Why is Natasha Cloud still unsigned before training camp?

Trista Crick 0:14
Because the WNBA season is right around next week. God dang it.
Juju Gotti 0:19
This week! Right now! This second!
Trista Crick 0:22
Welcome back to Good Follow, presented by DraftKings. Come on, man. You already know what's going on. I'm Juju Gotti. I'm... Trista Crick, did you? You got to know. But, man, it's a lot of free agencies going on. A lot of training camps have kicked off. But it's a lot of free agents still left out there, bro. Like, I'm going to just go ahead and kick this off because I'm advocating. I'm so sorry. My sister is still a damn free agent. It don't make no sense. Tasha Cloud is still a free agent. Let me tell you who we're talking about. A 10-year, almost 11-year veteran. a WNBA champion, a 2022 All-Defense First Team, 2022 WNBA Assist Leader, Don Staley Community Award Leadership Guy. She got the Don Staley Leadership Award.
Trista Crick 1:16
This is what's most important to me because you hear all these numbers, you're like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. 2019 All-Defensive Second Team and 2024. All defensive second team. Highlighting the fact that sis still got it. Athletes Unlimited, unrivaled. She done proved herself for everybody. She will advocate for me and you. And my sister is not on the roster. What do you make of that, sis?
Juju Gotti 1:45
You know, I thought Juju when Jonathan Kolb said the GM of the Liberty. You know, I just didn't think that Tasha got the most out of Sabrina. First and foremost, I don't like Jonathan Kolb. I don't like how he did Sandy Brondello, and I don't like what's going on with Tasha Cloud. But to me, there's a clear sign that... Tasha is not happy or it was not happy with what her agent did with that information. Since then, recently, she has departed from that agent and gotten a new agent.
Trista Crick 2:19
I didn't know that.
Juju Gotti 2:20
I think that's kind of the big issue is that you try to get the bag. Maybe you think you can go back to a contender. They have different plans for you than you have for yourself. And by the time you start scrambling around and looking for another team, it's like musical chairs and everybody's sitting already down.
Trista Crick 2:36
Bruh, I don't know, bruh. I feel like I can find some space because I done seen a lot of names on certain rosters that I salute to them, but not even pales in comparison to my dog. And 2024 Skills Challenge winner, true champion, this one, 25, the one that just passed, her and Erica Wheeler went off. Like, bruh, I'm talking about Natasha Cloud, the Natasha Cloud. Bruh, Natasha Cloud, to me, there is no excuse for her not to be on a roster. To me, it's politics because she will stand up and advocate for people who don't necessarily have a voice. And I think that coming into play, especially when her skills are already... Unmatched. It's embarrassing to me. Put my sister on the team.

What potential teams could Natasha Cloud join?

Juju Gotti 3:22
She's got strappies. She puts you in prison. She puts the seatbelt on you. We saw that against The Fever. We've seen that multiple times against The Lynx. Natasha Clout was a huge piece of the puzzle of what... the New York Liberty were doing. Let's be honest. The reason that the Liberty ended up losing games down the regular season stretch was not because of Tasha Cloud not fitting with Sabrina Ionescu. It was because Brianna Stewart got injured and Jonquil Jones got injured. Don't forget the facts. Before you start piecing and parsing why a player is no longer there. I want her on Portland. I think she'd be incredible there. They have plenty of money. She's a vet. That's a city that's very friendly to people who are advocates and outspoken about some of the issues that Natasha Cloud has spoken out about.
Juju Gotti 4:07
They need a guard. I don't know if Ayanna Martine is going to come over from Spain or whether she's going to stay over like the Golden State Valkyries had for... Justa, Jochita. I think there's places for her. I saw one little piece of news saying that she was rumored to maybe be linked to the Dallas Wings, which could be interesting. They have a lot of guards. How many guards? Oh, no, you know what it was? It was actually not that. It was another place that has a lot of guards. The Atlanta Dream.
Trista Crick 4:36
Okay, so you're all ready right now.
