| I think Bonner will end up in Indiana. DeSheilds and Williams will be gone by #8/#9. Vivians ain't a first round pick. I'd be happy with Nared or Green well.

| We still need a SF. Zellous isn't getting any younger either. |
2018 SF list:
Deshields
Williams
Nared
Greenwell
Vivians
McGhee (Stanford)
How about Bonner? Would you give up a 1st for her?
2018 liberty thread is gonna be bigger then this lol a lot of discussions already and the season is not even over yet |
I think you mean McPhee. Interesting player. Not the greatest athlete, not even that consistent as an outside shooter, but very spunky. She takes it to the hoop and knows how to protect the ball to get her shot off. That seems to be a lost art. Just look at the Becky Hammon video that's up on LIberty social media right now. An unathletic 5-6 guard is able to drive against bigger players and get her shot off. It can be done. Are you watching Sugar?
My sleeper pick is Shanice Johnson of Cincinnati. I saw her against UConn and she took it right to the strength of the Huskies -- those mid-sized players: Collier, Nurse, and Gabby Williams. Johnson was not intimidated at all. She is a good athlete with good skills, and Shanice looks bigger than the listed 5-11. If you put a UConn uniform on her, she could switch sides and fit right in. The alarming red flag on Johnson is that she's attended 4 schools in 4 years. I haven't investigated the background story yet. Also, don't sleep on Teana Muldrow from WV.
I think Russell is way more athletic than Swords. Certainly a better shotblocker. Not as smart and not as motivated, but that's why you have coaches and veteran teammates.
Yeah, who needs a 2018 thread?  |
Yeah I saw that video yesterday with Hammon, great memories come back quick......she will always be a Liberty for life
I remember I saw some of bearcats games she is talented, she kinda reminds me lil bit of Shayla Cooper who played at OSU
I'm not a fan of Russell just yet I gotta see more from her, she definitely improved a bit not a stiff she can move

| Beating an undermanned Sparks team, Connecticut last night and getting a Lynx team tomorrow without Whalen & Brunson is a huge advantage to getting that #4 seed. Mystics do play the Fever tomorrow, so we need that win vs. Minnesota. Then we have that important game vs. Washington on Friday where Delle Donne might be back. As Laimbeer said last night, the team is finally firing on all cylinders, so let's hope this win streak continues.

| If Swords is a UFA, I'd bring her back. She'd be better than Vaughn right now.

Seattle trading their FRP (even in a weak draft) for an expiring contract seems rather unlikely.

I could be wrong but I don't think the expiring contract thing is as big of a deal in the W especially in the off-season. Maybe in a mid season trade, but if you pick up a mid-level player for a season and she works out for your team you can usually get them to stay by offering a good or even max deal. If that player doesn't work put you probably don't want to pay them for the contract they arrived on anyway.
I'm not sure when Swords re-upped but she played for NY for 2 seasons and Seattle for one, if the deal was signed when she came to NY a 3 year deal seems very possible.

| Swords signed in 2016, by the way, and a 3 year contract would mean one more year.

I believe that for Laimbeer the crucial part of the trade was getting Hartley. At some point he surely knew that Wright wasn't returning and that Schimmel might not either. He couldn't be sure what he'd get at "lead guard" from either Prince or Boyd. so Hartley gave him another option. And, indeed, given Boyd's injury and Prince's difficulties at lead guard, it's been quite important for the Liberty to have Hartley.
I wouldn't be shocked if Laimbeer trades to get Swords back. She gave the team more than Vaughn has and the price for getting Swords can't be all that high.

Mystery man just said Swords' contract expires this year. I doubt she gets cored, so she may be a free bird.

If Swords is re-signed, I believe Vaughn will be gone. But perhaps both Vaughn and Zahui B will be gone.

| With Nayo outplaying Vaughn just in hustle, there would be no need for Vaughn either. Vaughn to Indiana for S. Johnson or . Mitchell?

| So I've had this happen in the past with the MSG box office and I don't understand why they do this. But I always buy my ticket(s) in person instead of through Ticketmaster to avoid the fees. I always check online what's available so I know what to ask for when I approach the box office. There were several $48 seats in section 107 available, but when I asked at the box office he said those we're all sold out. I told him I just checked 20 minutes ago online and there were plenty available. He said only thing available in that section were $78 and up. I'm put into section 119 instead as I usually only spend under $50/ticket. As soon as I enter MSG, I check Ticketmaster again and those same $48 seats are still available. WTF?? How do I avoid this in the future? Do I just suck it up and pay the fees online?

It's disheartening to read this, but sadly it's not surprising. It's common practice in many organizations, so of course it's impossible to expect better in Dolanworld. Perhaps others will have good suggestions for you. I hope so. I fear you may have to accept paying the fees online.

Talk about a one sided deal.
