Depends on how much Parker plays. If she takes most of the season off again, she'll be out of the running again.

You don't have to be the best player to win the mvp,just the best player on the best team.Dallas will have a plethora of talent and will be a legit contender.Diggins was a top 3 mvp candidate on a 8-1 1st place team prior to her season ending injury.

The last time the best player on the best team won MVP was Lauren Jackson in 2010.

But they were still in contention for the mvp.
2015:Maya-2nd
2014:Taurasi-2nd
2013:Maya-2nd
I'm not saying Diggins will win the award,just predicting that she will be a legit candidate.

How dare WNBA fans vocalize their own opinions on a women's basketball message board forum... |
Not to be facetious here or anything but wasn't ClayK and ChicagoAnnie just vocalizing their opinion about your opinion of Diggins' aspirations on a women's basketball message board forum? I mean yeah, you have the right to your opinion as do they, right? |
Precisely. How is it taking "shit too far" to express an opinion on what a player said on a forum where the very purpose is to talk about women's basketball and give opinions? lol. This place is funny sometimes. |
In this context, and they can correct me if I am wrong, I think that they may be taking issue with the fact that you appear to be trying to put a measure on something is not really measurable. How do you measure aspirations? If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to your original conclusions about how much better Diggins could be if she put out the effort? |

This is a silly conversation. Who is the "best" is always going to be an opinion. Just like aspirations, you can't measure it. I don't think she was even close to the best in the world before, so I found it kind of funny for her to say that's what she's going to be when she comes back from her injury. But that's my opinion obviously; something we all do on this forum, give our opinion. You don't have to agree, but I think that's FAR from taking it "Too far".

That was one of those funky pilight polls that wouldn't even allow the reigning MVP to be a candidate.

Moore didn't have a great start to last season.
FWIW here's a link to that above poll and its discussion

They're hard to come back from in the short term, so I certainly wouldn't expect to see Skylar back in the top handful of players this season.
Players do return to some pretty good basketball though. Tamika Catchings, Candace Parker & Sheryl Swoopes turned out ok.
Swoopes tore hers in 2001 (pre-season) and won WNBA MVP in 2002 so it's possible.

I figured trade rumours, offers, etc. would pop up in this thread after that pic.

Remember how Wiggins was having meetings with Lisa Leslie when she was with the Lynx, and then later she mysteriously ends up with the Sparks? Of course, she's a Cali girl tho.
