Dupree & Bonner for MCcoughtry ?

THis one is intriguing but since Angel has said she's sitting out this year, it would be the same as Phoenix saying they were tanking again.

Myrtle, who do you think was ultimately responsible for the decision for PHX to tank, somebody from the ownership group or the president of the team at the time? That president is no longer with PHX, but she's now at a different WNBA club, so I'll be keeping a watchful eye on that club for any signs of tanking. Alhough, 2018 isn't necessarily the best draft to tank for since it's so deep, unless maybe you have your heart set on Wilson. 2013 was a very top end draft.

Not sure what you read earlier by DeWanna and Candace are married now so if one of them wants a trade that would be weird, no? |
Uh oh be careful. We're apparently not supposed to say anything about the players life outside baseball. shhhh. |
I'm not gossiping. The announcement and pictures were public. It is not a secret, it's just a fact.

You must have missed the other thread where we got into a silly argument about this.

I like the idea of Bonner and Dupree being traded together somewhere, I think that would be a nice shake up to the status quo.
IMO Dupree for Lyttle straight up is pretty even, so if Bonner is to be included I think Atl would have to send more back. Bonner and Dupree for Lyttle and Hayes could be interesting. But if not Hayes I think Atl would need to include at least the #7 pick.
With Angel taking time off I wonder if Atl goes rebuild year and develops their young players, going for Dupree and Bonner is a win now move, so it depends on what Atl's goal are for 17 and 18.

Trading either of those two "iron women" for the oft injured Sancho seems shortsighted.

The Free agency thread. Someone (you can probably guess who) got his panties in a bunch when someone brought up a relationship on the Connecticut Sun (even though it is a known relationship via Instagram).

Pilight, as there even been a trade involving two Core players (e.g., Bonner for McCoughtry)? |
Yes, but they weren't traded for each other. Sylvia Fowles and Erika DeSouza were both core players in 2015 when the three team deal sending Fowles to Minnesota and DeSouza to Chicago happened. |
Ah, gotcha. Thank you!

Trading for Robinson is a win now move, so I think Bonner and Dupree will be staying with the team for one final push
ATM
Robinson/Xargay
Taurasi/Harden
Bonner
Dupree
Griner/Bone
They still need some posts, maybe Cayla George returns? Even if they give Bone some money they can probably afford one more free agent, to bad they can't get Little or Langhorne for free, Larkins? Pierson back in PX? I wonder if they give TJJ a shot, Is she still healthy and playing in Israel? Any other Aussies floating around? Maybe try for kind of Aussie K. Griffin to do some work at the 3 and the 4 off the bench? Maybe D. Adams could work as a back-up to Dupree?

Spooner, you forgot about Petrovic. She's decent.
More ideas: Asia Taylor, who Brondello probably knows is owning Australia. Make a low-ball offer to Pedersen to bring her back home to AZ. Cierra Burdick, one Vol to replace another. What ever happened to Jen Lacy? Bulgak, the quickly forgotten one. Yvonne Turner, Nadia Colhado, Destiny Williams, low ball an offer for Gruda. So many choices.

Opps yeah forgot Petrovic, she makes it look a lot better, if George comes over PX looks pretty good.
With the Aussie connection in PX this seems like a good place for honorary Aussie K. Griffin to get another shot.
It looks like a big or two might get dropped in Conn I'd be watching that camp pretty closely. If Chicago brings in another post in the draft at #2 or #9 someone worth having as a 5th post might fall off that roster as well.

Gruda might not be a bad Idea. She played with DT and BG at Ekat last season so she will be familiar with Sandy's system.

If Dupree went East, would Bonner demand a trade?

I was hoping to see this happen this year. Stephanie has good size, flexibility, and experience. Plus she adds to our Aussie total which is a good thing in Phoenix. Welcome to the Mercury, Stephanie.
