The last two seasons in the WNBL have been defining for me and have genuinely helped me to develop personally and professionally. And just as I had hoped, the WNBL served as a platform for me to chase my dream all the way back to Seattle. And that takes us to the present. I'm one week into training camp with the Storm and loving every minute of it. |

I'm a STH and just learned that the Storm has added a "general admission family zone" that includes the back of my section where kids are encouraged to "cheer as loud as you can." I can only think that now every game has the potential to be like Kids Day. Am I unreasonable to be pissed about this? I definitely would have looked into moving my seat if I'd known about it. |
would it be possible for you to move, have you considered speaking with your rep?

I'm going to contact her. They do an annual seat selection event that I didn't attend because I was happy with my seat before I found out about this...I would have had better options at that event.

It's tough when a marginal player misses training camp.

Presumably means Montgomery's been good enough to not bother with much of a look at Greene. There are only five posts left on the roster now, so Montgomery's looking good to make the team. Although cutting down to 14 this early does suggest they might be looking to pick another player up or make a waiver claim to take a look at someone else. |

I wonder if we have to have 5 posts. Stewart will be playing big minutes. Langhorne will have to share her minutes with Swords and Tokashiki.
So i dont see a big need there if we dont have a solid 5th post in training camp or cant pick up one
PG: Bird, Quinn Peterson
SG: Loyd, Whitcomb
SF Clark, O'Hea and KML
PF: Stewart, Tokashiki
C: Langhorne, Swords

I think Montgomery stays. Langhorne's natural position is at PF, so I have to wonder if we might see a big line-up with Stewart at SF, Langhorne & Swords/Montgomery. We could see both PGs get cut with Peterson & O'Neill with Quinn acting as the back-up PG.
PG: Bird/Quinn
SG: Loyd/Whitcomb/KML
SF: Clark/O'Hea
PF: Stewart/Tokashiki
C: Langhorne/Swords/Montgomery

Your player selection is okay, but your slotting seems wonky to me. I'll never understand why you consider KML a shooting guard. Way too slow.
Peterson was supposed to represent the future, but I suppose they could go with a guard in next year's draft. Hope for Mitchell or maybe Canada.... Nurse. Or maybe just have a little patience with Peterson. Hardest transition in the WNBA.
Bird/Quinn
Loyd/Whitcomb/O'Hea
Clark/KML
Stewart/Langhorne/Tokashiki
Swords/Montgomery
Tokashiki is probably my real first backup for SF, and KML is my 11th or 12th man. I'm just not as high on her as you wishful thinkers

The Storm need to sign Erin Philips as soon as possible. Certainly when Bird is not ready to play the first few games and Noelle Quinn is also dealing with an injury. We dont have to worry about cap space.
Starting Peterson or O'Neill just isnt a good idea..

I think Phillips would be a good fit in Seattle. She could spare both Bird and Lloyd when they need a rest and start while Bird is out

We signed her years back but Agler traded her for Katie Smith

Worked out great for Indiana as I don't think they could have beat the Lynx in the finals without her. They are lucky Smith demanded a trade from. Washington.

Signing Phillips is easier said than done.She allegedly left phoenix because she wanted to be a starter right ?.I know Erin came off the bench with dallas,but I believe she only made this concession to play closer to family/home.

I dont think that at this stage in her career she cares about starting
