There was some talk earlier in this thread on how brutal the roster situation is in the league. The flip is the Fever can lose half a team - I forget exactly, but they are up to 5 or 6 players out for the year - and still manage to be competitive.  At least against the Sky. They can sign Sims, and she is a useful player almost instantly.

If the Nuggets lost say Jokic, Gordon, Braun, Jones, Strawther, and Hardaway - so roughly their best, 3rd and 5th starter + 3 useful bench players - they wouldn’t win another game or even be interesting. And the replacement player they would be signing would be somebody you hardly remembered from College who would average .8 pts a game if they even made it off the bench. Blake Hinson as an example….

Fever injuries  - Clark, Cunningham, Bibby, Colson, McDonald - did I miss anybody?
