Despite the Mystics’ decline, they have no incentive to tank due to trading their 2021 first round draft pick.

The Washington Mystics are on a collision course to be the worst team in the WNBA this season. I never thought in a million years that this team, even without Elena Delle Donne, Natasha Cloud, Tina Charles and LaToya Sanders would fall from defending champions to league chumps in a year.

But after another loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday, it’s evident that things aren’t working. The initial three-game winning streak was a tease — and the Mystics are who they are at this point: they are a team without a player willing to put the franchise on her back.
