| Sac and Detroit are both very deep and its a hard decision. I would say Whiz should saved Griffith, Walker, Powell, Penicheirp, Lawson and Brunson.

Washington protects: Johnson, Beard, Smith-Taylor, Milton, Melvin, and Miller.
I'm not sure about Erica Taylor. If she was eligible to be picked, I might save her over miller. I also don't know if any of these players are FA/RFA.

If Ticha is an unrestricted free agent, there is no need to protect her. My understanding is that UFAs cannot be drafted by Chicago.

Maybe Detroit needs to think about trading Chandi Jones. Think about it- If she is left unprotected, she will likely be taken by Chicago. If they do protect her, she will still be playing behind Nolan, receiving limited minutes. I think a trade would be good for Chandi. I think she could easily be a star, just not with Detroit.
Maybe they could trade her for a draft pick, or package her with their draft pick to move up to possibly get Pondexter.

Phoenix would protect:
Penny
Diana
Anna (if she is still around)
Kamila
Maria (if she is committed to returning in 2006)
Shereka or Angelina
If Maria is not committed for 2006, Phoenix might still protect her, as insurance for 2007. |
Sandora? I'd protect her over Shereka and Angelina because we'd only be losing one of Shereka or Angelina and it's not like we have any other young promising power forwards. |

I think they'll save either Ashely Robinson ,or Wright. But im 90% sure they'll save Ashley.

each team must make 1 player available; UFA`s are not eligible
becky, `Nova, VJ, Frett, C-Rob, are UFA`S
NY protects Wauters, Christon, Moore, D-train, Carter and Thorn
makes Kraayeveld available

Not true. Melvin is under contract for next year. She signed a 3-year deal before last season at over $70,000 per year.

| I still think its risky to not save some UFAs. I dont know why teams would rather save mediocore people over stars just cause some are free agents.

You have to sign them first! That's the issue. You can't protect them if they are UFA because by definition they can sign anywhere.

If a star is a UFA she cannot be drafted and her original team cannot protect her. She is not in the pool.
Some older players who are not UFA will be exposed, however, and promising 1-3 year players protected. The 1-3 year players with potential are high risk to be drafted. An aging star whose skills are diminishing might be drafted, but more likely to be traded to a contender for young players or draft picks.
Everyone has to think about salary cap, including Chicago. If Chicago gorges itself on a diet of older, higher salaried players in the expansion draft, it leaves itself with less maneuvering room in the spring to sign its college draft picks, FAs, RFAs and UFAs.
