for the ring ceremony, were any of the Euros there(Wauters, Dabovic, etc.)? |
Just Sandrine Gruda. They showed a picture of the others on the video screen and announced their name.

Yeah horrible trade by NY that year. And especially annoying that Blaze misjudged that '09 team so brutally. At least CT got Jones, who looks like she has the physical tools to be a dominant player someday. Did Miller yield too much? Probably. But if Jones hits her ceiling I don't think CT will be too disappointed with the outcome.

Williams' issues may not have that much to do with skill.
Consider that in her career she shoots once every two minutes, and makes just 36.6% of those shots. For reference, Kristi Toliver shoots closer to once every three minutes, and makes 44.9% of her shots. Even Taurasi doesn't shoot as often as Williams, but she makes 43.6% of hers.
Granted, Williams can get shots, and obviously she had one night where she was making a lot of them -- but as I recall, it was a relatively meaningless late-season game, so I'm not sure how one great night translates into being a player who can help a team win a title.

I hope Sims is ok and her injury last night was nothing too serious. Ive been searching through social media to see if anything has been posted but nothing. I wished the W kept us more updated about injuries and such. I guess I'll just wait and see.

Are we sure Riquna wasn't also somehow injured/not available? I know she was on the bench but who knows what was going on? It could have been the doghouse but you would have thought she would at least get a few minutes. It wasn't like Syd was all that effective in the second half.

Like Curt Miller was by giving them Gray. LA are a bunch of evil genius and I love it. But when you trade the draft pick that became Tina Charles for Noelle Quin something good has to come your way. |
Still better than trading the draft pick that became Tina Charles for Sidney Spencer. At least Noelle Quinn's still in the league. (Me? Still salty? Nawwwwwwwww.) |
lmao But NY did end up with Charles anyway.

A low percentage completion high volume shooter like Williams, does not fit on a team like LA. They have to many offensive options to need a player who's strength is getting their own low percentage shot. A player like that " when they are hot " can light it up. But they can also shoot you out of games when their shots are not dropping. On a team like LA they actually are a detriment.
I am sure the coach was just hanging on to her as insurance in case a replacement for Kristi didn't materialize. She could also have trade value and that is probably what they will do with her. No sense putting her in the rotation if they don't have her in their long term plans.

Williams is one of those players that's simply hit or miss. If LA had Williams last season, would they still have won the championship? is she coachable? Trade Williams for a 2018 pick and bring back Dabovic.

I definitely hear what y'all are saying and for her sake, I'm hoping she's coachable...
Anybody heard anything about Sims?

Why did Penny Toler miss the ring ceremony? |
She was there. I guess she let her assistant have the GM ring.

In Respect to Sims I am thinking " no news is good news". If it was something major we would have already heard something.
