On Tuesday, Leslie appeared as a guest on the "We Need to Talk" show, where she provided her analysis of the Storm's 95-75 loss against the Fever. Leslie was all praises for Seattle but criticized their efforts in the rebounding department. The Fever outrebounded the Storm 42-21.

She attributed the Storm's loss to their lack of effort in going after the second ball. She called out Seattle's coach, Noelle Quinn, on the team's rebounding issues and later joked about joining the franchise on a 10-day contract.

"No rebounds, No rings. If you wanna get some rings and some championships. ... Come on coach!" Leslie said. "I might be able to do a 10-day contract, I can get you more rebounds."

The Seattle Storm are in a battle to secure a playoff spot late in the season. They hold eighth place in the standings with a 20-19 record. With only five games left on their schedule, Seattle needs to stack as many wins as they can to ensure their spot in the playoffs.

So taking up Lisa Leslie on her offer might not be the worst thing the franchise can do, especially if the WNBA legend can help them secure more wins.
