In this episode of The Winsidr Show, we're joined by Eliav Gabay to turn our attention to the Phoenix Mercury as they look to build off a Finals run that came up just short last season. With a core group returning and an emphasis on continuity, we dig into what this version of the Mercury could look like with more time, chemistry, and clarity.From draft night decisions to free agency moves, we break down what changed—and just as importantly, what didn't. We get into the key additions, the departures that could matter, and which under-the-radar moves might shape the rotation more than expected.We also take a closer look at how last season's ending influences the approach this year, what internal growth could be the biggest X-factor, and where the pressure points lie heading into the season. Whether it's roster construction, player development, or big-picture expectations, we cover it all and give our early read on where the Mercury stand now.Join our newsletter: https://winsidr.com/newsletter/(Sound design by Mike Goodrick)Affiliate Links:Homage: https://homage.sjv.io/winsidr25BreakingT: http://breakingt.com/winsidrFanatics: http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/winsidr ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
