Mel's thoughts- Liatu's comeback with a WNBA Team and happy birthday to Liatu King-10th February 2026

 Aloha and welcome to my personal blog via Blogspot everyone and if you are truthfully new here; aloha and welcome. 


Also, happy belated birthday to former men's volleyball player for both the University of Hawaii and UCLA whom his birthday is a few days ago from when I did posted it on today at a different time thus nevertheless I am going to truthfully wish him a really early 'Happy birthday' to former UH Men's volleyball player whom I even give him a nickname 'UH's king of volleyball aces' just as when I did remembered how he used to have such amazing volleyball service aces back during his days at the University of Hawaii as a sophomore outside hitter from Ewa Beach which is the western part of the island of Oahu; Hawaii so happy belated birthday to former UH (UH= University of Hawaii) and UCLA Outside hitter alumni Austin Matautia!


Plus all thoughts mentioned below are entirely based on my own thoughts alone therefore feel free to truthfully disagree with me all you want to on your own terms but on a serious note in general; just don't truthfully be an actual jerk as in the words: "Don't be an a**hole in general"; thank you very much.


Also, again: I am going to truthfully repeat my words just to make it obvious; you can either feel free to either agree or disagree or agree to disagree with me and my own opinions all you truthfully wanted to do on your oown terms but just don't be an actual a--hole in general that is both in person and online so thank you very much for taking the precious time to truthfully read this particular blog post and many of my personal blog posts on my personal blog here via Blogspot and also on my personal T*mblr blogs as well as my other online platforms on both Bl**Sky and X before I actually deleted my X account due to a number of personal reasons on why i did deleted my own X account. (Also; f*** both X and also f** El*n M*sk too as well as f*** T*sl* as well.)


Additional author's notes: Sending all of my unconditional and sincere well-wishes and prayers to Rickea Jackson a.k.a RJ who is the franchise player for the L.A Sparks and yes, I do truthfully wish her well in general.


Also, I'd think James Pearce Jr. whom he is her actual ex-boyfriend should stay away from RJ as I don't truthfully welcome or tolerate abusive relationships in general as a 29 year old woman whom she had experienced abuse with her very own birth family in her very own life unfortunately.



If you or someone whom you know are stuck in an abusive relationship then please immediately seek help from any available sources as immediately as you can thus abuse is not generally okay and it won't always be in general.


Also; your life is much more important than a toxic relationship where it is fulfilled with pain, hurt; sadness; anger; depression and thoughts of taking both your own life and others life as well.


Also; on a much lighter note: I am going to simply move on from there and put my focus on my wahine Liatu King as we are going to celebrate her birthday from there onwards.


Plus here are the teams that I do wanted to truthfully see her if she does have plans on a potential comeback by returning back to the WNBA if she does wishes to do it so despite all of the dramas; the chaos and also the dispute where the WNBA had to truthfully go through until this current month of February 2026 based on what are the news we had heard from them lately.


Plus also happy birthday to Liatu King too as well!

On a personal note; I am oddly craving for an iced coffee but maybe one from Zus Coffee where I only started jumping on the band wagon; Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves plus when I'm in Hawaii; definitely Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves or otherwise Island Vintage Coffee can be a good way to go too as well.


Oh and I am also doing this post at 1:00 a.m in the morning too as well where I am actually coming from by the way; no joke.


Anyway; let's get into it . . .


Disclaimers; All thoughts mentioned below are entirely based on my own thoughts alone plus pictures aren't mine and credits to Liatu King for all of the respective pictures on here.




 

I am not going to truthfully lie; I do truthfully love this particular t-shirt in this particular picture from Liatu King. In my own version: I would have gone for a pair of Bermuda denim shorts or otherwise a pair of men's surf shorts to definitely go with this the white t-shirt if she does truthfully go to Hawaii imaginatively to be honest especially the island of Oahu, Hawaii plus to add the New Era Oracle Red Bull dark blue flat brim cap I did found it in this particular month as as well as a comfortable pair of slippers or sandals to go with the outfit in my very own version of the outfit. 

 

On a serious yet an irrelevant note; sending my heartfelt; unconditional and sincere prayers and well-wishes to Rickea Jackson a.k.a after I recently heard what had happened between her and James whom he is an American football player whom he played for the Atlanta Hawks got into a dispute between the both of them.

Aslo, in other words: there are no room both abuse and domestic violence in general. Cedits goes to Rickea Jackson for the picture.

Also, credits goes to Rae Burrell and Liatu king for the picture as well as Angel City too as well.


The WNBA teams where I do wanted to see her returning back to them


-L.A Sparks

I know people would truthfully call me out for having to truthfully bring her back to the L.A Sparks as an obvious choice however just in case if you are truthfully wondering why do I truthfully choose L.A Sparks as the obvious choice; well, firstly; I do really think that both Reagan Peebly and Lynn Roberts does a wonderful job of recruiting Liatu as the 28th overall draft pick for the L.A Sparks back in the WNBA Draft pick 2025 where both Sarah Ashlee Barker whom she is a graduate from the University of Alabama and Sania Feagin whom she is the graduate player from the University of South Carolina are the first round and the second round draft picks respectively as Sarah is the first round draft pick and meanwhile Sania is the second round overall draft pick by the L.A Sparks Team while Liatu is the third round draft pick from the University of Notre Dame and also the University of Pittsburgh where she had spend her time for about four years there just before she had transferred to Notre Dame for her final year of eligibility as a graduate student to do it so where she had been named as 'Notre Dame's X Factor' by CBS Sports Network during her and only graduate year at the University of Notre Dame.


Plus apart from the way I had typed about how she had been treated really differently during her time with L.A Sparks as both a player whom she had been the 28th draft pick overall by the same L.A Sparks team back in the 2025 WNBA Draft Pick event as again, the 28th overall draft pick in addition to being  a 'hardship emergency type of player' where they did truthfully signed her after both the general manager of the L.A Sparks Reagan Peebly and the official head coach Lynn Robert had found out the team does have not one; not two; not three but four players being injured during the time on how Cameron Brick is sidelined with an ACL injury; Rae has a leg injury and the Julie was questionable with her own injury and then meanwhile you got Rickea Jackson a.k.a RJ whom unfortunately she got an injury too on a concussion after a collision between her and Alanna Smith during a Minnesota Lynx vs the L.A Sparks game at the second half of the game; then this is where the L.A Sparks especially both Reagan and Lynn had to search for a 'hardship emergency player' whom she can truthfully take place of an emergency hardship player then this is where they did instantly remembered Liatu King whom they had picked her up as the 28th overall draft pick by the L.A Sparks team however despite how they did think she does have the potential to definitely make the team roster for the L.A Sparks; unfortunately due to the limited team roster spots on how there are only twelve spots on all of the 13 active teams; unfortunately they had to truthfully take a risk to definitely waive her off however by the time when they did truthfully found out they had four injured players on their team rosters and 8 healthy remaining players left then this is where they decided to brought back Liatu King altogether not only due to the injured 4 players they did have to truthfully face but also during the training camp as well as at the pre-game on the Golden State Valkyries vs the L.A Sparks then this is where they did truthfully noticed there is something that they had an actual reason why did they choose her in the very first place as the 28th overall draft pick in addition to also how they did felt as when she does fits well with what exactly do they have on their own mind to truthfully have another player whom she can basically fit in with the L.A Sparks team therefore this is where Liatu does actually came into the picture and I do really have to admit yet I am not going to truthfully lie; I do truthfully miss Liatu so badly to the point where on a personal note; I did actually think she does truthfully suits well for the L.A Sparks just as when I did have a thought about why she had gotten the 28th draft pick in the very first place by the L.A Sparks from the 2025 WNBA Draft pick in addition to why she was brought back too to the L.A Sparks team as an 'emergency hardship player' before she had gotten released by the L.A Sparks.


In other words; I also noticed how she also was treated much more better and tolerably by the L.A Sparks too as well versus in the comparison to the Dallas Wings where they only treated her as nothing but a 'test player' whom they only claimed her as a 'waivers claim' type of player before they did released her and brought back Haley Jones [Also, no offense to both Haley Jones and everyone else in general that is thus I am not truthfully trying to offend anyone or anybody in general but if you did then I am very sorry for having to truthfully offend you in every steps of the way in general just as I would like to sincerely apologize to you if you did truthfully felt offended thus no, I am not here to either offend anyone or anybody in any steps of the way by tearing them off nor I am typing out the part where Haley shouldn't be brought back to the team thus honestly; don't get me wrong; I mean both Liatu King and Haley Jones are really good players in their very own type of way however it doesn't mean you have to tear one of them down for having to take away the original spot from one of them or to even send both hate and disrespect towards the both of them and vice versa. Instead: I'd think we should give the both of them their own flowers for their contributions to their respective teams however if you didn't have anything to say then why would you want to say out loud? I mean no offense [Again] to everyone in general but I'd think we might want to be careful based on what exactly we are truthfully saying; typing and even writing too as well thus you may never know; once you did said out loud or you did wrote it out or typed it out of nowhere then suddenly; people would instantly react to it out of nowhere and that's when you knew that you had said something you would regretted it later on in addition to also how you'll definitely delete the post where you did typed something inexcusable out of nowhere instantly.] To the D*ll*s W*ngs Team however I do really have to admit; I do truthfully think I would rather have a team just like the L.A Sparks team where at least they treated both decently in a tolerable manner towards her versus in the comparison to the D*ll*s W*ngs where they did truthfully treated her as nothing but as a 'test player' if you did truthfully asked me all about it. 


However when it comes to the whole D*ll*s W*ngs Team; I am going to talk about that in the lower tier of 'teams where I want Liatu to stay away from them' as I know; although D*ll*s W*ngs had only claimed her as a 'waivers claim' type of player however I do truthfully think they are claiming her as a (Again) 'test' player definitely more so than having to treat her as an actual player.


All in all; if I do have to either choose L.A Sparks or D*ll*s W*ngs; I'll choose a team where at least they treated her decently in a genuinely decent type of manner more so than having to choose a team where they only wanted to claim you as 'waivers claim' type of player yet they only claim you as a 'test player'; sorry not sorry.


Plus on a different note; for the shorter version: I would say the benefits of her returning to the L.A Sparks are both the familiarity on how she had been drafted as the 28th draft pick overall by the L.A Sparks as well as having to be brought back as an 'emergency hardship' type of player however the only concern and disadvantages are her getting a permanent team roster spot on there as well as having to re-build the relationship between her and the whole of the L.A Sparks Team however I do truthfully think this is one of those teams which does feels more of an 'easy' and 'instant' choice of bringing her back to a WNBA Team since the WNBA can merciless at times in general therefore if this isn't all about the horrible and stupid drama we have to truthfully went through with the WNBA as well as with all craziness all of the C**tl*n Cl*rk mania as well as hearing C**tl*n's name all over the public yet they also kept saying the excuses; the nonsense and also the same old comments where they did sang the same old song about how they only got into the WNBA only because of C**tl*n Cl*rk and C**tl*n Cl*rk only; ugh.


On a much lighter yet a biased plus a personal note; if there is a WNBA team I would instantly put my trust in both them and it to definitely bring back Liatu King in just an instant heartbeat instantly as well as not to be truthfully overshadowed by the stupid; crazy and also the significantly exhausting and draining drama on the CBA politics as well as expanding all 15 of the active team rosters including both the Portland Fires and the Toronto Tempos in addition to the future teams on Cleveland; Detroit and Philadelphia from just 12 team roster spots to about 15 permanent team roster spots as the mandatory minimum permanent team roster spots to about 20 on the maximum number of the mandatory team roster spots on all 15 active of the WNBA active teams *if again, this isn't for the crazy WNBA dramas on the whole of the CBA dramas scattering all over the place; then I would have instantly put my level of instant trust towards the L.A Sparks mostly because of reason number 1 or firstly; how she had been drafted by the L.A Sparks as the 28th Draft pick overall instantly; secondly; they brought her back for the hardship 'emergency' contract after being waived off due to the limited team roster spots [To the WNBA: please do better and please take actions immediately before it had gotten even more scarier.]; Thirdly, when I did truthfully checked her Wikipedia page; she also does played at about 12 games in total with the L.A Sparks during her time when she was signed to a hardship contract with the L.A Sparks and last but not very least: just as what I had said it before but I am going to truthfully say it again: at least the L.A Sparks does treated her in a genuinely decent type of manner versus in the comparison to the way the D*ll*s W*ngs where they only claimed her as a 'Test player' if you did truthfully ask me all about it.


(*Author's note: Again; I am going to truthfully repeating the words I am typing it out on here to be honest just to make sure that the readers does truthfully get the message especially those who are truthfully wondering about what is the whole WNBA political CBA drama is truthfully all about however because I didn't know much details all about it except for the part where there are players whom they did wanted more steps of improvements as well as having an equal p*ym*nts to all of the players for all of the different yet the active teams in general; thus you may wanted to check my Bl**Sky for more details as yes, I do 'repost' posts from other people all about the WNBA over there.) 


-Washington Mystics


This is a team where I can instantly see her being there very ever since she does hails from Washington DC as well as how she could have a reunion with her former Notre Dame Team mate Sonia Citron whom she (Sonia a.k.a Soni) had been named as one of the 2025 ROY along with Kiki Irafen too as well perhaps however although it can get really tricky especially with Lucy Olsen is with the Washington Mystics Team Roster as well as getting a 'permanent team roster spot' with a team just like the Washington Mystics too as well ever since the Mystics team does have a number of players whom they had their own strengths where they can keep on doing basketball skill wise and weaknesses where they do needed the room for improvement however I do truthfully think another benefit of her with the Washington Mystics is where she does reunite with her former Bishop McNamara class mate and school mate plus close friend of hers whom she too does the styling just for her too as well; Madison Scott.


All in all, it might be tricky for her to get a permanent team roster spot with the Washington Mystics especially when you already have players whom they had given their contributions and their all to the team however there might be benefits except I am feeling uncertain about whether it can either translate into an opportunity where she can truthfully remembered or an experience to truthfully be forgotten and to be left behind.


-Portland Roses or Toronto Tempos


Although I am feeling uncertain about both thoughts on when the expansion draft is going to truthfully happen plus also whether either one of the two new teams are going to pick her up or not however I do really have to admit; I may have to keep my prayers towards both of the team based on which one of the two new teams are going to pick up Liatu King that's for sure.


Also, give her all of your own flowers while she is truthfully alive plus she is playing basketball too as well no matter where she is in the world that is.


Teams where I am feeling uncertain but either a hit or a miss for them


-Golden State Valkyries (Spoiler team in my own version and opinion of Liatu's comeback)


This is one of those teams where it does fell more so in the trickier tiers but I could truthfully imagined that there are certain people whom they did wanted her to go to the Golden State Valkyries but that might be a really tricky one however I also think this is one of those teams where perhaps they could also take her in but again, more so as a 'hardship contract' type of player however if they did kept her on the team by retaining her on the one of the permanent team roster spot: I guess that is going to be both an unexpected surprise and a spoiler from a team like Golden State Valkyries where they had decided to pick her up but if they decided to truthfully kept her on one of the team roster spot then we may consider it to be a 'surprise'; I guess.



-Minnesota Lynx

Ouch, this one is either a hit or a miss for me thus honestly; Minnesota is one of those teams where I do really think they'll only pick her up as an emergency hardship type of player but unlike both Reagan and Lynn whom I can truthfully put all of my trust into them; for a head coach like Cheryl Reeves; I'll have to see the physical evidence on whether would she take Liatu in or not thus Minnesota Lynx is a team where i did felt as if they are more of a 'a hit or a miss team' more so than a team where I can instantly put my trust into a team just like the 'L.A Sparks' where i can instantly put my trust into both Lynn and Reagan whom the both of them are doing their respective jobs as a head coach and also as a general manager of the L.A Sparks team; honestly; I do really think Minnesota Lynx is a team where it does feels tricky for me to truthfully see her [Liatu] fitting into this team; again--just the same with Golden State Valkyries; tricky way too tricky but perhaps might be a team where she'll make it but not one where I can instantly put my level of genuine trust in them.


-New York Liberty

Again, another tricky team to be placing her in; I'm sorry but . . . honestly; again with Minnesota Lynx; this is going to be a 'hit or a miss' type of team thus I am feeling uncertain about how she is going to fit in there thus in my own opinion; it does feels as when I am trying to figure out the answer while answering a really tough question on a Hawaii history question just as when someone ask me a really complex question about Hawaii history where I'll surely flop on this one.


All jokes aside; seeing her with the New York Liberty might be really tricky but I'll need the physical evidence on this one; sorry, everyone.


-Phoenix Mercury

Oh my goodness; another tricky team again: honestly; again; this one I might need physical evidence to win me over instantly to either she fit in with the team plus making it to the permanent team roster however is she couldn't then it is their loss thus honestly: I honestly only think this is another team where they'll only pick her up as a 'hardship contract' player but this one; we'll have to see how far does it go. (Just don't start singing 'How far I'll go' from the Moana movie though on a personal yet a serious note.)


-Seattle Storm

Oh, this is one is also going to be a tricky one because I do really think it might be tough to put her into a team just as when I did have the thought of how she is going to fit in with the Seattle Storm? I mean I know Skylar Diggins is now playing with the Seattle Storm however this one is going to be a super tricky one if you did ask me all about it however again; this is a 'hit or miss' type of team for me if you did truthfully ask me all about it; everyone.


-Connecticut Sun

One of the most underrated WNBA team where you do have the players of those names of Aneesah Morrow and Saniya Rivers whom they both are the players whom they are the force to be reckon with for many of the women's basketball players however people didn't realized how Connecticut Sun is one of those teams where they do have to the potential to be the force to be reckon with for everyone however the saddest if not one of the worst part was that there are potential concerns about Connecticut Sun is a team where sadly it would no longer be in the league by the year of 2027 allegedly since I had heard somewhere they do have plans to definitely bring back the Houston Comets however I am feeling extremely angry about why would they want to demolish Connecticut Sun in order to bring back the Houston Comets? I mean don't truthfully get me wrong and all; I am neutral when it comes to both of the respective teams but having to convert from a team like Connecticut Sun to a different team like the Houston Comet in the year of 2027; it is truthfully ridiculous in my own opinion.


Thus why not bring back both teams instead??? Thus honestly; why not we keep Connecticut Sun for the 'true' and die hard stan fans of the Connecticut Sun fans and meanwhile bring back Houston Comets for those who wanted to bring back Houston Comets into the WNBA League separately more so than having to demolish Connecticut Sun team and bringing back the Houston Comet team; disrespectful.


On a really different note; this is a really tricky team for me to even think about whether Liatu is either going to make it into the team or otherwise she would have been waived off unfortunately so again; this is definitely a hit or a miss if you truthfully asked me all about it on Liatu in a really different team.


-Atlanta Dream


Oh my goodness; another team where it does actually feels way too tricky as well thus I am so sorry if I am truthfully making you feeling perplexed and shocked yet judgmental too as well since I do really have to admit; I am not going to truthfully lie in general; with how Liatu is one of those players whom I do really think she might be in a really tricky spot on whether she is going to make a team roster or not ever since i do have a high amount of reservations towards the other teams except for the L.A Sparks where although I did truthfully still have my reservations towards except the only difference is that I do give the L.A Sparks Team a 'special pass' mostly for the reason that at least they had treated her well despite waiving her off twice however I am not going to truthfully put any blame towards Liatu for not  wanting to making the return to the L.A Sparks team thus who knows, maybe she might either want to join a different team? Or perhaps following the Kylee Shook path where she mainly focus more on the international women's basketball league? Or would she perfers to trade it for a normal mundane job? Thus I don't truthfully blame her at all based on what does she really wanted to do in her very own life that is. 


Anyway, moving onto there; I do think Atlanta Dream is one of those team where i do really think this is an actual hit or miss type of team thus I am not too sure whether she is going to be a good fit or not but again, I would like the physical evidence; please.


Teams I wanted them to stay away from her (Liatu King)


-Indiana Fever

Ugh, the villainous team with the overrated golden player of the WNBA team where it does feels when she does makes truthfully think of how L*nd* N*rr*s is the same too as well with Mclaren and also F1 as well as S*ph** C*nn*ngh*m whom I wanted her to stay away from Liatu King thus honestly, ugh;  imagining her playing with S*ph** C*nn*ngh*m, L*x** H*ll and the 'golden player of the team and the league' C**tl*n Cl*rk does actually gives me the icks; no thank you. (A'ole too as well--pronounced as 'Ah-oh-lay'.)


-Chicago Sky

If you are both a 'true' and a die hard stan fan of Chicago Sky, I'm sorry but I would have to definitely say 'No' on this one because one, the Chicago Sky does urgently needed help for sure, two; this is one of those team I wanted them to truthfully stay away from Liatu herself thus what is the point of getting her into this particular team? It's just . . . I'm sorry; it is an instant 'no' if you ask me about her going to the Chicago Sky.


-Las Vegas Aces

Why should I even bother; this is a team where I do wanted to steer clear of Liatu due to how this does feels way too much of a villainous team thanks to A'ja Wilson herself; unfortunately; not a team where I can instantly see her in this particular team of the Las Vegas Aces where it does feels villainous that is in my own opinion.


-Dallas Wings


Ugh, a team that treats her like a 'test player'; nothing to say though by the way. The only benefit I would say is that I am happy that Aziaha James and Liatu King does get to put all differences aside and honestly; I don't really have anything to truthfully say.


No, just no.


Anyway, this is my very own post on who do I really wanted to see Liatu making a 'comeback' with the WNBA team however because it is truthfully getting late from where I am truthfully at to be honest plus also, please don't expect that I am going to truthfully post a brand new post every day on here unless if I wanted to do so . . . thus I am so sorry about that and also happy birthday to Liatu King too as well altogether!


May she sparkle and shine in her very own lane as a 24 year old basketball from the Washington DC.


Also, I'll see you all on the other side.
