2022 WNBA Free Agency is right around the corner and that means it’s time for the second annual Her Hoop Stats Mock Free Agency Podcast. If you didn’t listen last year, we simulate the offseason transactions by taking on the roles of the general managers around the league as well as the players in the form of an all-powerful player agent.
You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or however you find podcasts. Part 1 is out today and includes our negotiations for Jewell Loyd, Tina Charles, Courtney Vandersloot, Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart, and more.
