So Indiana had just waived the one player on the team that knows and likes Clark and could actually help her be more effective. Literally every action they take it feels like Indiana Fever are trying to sabotage Clark.

THEY SHOULDA WAIVED WHO IS AN UNPRODUCTIVE

[Chris_Restall]

Seriously, doesn’t make any sense… They didn’t even give her a chance…

[joeyojoeyo]

Looked up highlights for Celest. She can pass and make 3`s. They never gave her a chance.

[gphillimo]

Damaris might be a good player and could help the team, but the player waived should NOT have been Celeste Taylor. Should have been Kristy Wallace or Saxton

[MsDebv]

Sabotage. Taylor knows how CC plays. She has played against her. She can play WITH her, and we can't have that.

[amyk]

No one is saying Damiris Dantas should have been waived over Taylor. They are saying Victaria Saxton should have been waived over Celeste Taylor. Saxton has sat the bench of the Fever for the past two years, averaged 3 minutes of play & done nothing. Saxton was a third round 25th pick. She should have been cut & EVERYONE expected Saxton to be the one to get cut when Dantas returned.

The most incompetent organization in professional sports.

And just when you thought they couldn't screw it up anymore....CC...YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE!!! Call your agent and figure it out

[stevehardwick]

Wave your best young defender for another big, slow forward in her 30's. Another stellar move!

[fredjames]

People are going to start switching of with this amount of incompetence

[frederickrobinson]

Given the embarrassment that happened on the sidelines with CC and Sides during the Chicago skies’ game it would not surprise me if Taylor asked to be cut/waived for a better offer. I’m speechless - this action by the Fevers is tone deaf and incompetent 🤦🏽‍♂️

CC needs to demand a trade if nothing changes. She deserves better.

[vinnieboombotz]

Waiving Celeste Taylor is a stupid and uneducated move. One horrible decision after another.

[robertdelange]

it is pure stupidity.. they need defence so lets waive the one we have

[hoythayden]

Dantas looks like another big that will be slow moving down the court.

[BagongPilipino]

They shoud waive christie sides and erica wheeler.

[kingcurmudgeon]

She was probably their best defender. On a team that can’t play defense. So they cut her?

[williamfragaszy]

Should have dumped Wheeler instead - she is worthless. I don’t care that some people think Wheeler can play defense - she can’t. Taylor could have helped with the defense.

[reginaldriley]

Dumb! Damiris Dantas brings absolutely nothing to the table. Yes, I seen her career stats - 7 pts a game - sheesh. The team preach defense and yet waive the one player besides Lexi who can play some.

[brandonzzz]

This is a damn shame The team been suffering from defense, all season and you trade your best defensive player. You have bad enough if you had or sitting on the bench when she should’ve been in the game. This is criminal. Damn shame
