Nothing wrong with that! The Aces built more of their superteam just through the draft with Kelsey Plum, A'ja Wilson, and Jackie Young. Not too different from the Storm with Bird, Loyd, and Stewart. If the Liberty win the championship this season, it will feel a bit like they purchased the title.
Great article, Jeff. I appreciate all the new quotes from different players. The Storm fooled me by cutting Theresa Plaisance even though I had suggested that they consider doing that about a week or 10 days ago, mostly because, despite her 6'5" stature, she doesn't really like to stay in the low post. She keeps wandering out to the 3-point line to throw up triples, which wasn't what I thought the Storm needed from her.
I thought that the last cut would come down to Kaila Charles, Arella Guirantes, or Ivana Dojkic. But I'm glad that it didn't. We are short at least one post player, so they may try to sign 6'5" Charli Collier or 6'7" Kalani Brown. If so, I'm not sure who they will cut. Maybe Ivana since she's their 3rd PG at this point, although I'd really like to see her play, too.
Alexis Morris has chutzpah. It’ll be interesting to see if she comes to understand that roster spots have to be earned.
I’m a little more excited than I was, after your post. I’m still gonna root for the Aces over NY if it comes to that. I’m petty.
