Y'all forgot Hamby. I'd keep her over Bone. Park and McCowan would have enough size. Harrison could pick up a few minutes at the 5 if need be.

Isabelle Harrison apparently signed to play for Napoli this offseason, which is obviously a positive sign that she'll return to the WNBA. |

McBride signed with UMMC. Good move for her and for the Aces.

Was it a good move for Maya last season? Not exactly the best move for the Lynx before this latest compact season. No camp, no rest. Maybe next season it wouldn’t be so bad. But we all know who isn’t going to UMMC in the upcoming season.

My three Jefferson trade ideas
Jefferson to Seattle for #12 (LV doesn't have a second round pick and 12 will be useful. If Seattle isn't all in on Canada Jefferson was originally drafted by Hughes, has History with Stewart and another year from injury might be a closer to her old self).
Jefferson to NY for Rodgers (or Hatley) and #14 (Vegas gets a back up SG who Laimbeer has already worked with and a 2nd round pick that could get that 12th roster spot. NY gets a starting or back up PG to pair with Boyd, and frees up minutes at the 2 spot for Nurse, grab a big a #2 and Jefferson/Boyd, Nurse, Charles, #2/Stokes is at least a kind of core for the future).
Jefferson to Washington for Powers (Powers didn't really fit in Washington seem like the type of player Laimbeer could turn around can back up Young and maybe be a future starter at the SF spot, Toliver and Cloud can both play off the ball and on so Jefferson backing up Toliver could work well. Her experience with Stewart could be a good fit with EDD on the offensive end, seem kind of like a Mike T player.)

IDK. By #12, the potentially team-changing centers are gone, and the draft is light on SF's this year. Rodgers, seriously? Powers is a maybe more useful possibility.

Most of those are close enough to nothing that I'd just keep Jefferson and see if you get more from her next year and her value goes up (either to Vegas themselves or as a trade chip). She's cheap for another year anyway and a deluxe backup point guard is pretty useful.
Maybe you get keener to trade her if it becomes clear that Ionescu's going to declare, but I'd want more value to make any move until then. |

A'ja Wilson grows her game and brand in 2018

Wilson is also expanding her endorsement portfolio, as she is joining Mountain Dew Ice's team of NBA players and becomes the first WNBA player to represent the soft drink. Wilson is excited about the opportunity because she feels it's an ad campaign that focuses on the person she is off court along with her athletic prowess. |

And she has felt support from NBA players, which is another reason she's appreciative of her partnership with Dew. The company also sponsors NBA stars such as Russell Westbrook and four of the top 10 players taken in the 2018 NBA draft: Marvin Bagley III, Jaren Jackson Jr., Collin Sexton and Kevin Knox. |

Congratulations to her. Can't help but think that in some way this is a reward for her fighting for a higher pay wage for her and her peers. Of course, being a "sky's the limit" talent doesn't hurt either.

That's just what you want to see...the league's future MVP getting hurt playing in some Chinese province that no one's ever heard of. I hope everyone who thinks the WNBA's pay structure is fine reads that article.

At least 65 million have heard of them since that’s the population.
They win a lot of championships. Maya has won with them.

I have this theory that she’s been playing nonstop basketball for so long that maybe she’s using a minor sore knee ailment as an excuse to take a break for the holidays. If so, more power to her!

Wilson should've taken a break this off-season. She's been going non-stop since last November.

Easy to say when you're not the one being offered 500k (or whatever) to play 3-4 months of basketball. |

Multiple websites list the population as 32-35M. It could be one person or 4 billion, it doesn't change the fact that WNBA star players have to go overseas and play 12 months a year because league pay here is a pittance.

Nobody "has" to play overseas. They chose to do it. If what they make in 4 months of the WNBA is a pittance, somebody give me a pittance. What's your solution for more pay in the WNBA?

Keep in mind that those salaries are before taxes and not after taxes. You can make 36,000 dollars a year according to your company but that is not what you really bring home. It also depends on where you live and the cost of living. So a rookie may make $43,000 but after taxes she may really end up with $36,000 or $37,000.
