Hmm...How did Bone have a 3.2 "Per" last season if she didn't play a game?...and if he's referring to the 3.2 post trade "Per" Bone had with Phoenix in 2016,why not include Bone's pre-trade "Per" with Connecticut which was 12.2 ?
BTW,Bone was a 15p/6r all-star in 2015 with a "Per" of 19.8...And she's still only 26 yrs old.

| An excellent article, except for the references to the "deep draft." The Sims' thing is very odd -- but there are ways around salary issues. She could be working for Magic Johnson on the side for $50,000. |
I am an ESPN Insider subscriber. The content of this article read like an piece about NBA free agency - which is a HUGE compliment. There were references to advanced stats (e.g., TS %, PER, etc.). There was salary cap information, which is a HUGE tidbit, as there is usually a caveat in any article announcing a WNBA free agent signing about terms of the respective deal not being disclosed. There was analysis from WNBA GMs about players and their impact.
All-in-all, I LOVED the piece. Rather than some of the ESPNW pieces that we have seen - what players like to cook and eat before meals (which has its place and is now being done for both male and female athletes), interesting Instagram stories, etc. - this was more in line of what one would expect from a post-free agency article about the NBA winners and losers.

She was signed. Did you hear something about her?

| Liberty still don't have Charles signed. A bit worrisome, but I doubt she goes elsewhere(at least this season).

a) They didn't, it's a pick swap, so they're backing themselves to be good and for it therefore to not be too much of a cost.
b) Howard was an RFA. |

Hey, I didn't like it either for Seattle. I was just, y'know, pointing out that someone was wrong on the internet  . |

Yes if Sims took the deal because she likes being in LA and they will offer her a max deal next year (she will still technically be a RFA) then it does show a great commitment to the team.
As a RFA she did have the option to sign another deal and force LA to match, I would be shocked if no one offered her a max deal or at least a substantially better deal, (you don't really have to be great to get max in the W just top 5 or 6 on your respective team) so I am assuming Sims chose the LA scenario. |
That's what I found surprising. She hasn't been there long, and that is a lot of loyalty to show to take a cut that is half of your potential salary. There must be other reasons that she likes LA. |
How much is playoff bonus? I know its probably not as much as salary she lost but Sims has a real shot to win ring plus she loves her team.I doubt LA would have even thought of signing Cappie if RWilliam didnt have a bad season.Im not saying this to knock her cause I was hoping she had a comeback season after her bad injury for herself & LA. Sparks didnt really have any scoring off the bench Lav was the only option and even she had a down season from 2016 which is why Dabovic Cappie both got signed.

....Seattle will benifit from this trade if Howard can take her game to the next level,or if the Storm finish with a top 6 record with Howard being a solid contributor off the bench...Just don't end up getting a top 6 pick.
