And don't use AI to do any editing; writing or feed it to an AI feed to do anything with any of my personal blog posts on all of the online platforms where I am currently online at there; everyone.
Also, I do wanted to truthfully wish Liatu well in general no matter where she is going in her very own life and whatever endeavors she is currently pursuing; everyone.
Plus, the post evidence and all of the non AI pictures aren't mine: I don't own it and credits goes to JD Alsobrook for the original posts via Bl**Sky as well as Minnesota Lynx for their "Thank you Tu" post as well online.
Anyway, let's get into it; everyone.
*Liatu= Pronounced as "Lee-Uh=Too"
My other online platforms
Wikipedia page on WNBL-Australia
Bad news, Liatu had been waived off by the Minnesota Lynx so soon after she had gotten an upgrade from a developmental player contract to a "normal"/ "Standard" player contract from a just a few days ago then suddenly when she had gotten waived off for the fifth/ 5th time in a row and I am starting to became really pissed off with the way the WNBA had enabled the "Mid-cut" season and honestly; I really truthfully don't want to possibly think about how the WNBA would be treating the countless players in general as honestly; it's like they simply don't really want care about the more talented players and would rather focus on the more popular players which makes me feeling so sad for Liatu herself as she is one of the those players whom she is an underrated and an equally under-appreciated player whom she didn't truthfully get any love from the fans themselves unless if they only did discovered her through the Notre Dame Women's Basketball team days where she did played there as a graduate transfer with an extra 5th year of eligibility left on the table just for her which it is common for everyone to discover Liatu through her Notre Dame University Women's Basketball days where she played there as a graduate forward basketball player under the head coach of Niele Ivey and this is where she did played with the players of Olivia Miles; Sonia Citron: Hannah Hildago [Obviously] and everyone else too as well to be honest and I know I didn't meant to truthfully sound disrespectful as when I am actually typing out this particular post on my personal blog here however because I am already feeling so unexpectedly distressed yet feeling truthfully upset about how she had gotten waived for the 5th time in a row which I do truthfully hated it the most and honestly; the way the WNBA had been treating Liatu was so merciless to the point where it made me not wanting to possibly give any more support to the WNBA unless if they can either extend the permanent team rosters from 14 if we are including the 2 developmental team roster spots to about 15 to 18 permanent team roster spots as a mandatory team roster spots for all 15 WNBA teams in total and also give the additional 2 to 4 emergency team roster spots for them to be fulfilled as a hardship type of player spot to make sure they can actually take place of the injured players until when they are truthfully recovered from usually a really serious injury and who knows, they can always give them a developmental team roster spot until they can truthfully be confident enough to play at the WNBA level where if they are becoming truthfully confident not as an overnight instant change to be honest just as when I am truthfully typing this particular blog post but rather; more so as when they did slowly but surely build their own level of confidence up in the way they had played their basketball skills as well as letting their own confidence grow slowly but surely then this is where they'll definitely get a "normal"/ "standard" player contract from any of the 15 WNBA active teams in total and speaking of the WNBA and also the developmental player contracts; I really don't truthfully want to truthfully sounded negative in general as well as sounding pessimistic at the same time however with how I am becoming genuinely less and less faithful in the WNBA and all of the 15 WNBA teams [16 if you wanted to count Houston in there to be honest] .
But I truthfully don't want to even think about how there is another active team in the WNBA to pick up Liatu as a "Another developmental player" altogether ever since it does feels really frustrating to even think about how she'll get the chance to shine in the WNBA and all thus if the WNBA wanted to pick her up; unfortunately it is very unlikely to let it happen to her instantly unless if she is around a very old age where it might be too risky [Both physically and biologically age wise] for her to play in the WNBA and also playing any sports in general to be honest and honestly; I truthfully don't think I really want the WNBA to pick Liatu up anymore as I am truthfully feeling as when I am not having any more level of the genuine faith into the WNBA ever since I did felt as the only time when they wanted to pick her up is when she got really old biologically and also physically age wise where it might be too dangerous for her to take a risk on playing any general sports in general where unfortunately what if an accident could have happened to Liatu King out of nowhere??
Also, sorry: I was feeling genuinely distressed when I did this actual blog post earlier yesterday on Wednesday when I did first got the news about Liatu's waiving from the Minnesota Lynx.
Plus a big "Screw you" to all of the WNBA Teams and also the WNBA League in general too as well from there onwards as well dejectedly; I am genuinely so sorry about that; everyone.
Ugh, no offense to everyone whom they reading this particular blog post in general but i do really have to truthfully admit yet I am not going to truthfully lie to you all in general thus honestly; as someone whom they had been an actual Liatu King fan for some period of time to be honest then I would say then this is where I really possibly think I may have to consider that the WNBA will be out of the running for good however in my own opinion; this is where there are the remaining available options where if she did wanted to continue playing basketball then here are the only options I can only truthfully think of it here:
-Eurobasket league
I know this isn't an option where Liatu may be wanted to continue playing basketball however if she did wanted to do it so by playing overseas in general then I would say the best option for her to do it so is by playing overseas in Europe thus honestly, it might be really different to playing in an American Women's basketball League [Think both WNBA and also the Upshot League where I'll get into a deep dive on the Upshot League with my own thoughts alone; everyone so don't worry: hold onto your surfboards: okay? Thus we are going to ride on a Haleiwa Winter Wave type of surf ride everyone where it is going to be a "Wild ride" just as when we are talking about how it is going to be a "Wild ride" just as when I am making a reference to Bratz's "Life's a wild ride- Pamper Petz version" just as when we are riding on a really fast Aulani water slide ride where you better be careful not to get a concussion just as when Liatu had lost her own footing and balance at the JMU vs Notre Dame Women's Basketball Team Game just halfway through the game at the 4th quarter where she did lost her footing and her own balance just at the beginning of the 4th quarter of the JMU vs Notre Dame Women's Basketball Game and she did have to leave the game shortly just after she had hit the floor just as when she lost both her balance and her footing before she hit the floor where she got a concussion after losing her balance and also her footing too as well as subsequently hitting the floor too as well to be honest and then shortly after that; she did have to truthfully leave the game due to how she had subsequently hit the floor after losing her own balance and her own footing at just the beginning of the 4th quarter of the JMU vs Notre Dame Women's Basketball game. Also, again; if anyone wants my own thoughts then please hold on tight to your own surfboards: everyone thus we are going to prepare ourselves for both a North Shore Winter Surf ride and also a fast [Not too fast otherwise someone might be feeling dizzy as well as getting a headache and also if anyone does watches it visually online or offline if you are genuinely "lucky" to completely download it for free as a MP4 full-on video file format where you can completely watch it offline then consider yourself to be genuinely "Lucky"!] Disney Aulani Resort water Slide ride combined altogether then this is where you are going to hold on tight to your very own respective surfboards; everyone! Especially if you actually do want to simply skip it to the UpShot League on my own takes; thoughts; opinions and views.]
Thus I know playing in the Eurobasket league isn't the same as playing back in the USA with the comfort and the safety net of the WNBA and Upshot league [Plus Unrivaled too as well as Athletics Unlimited] where they are forced to be away from the comfort of their own home altogether as well as having to stay there during the off season months yet they are also forced to experience the homesick feeling too as well to be honest [Ideally in the winter-spring season to be honest however if this is Australia or New Zealand then it might be reversed to be honest] However I do truthfully think there benefits of how playing overseas can also have benefits such as opening the mind and becoming more open-minded to a new country, traveling and learning more about the other cultures from both other people and also traveling to a brand new country and who knows; you could possibly explore a whole new world too while having to truthfully play overseas too as well to be honest.
Also, I want either Liatu to play with the Perfumeria Avenidas if they picked her up or otherwise then maybe back to a very familiar Women's Basketball League which is the TKBL where she used to played there for one season.
-TKBL {Turkish Women's Basketball League}
This one does have a similarities to playing overseas however you get to stay in Turkey as I do truthfully think this is a very familiar league where she can truthfully return back there if she wanted to go back to Turkey to play back there however again, it does came with the homesickness feeling she did have to truthfully experience it just as when she is playing at any overseas basketball league no matter where we are actually referring to it except I know there are also going to be benefits of how she can become more open-minded by learning something new while she is traveling overseas as the benefit of playing an oversea basketball league as well as improving her own basketball skills too as well.
Plus it is a very familiar ground too as well since she used to play at Turkey overseas for one season with a Division 2 TKBL team called the Mersin Gençlerbirligi Team where she had averaged 23.0 points on 52.4 shooting from the floor plus 14.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists; 2.4 steals and 1.7 blocks per game in 22 contests while she is playing with the Mersin Gençlerbirligi team during the off-season from last year of 2025 and I might assumed she might be returning back there if they allowed her to do it so or if they wanted to pick her up for the TKBL again.
-WJBL [Women's Japanese Basketball League]
As again, this is one of those international leagues she had to go to overseas which it can be tough at certain times where she would experience homesickness as a disadvantage however I do truthfully think playing in Japan might also adds the benefit into Liatu's basketball resume since WJBL is the one where I had highly spoke about it for a very long time and honestly; seeing Liatu playing basketball in Japan is one of those options I did have mentioned it at a certain amount of times whenever I do it so and yes, I do really wanted to see Liatu playing at WJBL if she gets the one chance to do it so; everyone.
Also for teams; I am usually very neutral when it comes to the WJBL just as long as Liatu is having a great time in japan and playing well in the WJBL while staying healthy at the same time yet to open minded then this is where I am going to ask people to give any updates on her playing in the WJBL.
Full length games for WJBL will be tougher to find it online versus the comparison to the Notre dame 2024-25 Women's Basketball team online as well as the TKBL and the Eurobasket League Women's basketball games however . . . there will be highlights so watch out for that; everyone.
-WNBL [Women's National Basketball League- Australia]
Another international league where again, homesickness on one side of the coin and on the other side; becoming more open minded while learning something new while she is truthfully playing at an overseas league however to be honest; I didn't have much thoughts about Liatu playing at the WNBL since it doesn't excite me too much unfortunately however if she is going to be at there for her basketball career then I'll only follow her there if she is truly going there to be honest; everyone.
For teams; neutral about it however . . . I'll only follow them if she is going to play there if they are picking her up for the WNBL but otherwise nothing much to say about my own thoughts about Liatu playing at the WNBL; sorry.
And yes, there is a WBB League in New Zealand however I am not so sure what is the actual name so feel free to help me out by dropping me a message via my ask box via my T*mblr main blog; everyone or my back-up blog if you wished to do it so without any pressure; everyone.
And now we got to the two USA basketball league where everyone is going to truthfully be cheering on except for me since I know everyone has been so impatient for me to type it all out so fine; here we go then; firstly, here are the available options left: [Oh boy, I am going to get "Called out" for being an unhappy and a grumpy camper for how I am not the biggest fan of the Upshot Women's Basketball League]
-Upshot Women's Basketball League
A new 5x5 Women's Basketball League as a league where people can say it is one of the best options to either something like the WNBA or the Project B WBB league which it is an up and coming women's basketball league by next year however I do truthfully think there are more people whom they are more enthusiastic and happy about the UpShot Women's basketball league apart from it is a 5x5 women's basketball league and I know there are certain people who loves calling it the "WNBA G League" which i would highly agree to disagree with it to be honest as to me it doesn't feel like the WNBA version of the G League at all since it does feels more of an independent Women's Basketball League but not in a way where it does truthfully make me feeling truthfully excited and enthusiastic all about it since it doesn't feel the same way as the WNBA in my own opinion but unlike the WNBA where so many people had confirmed it every now and then [Especially on Bl**Sky] it does feels much more exciting as an independent 5x5 Women's Basketball League as well as how it can be an "Alternative" to the WNBA League where unlike the WNBA; I knew so many people would said it does feels like a friendlier version of the WNBA league for so many people and players alike where there are names of Reigan Richardson, Deja Kelly; Harmoni Turner: Shyanne Sellers and so on and so forth to be truthfully playing at there as freely as possible while getting another chance at playing at a 5x5 Women's Basketball League except unlike the WNBA where it does tend to be really merciless at certain times; meanwhile many would highly spoke about the UpShot Women's Basketball League as the "Gentler sister of the Women's Basketball League" as the counterpart in the comparison to the WNBA where the WNBA is more of the professional and the more "Stern sister of the Women's Basketball League" in the USA Women's Basketball League as well as how UpShot is like the Women's Basketball League where it'll give comfort to the players by giving them another opportunity to play basketball while getting the chance to stay in the USA as well as experiencing both the comfort and the safety net of the benefits where they can to see their own families and friends plus partners and also their loved ones including their pets too without forcing themselves to leave the USA as well as experiencing the homesick feeling they did have to experience it while they are playing at an overseas WBB league in addition to also getting their flowers in the WBB league while they are both breathing and living alive at the same time in their very own lives.
Also, speaking of benefits: I had heard so many people had said they are also feeling sincerely happy too as well about how the UpShot League is also available to completely watch it online on YouTube for a completely free watch all season long online therefore they didn't have to truthfully experience the same experience they did it with the WNBA however I am not exactly the biggest fan of the commentators of how they would said "You're listening to the Upshot league" on the breaks since I did felt as it would had applied to surf competitions in the island of Hawaii by the WSL in my own opinion however because both the WSL and also the Upshot league are very different leagues and represent different sports as WSL represents competitive surfing and Upshot League does represent Women's Basketball on the other hand to be honest; then I guess it is all just me and my own thoughts on how I did felt iffy about how they would said "You're listening to the Upshot League" just as when I did felt as when I am listening to Lite FM in my own opinion that is as well as using Safari Browser as my go to browser of any available entertainment source. (*Cringes*)
Plus on a personal and a critical note: I do use Mozilla based browser with extensions being installed online to there as well, everyone. [Both Waterfox and Firefox that is]
-Athletics Unlimited Women's Basketball League
This is one of those leagues I would have tuned in if she is playing at there during the off season however because I am feeling uncertain about whether do they truthfully continue upload their WBB matches to YT online just as the same as the Upshot WBB League as what I had mentioned it earlier but if she is playing in there then I'll tune into the highlights anyway.
Also, I am feeling uncertain about whether you can truthfully find the full-length games online just the same as with UpShot League however you may have to truthfully experience loads of missing games from the Athletics Unlimited WBB League; everyone especially if you watch it from YT really heavily on ons side; everyone.
Plus what if none of them are an option for Liatu King herself?
Well, stay tuned for part 2 of the Mel TMI post I am going to truthfully post it all on here; everyone.
