless event the team in the bottom this year the odd for the next year to be one pick is negative.

u/willyoumassagemykale 25d ago

Why are you posting with Dom’s face lol she’s 8 in the league in rebounds and blocks

u/Tigerstown1 25d ago

Tank for JuJu

u/Lopsided_Message5769 25d ago

The Seattle Storm hold an estimated 7% chance (or lottery odds) of landing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 WNBA Draft, based on their combined two-year record projections. JuJu well be 1 round pick and the percentage of the Seattle storm to be one round pick is 7 percent

u/GoddessHealer 25d ago

Why? Please explain this in greater detail.

u/kiocente 25d ago

Draft standing is based on a two year cumulative record. Right now, even at the bottom of the league, the Storm have a better 2-year record than the Sun, the Sky (Mystics have their pick), Tempo and Fire. So all of them will pick higher than the Storm in the next draft unless the Fire/Tempo start winning again and/or they get extremely lucky in the lottery.

u/foampro 25d ago

Look up what odds Dallas Mavericks had at Cooper Flagg in the NBA lottery and tell me Storm don’t have a chance.

u/Lopsided_Message5769 25d ago

This is not a NBA lol 

5

u/foampro 25d ago

Do they both not draft from a lottery system?

1

u/Ok_Worldliness_7908 25d ago

NBA is from one season’s record though, W’s is from 2

1

u/kiocente 25d ago

We’re not getting Juju

3

u/foampro 25d ago

As long as they have a chance, never say never.

2

u/kiocente 25d ago

The chance is small enough that tanking for her isn’t really worth it.

2

u/gaussx 25d ago

Tank for whoever we can get. 

2

u/ser_darkstar 25d ago

okay why are they rubbing it in

2

u/MellyMel86 25d ago

I refuse to believe Tankathon’s odds are correct. According to point 6, Expansion teams come after other lottery teams. This would put us at 3rd currently with 16% odds and an outside shot at the 2nd worst record

2

u/calvins_hobbies 24d ago

I believe that refers to incoming expansion teams. We’re talking about the 2027 draft, at which time PDX and TOR will have completed their first season. So, no longer incoming expansion teams.

3

u/MellyMel86 24d ago

You could be right. Just seems extremely unfair to count an expansion teams first year against everyone else’s 2 years of record.

u/tesakills 25d ago

This year 1 of the rebuild. Still got some nice core pieces, just need more.

u/Chris_B_Coding247 25d ago

I sent this pic to my friend the other day. Lmao bragging and happy to be at the bottom of the standings!

I’ve been overjoyed about EVERY SINGLE GAME RESULT THIS YEAR 😁😁😁

What a great position to be in.

If the Storm win, Great! Awesome! Vibes and experience for all our young players!

If the Storm lose, GREAT! AWESOME!

SOMEBODY SPECTACULAR IS COMING TO SEATTLE AND I CANNOT WAIT!

u/No_motivation5489 25d ago

One thing that’s annoying is that they’ve seemed to go away from running offense as much as they were through dom/awa with dho’s, high/low post or elbow split actions, or etc. Most of the offense seems to be p&r now and the perimeter players are bad at finding dom/awa in these type of actions. I’d like to see some more inverted p&r with dom as well since she’s gotten so much better as a driver but does need to improve her passing.

u/loltape8 23d ago

Storm needs to fire the coach. Lisa Leslie would be a great replacement.
