Candace Parker warns WNBA about the Indiana Fever move

The trades in both the NBA and WNBA have been among the biggest stories in sports recently. The WNBA's free agency was highlighted by Kelsey Plum and Satou Sabally, and in the background it was the Indiana Fever that made the best move to build a lethal team around Caitlin Clark.

On February 3, while discussing WNBA trades during a segment of the Unrivaled Pregame show, Candace Parker highlighted the lethal Fever team that had been put together. The three-time WNBA champion said that the blend of the young core and the veterans would make the Fever a tough team to beat.

"DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard going to Indiana, I think that's gonna be huge for their young core," Candace Parker said.

"If you think about what Caitlin Clark and what Aliyah Boston are doing, and you think about their growth, having two players that have won championships, coming in and being that solid vet, I think that's going to be huge for their organization," she continued.

"That's one of those quiet free agency moves... I think [the team] that people should be talking about more is Indiana... You talk about shooters on shooters on shooters. It's going to be tough to guard them."

The team made their intentions clear by re-signing Kelsey Mitchell. They also made big additions by acquiring Sydney Colson, Sophie Cunningham, DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard in the free agency. With such lineups with Caitlin Clark as a scorer and a facilitator, the Fever will be among legitimate title contenders.
