&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kirby Smart&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/georgia-bulldogs&quot;&gt;Georgia Bulldogs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are gearing up for a tough season following a disappointing finish to the 2024 campaign. &lt;strong&gt;As starting quarterback Carson Beck transferred to the University of Miami,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Gunner Stockton&lt;/strong&gt; is set to take over in the Dawgs’ huddle and has already hinted at his fiery personality with a strong statement.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stockton was the hero Smart and the Dawgs relied upon after Beck’s injury&lt;/strong&gt; during the SEC Championship game. The redshirt sophomore quarterback led Georgia to an overtime victory over the Texas Longhorns, and upon learning of the severity of Beck’s absence, &lt;strong&gt;Stockton was given the nod to make his first career start during the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/college-football&quot;&gt;College Football&lt;/a&gt; Playoffs Quarterfinal&lt;/strong&gt; matchup against Notre Dame.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, &lt;strong&gt;the Bulldogs lost to the Fighting Irish and were knocked out of contention&lt;/strong&gt; for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa&quot;&gt;NCAA&lt;/a&gt;‘s&lt;/strong&gt; National Championship. However, Stockton showcased his worth, with little time of preparation and a very limited amount of snaps. Heading into the 2025 season, &lt;strong&gt;Stockton is set to become the starting signal caller in Athens.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It’s all coming along for Stockton who patiently waited his turn and will get his chance to become Georgia’s leader through a stacked SEC. In the days of the transfer portal and NIL deals, &lt;strong&gt;Stockton’s decision becomes even more honourable&lt;/strong&gt;, and the young QB has made something clear about his mindset to Smart, with a message hinting at &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck&quot;&gt;Beck&lt;/a&gt;‘s recent departure from the program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Yeah, I mean &lt;strong&gt;in this day and age the transfer portal is pretty easy to get into and just leave&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Gunner Stockton said, via&lt;em&gt; On3. “But like I said, it’s always been my dream to be the starting quarterback at Georgia. I’m really excited. &lt;strong&gt;Places like Georgia, I mean they’re supposed to be good&lt;/strong&gt;. Every year they’re supposed to sign the top quarterback in the country. So that’s how it is.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/college-football/highest-paid-college-football-head-coaches&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Time to make a name&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Though Stockton heads into 2025 looking like the starting quarterback, &lt;strong&gt;his spot is far from guaranteed&lt;/strong&gt;,as he’ll have to lock it down during spring training and throughout preseason.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Currently, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirby-smart&quot;&gt;Smart &lt;/a&gt;has several quarterback options on the roster. Although Stockton has a head start over everyone since he’s experienced crucial game-situations. &lt;strong&gt;Ryan Puglisi is currently ranked as QB2 in the program&lt;/strong&gt;, as he’ll be a sophomore during the 2025 season. &lt;strong&gt;Jaden Rashada&lt;/strong&gt; is third. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Two freshmaan quarterbacks will be entering the school next season, as &lt;strong&gt;Ryan Montgomery and Hezekiah Millender&lt;/strong&gt; join the Dawgs, though it’s highly likely they will redshirt their first year in Athens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Big vote of confidence&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Bulldogs star defensive back &lt;strong&gt;Malaki Starks&lt;/strong&gt; decided declare for the 2025 NFL Draft leaving behind a remarkable stamp in the school for his sensational performances  during his three-year stay in Athens. Prior to walking away from the Dawgs, the projected first-round selection in the upcoming draft voiced a very powerful message to Stockton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Man, I’m honored to share a field with him. Gunner, &lt;strong&gt;I wouldn’t want anybody else to be my quarterback for today and tomorrow and the day after that&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Starks admitted, per&lt;em&gt; On3. “I think he showed the ability to play. A lot of people doubted him, said he wasn’t ready or whatever. But I think he showed a lot of people he can play, and &lt;strong&gt;I’m excited to see what comes for him&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When discussing the NBA’s history, names like &lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan&quot;&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Kareem Abdul&lt;/strong&gt;–&lt;strong&gt;Jabbar&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Wilt Chamberlain&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Kobe Bryant &lt;/strong&gt;often dominate the conversation. Yet, &lt;strong&gt;Dwyane Wade &lt;/strong&gt;has etched his name into the league’s storied past, particularly through his legendary career with the &lt;strong&gt;Miami Heat&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The shooting guard, known for his incredible on-court achievements, spent the majority of his career in Miami, where he cemented his status as one of the greatest players of all time. Wade’s illustrious career includes &lt;strong&gt;three NBA championships&lt;/strong&gt;, many of which came as part of the iconic &lt;em&gt;“Big Three&lt;/em&gt;” alongside LeBron James and &lt;strong&gt;Chris&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Bosh&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Later in his career, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dwyane-wade&quot;&gt;Wade&lt;/a&gt; fulfilled a lifelong dream of playing for his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls, before briefly reuniting with James on the Cleveland Cavaliers. In 2019, he retired as a Heat player, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Wade’s accolades include &lt;strong&gt;13 NBA All-Star selections&lt;/strong&gt;, the 2009 scoring title, the &lt;strong&gt;2006 Finals MVP award&lt;/strong&gt;, and holding the title of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat&quot;&gt;Miami Heat&lt;/a&gt;’s all-time leading scorer. In recognition of his impact, &lt;strong&gt;the Heat retired his No. 3 jersey&lt;/strong&gt; and unveiled a statue in his honor outside Kaseya Center in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;576&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250113_BUS_312657_dwyane-wade-1-1024x576_00615b66.webp&amp;amp;width=1024&amp;amp;height=576&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-312667&quot; srcset=&quot;https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/13175325/dwyane-wade-1.jpg 1920w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;A statue of Dwyane Wade, the first in Heat history outside of the Kaseya Center, was unveiled on October the 27th, honoring his “this is my house” celebration. (Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, long before that celebration, Wade made waves in 2022 with a controversial statement about &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; history. Speaking on the “&lt;em&gt;Armchair Expert&lt;/em&gt;” podcast, Wade suggested that future generations might one day overlook the greatness of Michael Jordan.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nba/michael-jordan-and-kobe-bryant-agree-on-the-toughest-player-theyve-ever-faced-in-the-nba&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I watch players play the game, and I’m like, ‘I thought I was good.’ They’re way better than me,”&lt;/em&gt; Wade said. &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;The game continues to keep moving forward, so we’re going to continue to see things we’ve never seen before”&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;He then directly addressed Jordan’s potential slide into obscurity among younger fans: “&lt;em&gt;We’re not going to be the ones having a conversation about the GOATs. Now, it’s going to be the younger generation, &lt;strong&gt;and they’re going to forget about Jordan the way we forget about Kareem”&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;For Wade, Jordan is still the greatest of all time&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite his controversial comments, &lt;strong&gt;Wade has always maintained that Michael Jordan is the greatest player in NBA history.&lt;/strong&gt; While Wade shared nearly a decade on the court with LeBron James, he credits Jordan as his ultimate inspiration for picking up a basketball.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;There was a moment when Jordan came in, &lt;strong&gt;and that’s the reason I played basketball,&lt;/strong&gt;” &lt;/em&gt;Wade said during the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. “&lt;em&gt;We’re in a hallway, the guards, we’re talking before we go out, and Mike creeps in. And Mike gave me some love, and every time, I don’t care. I was with the Jordan Brand”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Wade reflected on the honor of being linked to Jordan’s legacy: &lt;em&gt;“As a young kid growing up, wanting to be one of the greatest to play the game, I got the chance to put on that jacket &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and be next to my favorite player, the greatest to ever play&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt;” Wade concluded.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Wade’s perspective showcases a deep respect for Jordan’s impact while recognizing the inevitability of time and how the game’s evolution will shape future conversations about basketball’s greatest legends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It’s all about getting&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;one&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins&quot;&gt;Boston Bruins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; were on a losing slump, just needing one win to change the tune amid a tight race for the &lt;strong&gt;NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs&lt;/strong&gt;. After dropping six consecutive games, the Bruins finally caught a break after defeating the &lt;strong&gt;Florida Panthers&lt;/strong&gt; 4-3 in overtime. However, team captain &lt;strong&gt;Brad Marchand&lt;/strong&gt; is far from content and has sent interim coach &lt;strong&gt;Joe Sacco&lt;/strong&gt; a wake-up call.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Bruins haven’t been themselves lately. &lt;strong&gt;Captain &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand&quot;&gt;Marchand&lt;/a&gt; has been outspoken about the team’s shortcomings&lt;/strong&gt;, often commenting that the game plan has strayed from their defensive-minded approach, which had worked wonders for them.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt;‘s Eastern Conference is shaping up to be a battlefield, and the Bruins have let their head start slip away&lt;/strong&gt;. Once perched atop the standings with a commanding vantage point, Boston now finds itself back in the wildcard conversation. With far too many teams in the mix, &lt;strong&gt;the Bruins have little reason to feel secure.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The win over the Panthers was huge for the Bruins, though they barely escaped with two points. &lt;strong&gt;Goalie Jeremy Swayman kept Boston in the game all night long, stopping 40 shots,&lt;/strong&gt; while the Bruins shot less than 20 times at Sergei Bobrovsky. It’s a win, nevertheless, and Boston is very happy to secure it, but Marchand voiced a strong message, alerting interim coach Joe Sacco not to get complacent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;It’s a one-off. You don’t ever want to look at that and say that ‘We’re back’ type deal,&lt;/strong&gt;” &lt;/em&gt;Brad Marchand admitted, via&lt;em&gt; The Boston Herald. “We faced some adversity in that game that we got through. But &lt;strong&gt;it doesn’t mean that everything’s going to be right moving forward&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s always about building. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;You never want to get too high or too low&lt;/strong&gt;. One game isn’t going to change the season, one way or another. It was a great win for our group. It’s great to get back in the win column. &lt;strong&gt;But there are still areas to improve&lt;/strong&gt;. We didn’t have a great game but ultimately wins are what matters. &lt;strong&gt;Sometimes you lose those games that you deserved to win.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Sacco’s postgame statement&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Marchand and Sacco’s comments share some similarities and common themes. While Sacco expressed satisfaction with the win, the way the game played out raised doubts about the team, as they were outplayed. Still, a win is a win, and &lt;strong&gt;after losing six in a row&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;the Bruins will gladly take victories any way they come&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“[&lt;strong&gt;Swayman] was the difference in the game&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Boston interim coach Joe Sacco said postgame, via&lt;em&gt; NHL.com. “The goalie played very well and &lt;strong&gt;that’s what you need sometimes when you are going through the situation we are&lt;/strong&gt;. We had outstanding goaltending today, and that was the difference in the game.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While Sacco’s statement highlights Jeremy Swayman’s superb performance, &lt;strong&gt;it conveys a wake-up call to the team, as well&lt;/strong&gt;. Goaltending won’t always be able to bail the team’s shortcomings, and they must put on much better outings going forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Chance to reclaim third place&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Bruins will take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on January 14&lt;/strong&gt;. This meeting between the division rivals will have huge implications, as the winner will claim the third place in the Atlantic Division standings.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/top-greatest-rivalries-in-nhl-history&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;However, Tampa has played four fewer games than Boston, meaning the Bruins will need to get hot at the right time and hope the Lightning hit a slump. If not, &lt;strong&gt;the Bruins risk getting stuck in the chaotic wasteland of the wildcard race&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

NHL News: Bruins captain Brad Marchand drops sincere comment, alerting interim coach Joe Sacco - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/strong&gt; are ready to start their quest for yet another Super Bowl title after earning a well-deserved bye to the Divisional Round of the 2025 &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; playoffs. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid&quot;&gt;Andy Reid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, however, &lt;strong&gt;can’t ignore the buzz around his coaching staff&lt;/strong&gt;. With both offensive coordinator &lt;strong&gt;Matt Nagy&lt;/strong&gt; and defensive coordinator &lt;strong&gt;Steve Spagnuolo&lt;/strong&gt; getting interviews for head coach openings around the NFL, Reid faces losing key assistants at Arrowhead.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, the three-time Super Bowl champion &lt;strong&gt;made it clear that he won’t stand in their way&lt;/strong&gt;. Besides, Reid claimed that all the coordinators on the Chiefs’ coaching staff &lt;strong&gt;could perfectly lead&lt;/strong&gt; an &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; team.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You could take all of the coordinators there and put them right in that mix for sure&lt;/strong&gt;. Both of them are – offensive and defensive guys are phenomenal, (Assistant Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Dave) Toub does a great job,&lt;/em&gt;” Reid said at a press conference last week, via &lt;em&gt;Chiefs Wire&lt;/em&gt;. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I know the two names that normally come up are the offensive and defensive coordinators&lt;/strong&gt;. Both of those two are – warrant that, yeah, for sure.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Reid may lose key assistants with Nagy, Spagnuolo getting interviews for HC jobs&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Nagy was the first &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;‘ assistant to draw interest from another team in this year’s coaching cycle, &lt;strong&gt;with the New York Jets interviewing&lt;/strong&gt; Kansas City’s OC for their head coach vacancy on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;576&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250113_BUS_312612_Defensive-coordinator-Steve-Spagnuolo-talks-with-head-coach-Andy-Reid-in-a-practice-session-prior-to-1024x576_d26e9917.webp&amp;amp;width=1024&amp;amp;height=576&quot; alt=&quot;Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo talks with head coach Andy Reid in a practice session prior to Super Bowl LVII at Arizona State University Practice Facility on February 09, 2023 in Tempe, Arizona.

The Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023 at State Farm Stadium.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After firing Robert Saleh early in the 2024 NFL season, the Jets are now interviewing &lt;strong&gt;multiple candidates&lt;/strong&gt; to fill the position, which was covered on an interim basis by Jeff Ulbrich after Saleh’s exit.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-already-secure-two-players-for-andy-reid-for-the-2025-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        


&lt;p&gt;The Jets, in fact, have also interviewed Spagnuolo for the job, though the Chiefs DC &lt;strong&gt;got more offers&lt;/strong&gt;. Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars joined the queue for the 65-year-old.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Reid shows nothing but support for Nagy, Spagnuolo&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, if losing one of his top assistants would be tough for Reid, let alone to lose both of them. Still, the Chiefs head coach let Nagy and Spags know that &lt;strong&gt;he’d completely understand if they decide to become a HC elsewhere&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;You know this from what I’ve said before: &lt;strong&gt;I think both of them deserve an opportunity again to be head coaches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Reid said. “&lt;em&gt;They’re obviously getting some play here, so other people recognize that, too. We’ll just see where it goes. I know they’re focused on taking care of business now here and then looking at these other things this week, and then that stops after this week.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Both Spagnuolo and Nagy &lt;strong&gt;already boast experience as head coaches&lt;/strong&gt; in the NFL. While the former took charge of the Rams from 2009 to 2011 and served as the New York Giants interim HC in 2007, the latter was at the helm of the Chicago Bears from 2018 to 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2016 last season, the &lt;strong&gt;Indiana Fever&lt;/strong&gt; are looking to clinch their second ever championship this year. With &lt;strong&gt;Caitlin Clark&lt;/strong&gt; in her sophomore year, new head coach &lt;strong&gt;Stephanie White&lt;/strong&gt; and young talents such as &lt;strong&gt;Aliyah Boston &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Lexie Hull,&lt;/strong&gt; the Fever can take advantage of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/wnba&quot;&gt;WNBA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; free agency period to build an even stronger team.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, one of their priorities is to also convince &lt;strong&gt;Kelsey Mitchell, &lt;/strong&gt;who has been a key part of the organization, to stay. The guard is set to become an unrestricted free agent, but the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indiana-fever&quot;&gt;Fever&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have the chance to core her, and it’s expected that they will do so.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Kelsey Mitchell is our top priority heading into free agency,”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Fever GM Amber Cox said in November, according to IndyStar. &lt;em&gt;“She, in my mind, is a cornerstone of this franchise. She’s been here for seven seasons, and she has, you know, endured a lot, hasn’t won a lot, &lt;strong&gt;so I really want her here to enjoy what is to come.&lt;/strong&gt; She deserves that.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The core designation will give Fever exclusive negotiating rights in exchange for a one-year &lt;strong&gt;supermax salary,&lt;/strong&gt; which is around &lt;strong&gt;$249,000 for a one-year deal&lt;/strong&gt;. If they core her, they theoretically prevent her from talking with other teams, but they could give her permission to talk and still retain her, or even negotiate a&lt;strong&gt; sign-and-trade.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Per IndyStar, Fever new president Kelly Krauskopf is confident Mitchell will stay. &lt;em&gt;“I don’t think that there’s another team that she could go to that would maximize her skill set better. &lt;strong&gt;I mean, she had her best year in a backcourt with Caitlin Clark, and I think they were probably the most dynamic duo&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/em&gt;” she told the publication.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/wnba/fever-star-aliyah-boston-shares-insights-on-working-with-new-coaching-staff&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;What has Mitchell said about her future?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mitchell is currently playing overseas, but she has opened up about her plans for the free agency, indicating that she is willing to hear offers. Back in September, she said that she was going to do &lt;strong&gt;“what’s best”&lt;/strong&gt; for her.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“That is not hanging my hat on one team or another, but I think it’s specifically for me. I got to be selfish about that process,”&lt;/em&gt; she explained. However, she also said that, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Obviously, I’ve always had a home in Indy, so it could potentially be a home for me again.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mitchell and&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caitlin-clark&quot;&gt;Clark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; had a great chemistry during the past season, and their connection was key for the Fever. If the team can retain her, and take advantage of the WNBA free agency to sign&lt;strong&gt; forwards&lt;/strong&gt;, they can become one of the most threatening franchises of next season.&lt;/p&gt;
