Might have something to do with the 5 game semi-finals that could end in 3 games. Fill in the possible down time.

I wouldn't mind them making it into a bigger production, but that kind of effort would be a surprise.

That would be a negative scenario. Also, given that pilight hinted expansion talks could be more advanced than previously thought, maybe the possibility of giving Expnsion Team X some ping pong balls is on the table for discussion. |
Sadly first thought that came to my mind was contraction/re-location because some ownership wants out. Hope not.
Still not sure what the hurry is to do the lottery during the playoffs. Go back to doing it after the season, during league meetings when they got everybody there or better yet as a precursor to an early WCBB gm. Maybe try to keep your league somewhat relevant in the off season piggybacking on WCBB. Waiting shouldn't hurt scouting since teams "should" already have a list of who they want to look at anyway.

It's a four team lottery system. Doesn't take long. I'm guessing and say they do this before game 1 of the finals on ABC.

Maybe they have an expansion team who made a deal that they get into the lottery so they have to go out and buy some more ping pong balls.

I think KD just gave away the fact that a team might be added to the east just now in her dallas wings live chat she said "she's looking forward to a team being added in the east" so I'm guessing when the wnba finals is over we'll have an expansion draft and announcement

Haha.... funny. Kaela Davis has all the front office info? I think you're probably taking the comment out of context, like maybe a South Carolina fan asked if she'd like a WNBA club out there.

The exact wording was that she was "looking at more teams being potentially added." Nothing about timelines.

You'd figure it'd be this year if the lottery is affected. Philly or Boston, please. I'd love the opportunity to make an additional road trip.

East coast, Philadelphia or Boston? Eastern Conference, Cleveland or even a team in Tennessee?
