Bonner: “I am so happy to announce that I’m expecting. I have always wanted a family and I have looked forward to this chapter of my life. While I am disappointed to miss the 2017 season with my Mercury family, this was the right decision for me right now. Don’t worry, X-Factor, I will still be around this summer, and I will be back and better than ever in 2018!” |
Congratulations DB and CanDu!

Will her core designation automatically transfer to next season?

No, they would have to core her again. However, since she isn't playing as a core player the number of times she can be cored will not change.

Hopefully this news being official now ends all that nonsense about the Mercury being a contender this season. |
They have Diana...

Why is Bonner saying that she will be in Phoenix this summer if she can't play and her spouse is in Indiana?

Might as well hang with the team if you're getting paid.

Congratulations to DeWanna and her spouse. I enjoyed the way she played basketball and I will miss her playing this year.

As much as I love Dupree, Little will bring defense. It is losing Bonner to pregnancy that compounds the loss of the retiring Taylor. However, I still believe the Mercury will be rather competitive.

Little is a better player at this point. I've always thought she was underrated.

No she's not, at least not with CT the past two seasons. She does play somewhat ok defense, but her efficiency while on the court has been terrible the past 2 years.
