Harding is going Italy...not sure what team. She leaves sometime either this weekend or early next week. I think her first game is 10/3.

Thanks, WBD! I was going crazy trying to find some of the Dream. That really helps.
P. S. Congratulations to Katie Feenstra on her upcoming nuptials.

If Feenstra goes back to South Korea, they don't begin their season until mid-December, I think. Then they finish in late February/early March for the playoffs.
Does anybody know if Lauren Jackson is going back to Seoul? The short season, and big money is what drew her there, but with the decision not to play non-Korean players last winter, I wonder if her three year deal is off?

| Leilani's off to France, if I recall correctly. She better pack calcium supplements to avoid those pesky stress fractures.

Is Pokey still coaching for Spartak? I haven't heard of any news regarding Sylvia heading there, but a lineup of Taurasi-Jackson-Bird-Thompson-Fowles...that would just be...I would have to fly to Russia to see this. I think I heard Shabtai is tightening his wallet this year and isn't going to include as many international players on the roster. He has already dumped Matovic.

how could she resign she just had a great season and is still playing at a high level, but then I realized shes going to re-sign with the monarchs, and now I'm happy I get to see her play at least one more season
