I don't know that Nikki is worth all that. I hate to see Tameka go.

Wasnt Teasley hurt quite a bit? I didnt want to to see TJ go either but if helps with chemistry issues then Im all for it. The Styx could have gotten more though. Freeing up the Page money should be a good thing.

i hate this trade...little bit was the future of the mystics and murriel is the heart!

BCBG25 · Posted: 03/02/06 8:58 am :::

Am I the only one seeing Page as a core piece of this trade? Isn't she like Mique's best friend? If anything, they are taking her to make Mique happy, salary-wise, it doesn't make sense.

Don't get caught up in the Personality thing. TonyL on ESPN is a real good pulse taker on the Stycs. He knows a lot and I trust him. He flat out said this trade was about ball, nothing else.

I agree with all the posts, just don't like repeating them.

As a SPARKSFAN, I love this trade for many reasons:
1) We still have a quality PG, TJ is much quicker than Nikki, and I feel her speed makes up for her size;
2) I can see Tamara James giving us some quality minutes;
3) Page can give us points off the bench
4) If the Claw likes her close; all the better.
5) If we are fortunate enought to draft LSU's Hoston in the 2nd round, ICEY could applaud us as LSU West!

Now, damnit, we need a coach. If Jelly Bean is it, so be it. I just want it settled.

Is there another candidate out there? Any comments?

Is Holdsclaw such high-maintenance that she has to have her friends around her to play?[/quote]

Only an opion but yes. Remember Pat coming to Mystics as player consultant? Mique didnt make a move without consulting Pat while with the Styx. Then it was Page who helped her in Spain. Im not surprised about Page going to La but really didnt want to see it being a long time fan of Styx. Guess you get whatever your stars want. Example is the other half of the trade. TJ gone.

Hey, it's not like Holdsclaw was happy with Page on her team a couple years ago. Making concessions to make the Claw happy is like masturbation, it feels good at first, but in the end, you're screwing yourself.

Again, remind me, what has Chamique Holdsclaw, the greatest player in the league, 4 times screwed out of MVP, scoring and board champion of the world, greatest Lady Vol ever accomplished in this league? A hell of a lot of nothing. Losing in the Eastern Conference Finals is the pinacle of her career.

STUD!

Not sure about Page or the meaningfulness of the draft pick swap, but I think Teasley, if healthy, is a better basketball player than Johnson. Better shooter and rebounder, can defend bigger players, and is one of the top passers in the league even if TJ is slightly better.

Perhaps TJ could push a fast break a little better than NT. Do the Mystics fast break much?

Repeat, if healthy ... in all ways.

suemar · Posted: 03/02/06 11:56 am :::

Fast break???? With Richie at the helm, not that that Ive seen. Looked like players would try on occasion but seemed to stop barley in from of the top of key. I couldnt stand that they didnt go to the ^&*( basket with the ball. This got worse as season went on. Can Nikki shoot a free throw?

Teasley a better shooter? She's shot 40% (barely) once in her WNBA career, she was under 40% for her college career as well. She is not a good shooter and never has been.

the SPARKS without a doubt got the better end of this trade, JOHNSON is one of the best young PG'S in the game. I have no idea what the MYSTICS were thinking of trading her. I like TEASLEY but you give away a potential franchise player for an injury prone player I dont know about that . Shocked

Height does'nt matter . What matters is how much heart you play with and if you bring it every night, Not how tall you are it did'nt hurt her in college it's not going to hurt her game now. Very Happy

I can't believe this trade has happened. Like another poster stated, the Mystics just gave the Sparks the keys to their house and now the Sparks are taking the furniture. Toler plays Hargove for a fool, AGAIN!

I hope Milton-Jones can salvage this trade for her team's sake by being the glue she has been to the team's she's been apart of.

Slovydal · Posted: 03/04/06 10:24 pm :::

If the trade was Nikki for T.J. straight up - even with Page thrown in (saves salary for DC) I'd like it better.

Having to also swap picks was a rip-off.

The fifth pick could be Sophia.

Addition by subtraction. It was time for Muriel Page to go. Buh bye. From a PR perspective, this was genius since publically, the Styx can claim she added value to the trade. In actual fact, they were saved from cutting a "no longer contributing on the floor/locker room poison/earning way too much salary" from the team.

B-ball style for Beard and TJ was a clash. Both create with the ball. TJ likes to feed the ball in scoring position. Beard likes to get the ball off a screen with room to create her own score. MISMATCH. It's awesome that TJ had such a great frosh year that the Styx were able to get another talented point guard in trade. And I think Teasley

5th vs 8th pick? There aren't any dominating centers in this year's draft and that's the only missing ingredient from this team. This pick will not improve this team dramatically and neither pick was going to help the Styx trade for a center.

True that LA was handed the TV spots featuring LL and TJ, mutt and jeff. But that's all.

Wasn't there alot of talk awhile back concerning the chemistrry of the Mystics? Most people thought that a shake up of the team was in order to straighten out the locker room antics. Could this trade be the answer to the Mystic's problems? There was alot of talk about who the instigators were. I don't beleive it to be Page, but with Page being the original and oldest Mystic maybe there was a tug of war for the leadership role. Also, If the point gard wasn't distributing the ball well (like ignoring other players on the court), then she wasn't the right person for that role. I don't know whether Teasley is the answer, only time will tell. (Sorry if this has already be discussed, but just returned from vacation and heard the news)

Here's a thought, maybe Teasley wanted out of LA. She's held out (briefly) for more money the last two years, it could be that she's gotten tired of not getting what she wants.
