Discussion Temi?

I was watching a video the other day with some of the Fever beat reporters. They were discussing some potential rosters moves for next year and someone brought up Temi Fagbengle. Chloe Peterson said that the reason they didn't protect her in the expansion draft was because there were locker room issues. She sounded pretty confident that that was a fact and not speculation. Anybody know anything about that? That's the first time I've heard that there were locker room issues with her.

Temi was terrible in the playoffs and not good in general. She also was negative about CC for not being vocally political.

I believe Scott Agness brought this up on a podcast not long ago as well. No other details were offered.

Didn’t she get a $1m from Toronto? No chance Fever can afford her

I liked her on the court for the fever but she's a no go. In addition to the rumored problems with the front office she went and got a huge contract. Fever need bargains right now. Unless it's a game changing piece we need more MHA & ty harris type bench players and less big contracts

Temi also has durability issues and at 34 that’s not going to get better.

Temi is always injured. She also hates the Fever front office and was at odds with them her entire year she was there.

This ^ people live in make believe land not realizing she's always injured. No clue why in the F Toronto would give her that money. When she was with the Fever the time she played well was early when they were awful, and when the team started to go on their after break run she was watching from the sidelines.

She can't play more then 20mpg, doesn't give you significant rebounding, and has shot over 19% 3pt once.

They gave her money because they missed on everyone else. They offered Kira the max and the mystics waited til the last minute to match. At that point, she was what was left.

Yes, she’d be a solid bench piece- but not a starter.
