Tell me about it. Getting tired of having my opinions clobbered just because some people don’t agree with them. Last time I checked, this was a forum where people are allowed to express their opinions on women’s basketball whether they agree with those opinions or not. Some people on this board are so damn sensitive that when they fart, the sound that comes out is “shhhh”.

People on this board express contrary opinions all the time. Some choose to do so in a fashion that respects other posters. Others do not. Such will be dealt with appropriately.

Does seem to suggest the value of any WNBA franchise is limited since you have no assurance of getting any of the star players if you move the team. |
You're buying a franchise as a long term investment. I think the current roster or a couple of individual players is completely irrelevant to the business decision of buying a new or existing franchise.
You get the franchise and then worry about staffing it. The arena is a far more serious concern.

Buying a WNBA team could potentially give the buyer
1) players
2 )office personnel
3) a name
4) coaches
5) a way around the WNBA's alleged 10 million dollar franchise fee.
I think that the name only really has value if they stay in the same city. With the Tulsa Shock not getting four starters [McWilliams-Franklin, Smith, Nolan, Teasley], and Ford being too injured to play in the league, a future owner might discount the players. One of the Tulsa Shock owners even said that in hindsight, they should have just started an expansion team. Owners also may prefer hiring their own staff and coaches. I think that the fact that - buying is much cheaper than the alleged $10 million WNBA expansion fee - could be the number one reason for someone like Joe Lacob to buy a team rather than get an expansion team.
