I doubt that Janeth is coming back to the W, and even if she does there's no guarantee she'll come back to The Comets.
Houston's front court is pretty well set. They had the league's worst backcourt last season.

If she's to come back, I don't think she'd go to any other team. She makes a lot of money here, she'd take a paycut to stay in Houston, that's for sure.

Now you have Charlotte likely winning the Janel McCarville sweepstakes, and what do they need the most? A center... |
TSB is Charlotte's 5.
Charlotte needs a 4 - which McCarville and Irvin could play. I think Irvin might be the better fit. |

Charlotte needs guards and a 4...heck, even Trudi Lacey even said so.

And I need a reason, a probabilistic one, for the 2 teams with the worst records to finish with the bottom 2 slots. That flat out sucks.

Sounds like GM mindgames to me... It just doesn't make sense unless Trudi plans on playing Powell ~15 mins a game, split between backing up the SF and PF position... Mazzante should improve greatly this year too.
But she also said she will consider making a trade on draft day if it will improve their team. A better mindgame would be to put McCarville on the block for Minnesota and ask for the world. Considering it would be a West-East trade, more might be put on the table.
I can't say I see McCarville as a 4, especially if she's matched up with the likes of the many mobile and decently mobile PFs like Tina Thompson and LJ... but I do know she's legit. And when you're picking #1s, teams always go safe. That and of course they can trade Janel more easily.

Hard to believe the two sides with the worst records get the last picks. They certainly look after those Eastern Conference sides. Then again, I suppose they need to.

I am sure VeProf will claim the draft lottery was fixed by the Brigade.

Phoenix should consider trading #3 for either Vanessa Hayden or Michelle Snow.

Honest Question for you Cam:
If Phoenix kept the #3 pick, and the players that you like are in the draft and still available after the first two picks, who would you take?

I love Irvin, but we would need to move either Plenette or Gwen...or pray one grows 2-3 inches. But I love that kid's game
I love Currie, and she would be a good fit here as well.
Honestly, for Phoenix, this year is a tough one. I would trade the pick.

That makes sense. As you suggested above, trading for Michelle Snow or Vanessa Hayden would be wise moves. I can't help but think how good Snow could be if she had the right coach and right team supporting her. Vanessa is a good choice as well.

Rant to follow...
VeProf has really earned his stripes as TDMFOTB tonight. I have never met anyone with his inability to comprehend other people's comments.
