Seems to me Hopkins would have already been fired if that was the decision of the GM or owners.

For what it's worth, Kolb finished third in the Executive of the Year voting. He appeared on six ballots, which means at least half his peers think he did a good job.

The Aces-Mercury series features every one of our former Kia, Kia, Kiah, and Bria combo!

Like Bob, I'm rooting for the Aces to win Kiah a ring! She's playing as well as she can play for them.

I'm really excited by the thought of Tanisha Wright as a WNBA head coach. I hope it goes well for her in Atlanta, but beyond that I hope that some day she will be OUR head coach.

Who was it who suggested that the Liberty sign Stefanie Dolson? Looks like a good idea today! Smile

Dolson would be fine in a bench role. Despite her important role in the Sky’s title run, I remain skeptical that she could be a starting center on a championship-caliber team. Now that we’ve seen her win a championship in a clear role, it’s possible. But in such a scenario, it would really depend on who her backup would be – someone with length & athleticism would be most ideal, in the way that she ended up splitting time with Azurá Stevens.

Still, signing her is realistic, and she’s been a veteran long enough now that the coach & GM should know exactly what they’re getting themselves into by signing her. But signing her without doing anything else regarding upgrading the post unit I don’t think will be enough. JMO.

Her size + ability to shoot the three is enough to make me think she would be a good fit for what NY is trying to do. It's not that complicated sometimes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This year is when the new CBA comes home to roost

I do not think we are going to see big contracts that Hartley, Doslon, Lavender, etc repeat themselves (those were the excitement of the new CBA combined with some big name talent have old contracts stretch a couple of years into the new CBA). Many team are going to feel a money pinch and there is now going to be a number of cautionary tales out there for GMs to learn from. (Look at how LA's hands are tied and Washington is going to have to make some tough decisions this off season even Indy isn't as flexible as you would think thanks to D-Rob and Lavender's contracts).

The players that are going to feel the money crunch will be the decent but not star level veteran players. J. Jones, Loyd, Stewart and company will get their maxes and younger up a coming stars will need to be locked in Copper, MHA, Russell, B. Jones so decent mid level vets are going to be the ones left out

If you look at team rosters there aren't that many with a lot of cap space. Some team will still over pat to steal a player here and there but I would guess some players are going to find themselves in situations where they are going to have to take less than expected.

Allen and Dolson are probably in that category (I like both players and would like to see them on the Liberty). I think the new tiers are going to be max, very near mex say 200K to 228K, the max but slight discount for the team 180 to 200k That is where you will find the top players and then there will be a surprising drop to decent/kind of starter vets (all good teams will want these type of players but the days of them getting 160-190K seem over I wouldn't be surprised to se those players in the 115-135K range if it is higher it might be with the caveat of less years (Again I like Doslon but no one is going to want to be paying her 150K in 24).

Players (and again this isn't a slight on these players) who might find themselves a little surprised at the negotiating table this off season Dolson, Allen, Sims, Dupree, Canada, E. Williams, L. Mitchell, Brealnad, Hayes, January. Stokes, R. Williams, Deshields, Talbot and others.

Some will get paid more but most will be fighting for 120k and some might find that getting anything decent above vet minimum a struggle.
