I'm wondering if she had awake up call and is ok with coming off the bench for a non-title contender? San Antonio? Seattle? Would Minnesota take her to replace Pierson?

New York and Seattle could certainly use her. Dallas could bring her in as insurance. We saw in 2015, she can be a solid player.

You guys do realize she's talking about a lot of you on here, right? So many on this board just love to make up shit about players or spread rumors from very questionable sources that are completely untrue.

I'd be more than willing to give her another chance in Phoenix. |

They still own her restricted rights, so it remains the most likely destination. |

Upgrade over Cannon and George for sure

but would Phoenix match a max? I'm guessing some other team will throw one at her.

But then, I guessed the same thing last offseason. We still don't know whether she had offers and if so what level they were at, because who knows how 'voluntary' her year off was. Maybe not getting the money she expected led to the skiped year, or maybe she just felt like she needed the time off and any offers were redundant.
I would think that a 5 with decent size who can score would draw high offers, even if she can't defend and has some character question marks, but who knows. Phoenix still have a bunch of cap space, although Bonner returning could cut into that. And Brondello never seemed comfortable with the idea of Bone and Griner playing together, which would basically make Bone an expensive insurance policy. A sign-and-trade might be the best idea for everyone. |

As big of a fan I am of Janel, I think her Lynx playing days are over unfortunately. Lynx need to get younger.

This should definitely be a priority for Minnesota. Sign a young post (Bone?). McCarville would likely be a one year filler.

I definitely don't see that happening. The Lynx are into good chemistry players.
Have you forgotten her recent history?

I was talking about the current (no longer young) Sancho. She is a UFA and NC intimated in the DNS podcast recently they are not sure whether Sancho will want to come back to the Dream next season. If she went to the Lynx I assume it would be as a backup, like Pierson last year. My guess (based on nothing) is she would go to whatever team offers her the most money and longest deal. But who knows, players her age sometimes go ring shopping and the Lynx have been picking up some of those types.
She has a history with Fred, so Dallas is possible. Getting young Sancho probably is not.

In spite of the perception that people had of her, I think she did a good job in PHX. She was the tough and physical presence they needed off the bench.

Little had 8 games in double digit scoring during the regular season, and only one game in double digit rebounds. No double-doubles.
In the playoffs she had one game in double digit scoring and one game double digit rebounding. No double-double.
And that's with Griner missing a bunch of games.
