I never claimed he wasn't smart. If he's dialed into me, he's very smart. Maybe this year he won't make a bad call on a player like Akhator.

Yeah, and having a little extra incentive might make all the difference in getting her over the hump to coming over. It's a good idea. If nothing else has worked all these years it's definitely worth a shot. Common sense? I guess not.

This portion is false , O & BG are not the perfect pair one would assume. Baylor connection means zilch here, guaranteed .

I'm not embarrassed for him. Reeve came into a situation where she had practically everything she needed for a championship caliber team. Two key injuries in 2010 let them miss the playoffs and get that missing #1 pick. She keeps it a dynasty because she has a team that is willing to take less than max for the opportunity to get a ring. If all five of her starters got a pure max salary they would not have been able to afford Perkins, Montgomery, and Pierson on the bench to cover when injuries happened.
No mistake, she is a VERY good coach but Curt Miller did a lot more with a lot less in the same amount of years. |
If only Reeve had been "very smart" and was as dialed into Shades as Shades thinks Miller is. That way, the Lynx would have traded for Zahui instead of an aging Fowles, and all these championship runs could have been avoided!

They were at the time, which was 2014. This is back when Glory and Griner were dating, so there were no battle lines drawn. Don't use current gossip as a gage.
How many people really think Sims was better than Diggins, who was the most improved player in the league.

Woah woah , shades im not apart of the entourage after you im just stating facts. Everyone knows here in dallas and waco that BG and O have never really gotten along , BG and Glory were together and glory and O were friends. Of course they have common ground both playing at baylor , but im absolutely sure if you ask either side they both would defer to answer on personal feelings for each other. You should not create situations and use either player as your scapegoat , especially when the information is not first hand .

lol. We always knew you hung out on L-Chat. This wasn't about those battle lines - they were not close even before then. As for Sims vs. Diggins, that the lack of facts I am talking about. It doesn't matter one bit how they were in the WNBA. All that matters was how they meshed with the existing team which you cannot possibly know about because you were not at the practices. dtsmts was, by the way. So, you take a complete assumption that Diggins > Sims in WNBA means Diggins > Sims in USA BB. Then you decide that there has to be a reason why and you just pull one out of thin air. Never mind that Griner had already participated in camp and had said she intended to go. Anyone can say anything they want but you haven't really shown that you have any sort of privileged knowledge to back it up.

The only thing I want to say here atm is that if the 2 names are gong to be combined, surely Trades makes more sense than Shump, because it works contextually as well.

Or seen Nina Davis and Reshanda Grey as high picks or any of the other things that he says that don't pan out. The difference is we all recognize that we as fans will have incorrect opinions at times and don't keep track of as much so we can point it out later.

Oooh, trades is awesome. But it might get confused with Trader Bill. I just don't want us to drive away the biggest regular insider we have in dtsnms.

Did Geno know? Probably not.
Even if you don't believe Sims was used as a lure to Griner, that was just used as an illustration. It's a whole different argument that neither one of us need to get into here.

Trades playing the victim? more FakeNews
WNBA09, contrary to what some people may say, Sims played better defense and handled pressure on the ball better than Diggins in camp and scrimmage. That’s what they needed for that team.

Yes i do agree . Simms was a better fit for what the team needed so it was understandable for me . Now if this were to happen today id be appalled #WFFL

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometers, i.e. 109 times that of Earth, and its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.

But if you compare it's size to many of the other stars out there in universe land, it is tiny...so it's all in perspective.

Dang I really thought I had missed a bunch of info on the Suns and was really looking forward to reading but this is so unnecessary. We need to all support women’s basketball. Don’t make the W like the silly college jealousy. If we can’t support it, why should we expect others to.

I would like NY (to exist) and poach UFA Stricklen.
She had her best season in the W last year and her outside shooting really helped the post combo of A. Thomas and J. Jones. She would fit nicely between the two headed two guard Prince/Rodgers and Charles. Conn having to move A. Thomas to the 3 spot at least some of the time to open up minutes for Chiney and a healthy Tuck, combined with the fact that I see them taking the 6 footer Nurse at #9 if she is still on the boardas another option for the SG/SF spot just might make Shekinna a low enough priority that the Liberty could take advantage of
It wouldn't be that super star move we really need but it might push the needle slightly further in our favor.

Same here. I saw ‘page 3’ and thought, wow something must be happening in CT, so I get excited, and click to read, and it’s nothing but f’ing garbage not related to the CT Sun at all.
Take your pissing battle somewhere else other than the Sun thread.
