Since the 28th WNBA season began, some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with Christie Sides’s in-game decisions, while others have criticised Clark’s players’ support.
In the midst of these difficulties, Phoenix Mercury owner Mat Ishbia’s recent social media post has inspired speculative thinking and optimism among Clark’s devoted followers.
Ishbia recently celebrated the success of the Phoenix-hosted WNBA All-Star Weekend on his X account.
“What a fantastic WNBA All-Star Weekend! I want to thank Phoenix for being the host city and all of the fans for coming out to support these amazing female athletes.” I’m thrilled to be a member of the team and am looking forward to where the WNBA goes.”Along with pictures from the occasion, Ishbia shared a post that featured a noteworthy picture of Caitlin Clark making her maiden All-Star layup.
This seemingly harmless post has sparked a lot of fan conjecture over Clark possibly joining the Phoenix Mercury.
Supporters of Fever hope for a Caitlin Clark trade.
Through social media, a fan made a direct plea to Ishbia, saying, “lol Mat, how are you going to get Caitlin Clark out of her contract? (trailer full with cash?) I beg you to do so if the Fever screw up CC’s rookie year in any way. Mat, whatever it takes.”
Regarding the Fever’s management’s apparent lack of support, a different fan expressed his want for Caitlin Clark to join the Mercury: ” You would undoubtedly be far more interested in her and her profession than the Fever’s owner is. Oh, and you also definitely wouldn’t put up with your coach and general manager treating her like trash. I’ll continue to pray.
Fans have speculated that Ishbia may eventually target Clark as well due to his mastery of trades and acquisitions, which has been demonstrated by the Mercury’s recent arrivals of Kahleah Copper, Natasha Cloud, and Natasha Mack.
An upbeat admirer said, “sneaking CC in there… work your magic Mat”
