Sophie Cunningham isn't afraid to speak her mind, but her comments around WNBA expansion markets drew criticism last week. She clarified what she meant.

Those comments, unsurprisingly, got picked apart, with the cities of Cleveland and Detroit responding, WNBA fans quickly reminding Cunningham of the history of the WNBA in those cities, and many pointing out the hypocrisy of complaints about Detroit and Cleveland from a player in Indianapolis.

Following news of the league's expansion plans, Cunningham threw shade at Cleveland and Detroit in particular, calling them cities that fans may not be that excited about when it comes to growing women's basketball. Cunningham instead named Miami, Nashville and Kansas City as her preferred pick of cities with "amazing opportunity."

While in the eyes of most, it's a sign that the Fever, who had a major roster overhaul this offseason, are getting used to playing with one another. However, in the eyes of former Orlando Miracle coach Carolyn Peck, who had a 44-52 record during her tenure, it appears to be a sign that the Fever are better off without Clark.
