As February 1 marks the start of WNBA free agency, the Washington Mystics have lost only Shatori Walker-Kimbrough to Atlanta Dream. The team underwent a major shakeup, firing long-serving GM Mike Thibault and Head Coach Eric Thibault, after several years of mediocre performance post-championship. Fans express mixed feelings about the changes, questioning whether the new, unproven management can deliver a championship. Considering ongoing struggles of local rival teams, there is speculation about potential trades involving key veterans like Ariel Atkins and Brittney Sykes as the team faces imminent rebuilding decisions.
My feeling is that at the very least, some fans are now regretting 'running the Thibaults out of town,' so to speak.
The Mystics aren't in the conversation for any higher level free agent. And their new front office is unproven, to say the least.
