Concur with your analysis. The trade will look really bad if we don’t bring in good talent with the extra cap space.
Like Skylar if coach Quinn can channel the energy into positives instead of whining at officials or ranting at her teammates. Or maybe playing with DT pushed that button.
I'm very excited that the Storm are getting SDS/Diggety to be their point guard for at least 2 years! What an upgrade! We may have the best backcourt in the W this season. I'm sure Jewell's ppg will be down and she may not even be our leading scorer w Skylar running w her, but the team will be much much better, especially if we also add Nneka! Thanks for the read.
Great analysis, as always! Has anyone ever provided an actual definition of the term "super team?" I loathe the term (based on my interpretation of it), and all the negatives for any sport where such "teams" can be assembled.
I should be excited about the Diggins-Smith signing - I had to swallow hard when it came to pass, because of the on-court antics I've seen from her and what I've observed of her demeanor. That said, I'll admit that she's a major upgrade of last year's trainwreck of point guard play. One more piece...
Great analysis. I really like your point about if Nneka goes to NY ( which I think she will) giving up the 4th pick looks bad. I also worry about a 33 year old player who hasn't played in a year and has character red flags. And your point about a weak bench is valid. I was looking forward to the Storm rebuilding through the draft, but they obviously have chosen a different path. I look at Cheryl Reeves and the Lynx, and IMO, they are doing it right.
I hope Nneka is just taking advantage of free agency. Why wouldn’t she? She gets a free trip to NY and wined and dined. The best fit truly is Seattle. She will start, but also get some rest as we do have reasonable depth @ big with Dulcy & Cedes. Now, if we DO lose out on Nneka, I just hope we have a plan B and shoot for Bec Allen. (I don’t see Bonner leaving the Sun, and if she does I think a PHO reunion would be more likely and make way more sense fit wise).
And to your super team point—Lynx/Dream/Wings/Sun(if they stay in tact) are making solid teams themselves—-even Fever. Sky/Mystics/Sparks are all hurting for real tho. Especially the Sky with no first round picks in the recent future.
