And who's fault is that? Management? Was this the beginning of the present situation that Chicago is in now?

I could be wrong about Delle Donne. But I'm sorry everything she does seems very sketchy to me.

Another reason athletes might want to leave Chicago, the new disability law Illinois is about to pass.

Already NFLPA is saying stay off the bears...honestly I could see a mass relocation of teams if they aren't careful I have no clue why they thought this was a good Idea but I see PAs going hard on this Ill leave it to that because this is pretty much an other sports issue but it couldn't help

It is good for the teams. They would be paying out less money in claims. That's the short sighted view.

My guess is they'll negotiate providing private disability insurance to make up the difference. It probably won't be that big a deal

In the CBA, you mean? That's a few years out. If the PA gives up something (money) to get it, then this is a big win for the owners.

The Mystics was suppose to had at least the 2nd pick in the 2013 Draft but the WNBA wanted to help out Chicago and Tulsa, Elena is right where she should've been all along. I doubt Elena ever wanted to play for Chicago but she served her term and she gave Chicago 4 excellent seasons. |
You know, I'm rather sick of hearing the hints that there had to be (illegal) help. I studied probability and statistics in college, I can give you the relevant equations if you want. To throw out casually that the WNBA and by extension the company who did the drawing cooked it in a direction is irresponsible and unfair. |
I guess trying to expedite killing the Mystics was more important to the WNBA than making sure the Mercury didn't get Brittney Griner. |
It's widely known in attempt to revive the NY Knicks, the NBA was involved in trickery with the lottery balls so Pat Ewing could be drafted by the NY Knicks. You telling us the WNBA (NBA) couldn't do it again. |
At the time, the general consensus was that the order drawn for the 2013 draft was the worst possible result for the league. If they were going to fix the lottery, they wouldn't have fixed it to look like it did. |
Seriously. The Mercury tanked and got rewarded for it. Absolutely a bad look. And as for the Ewing conspiracy, it was not "widely known." It's a conspiracy theory with no proof behind it.

Please, tell us how the WNBA team (the Mystics) who had the worst record at the conclusion of the 2012 season ends up with the 4th pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft, not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd but the 4th pick..

I know right! It's like flipping a coin 4 times and not getting heads any of those times. It's literally impossible. Makes no sense.
Why even have a lottery if the results of it can be so unexpected like that??!
Anyway as bad as I feel for Chicago over first Big Syl and now EDD, the Mystics getting some degree of late redemption is a silver lining.

I cannot thank you enough for this posting. The effect this disease does to the body is unbelievable. If I would of posted this it would of not meant as much as your post. Your posting is so correct. This is a health issue that EDD will probably have to live with the rest of her life.
A little known fact is Delaware has the second highest rate of Lyme Disease per capita (Connecticut has the highest) in the United States. Also, the other side of this issue, Delaware has outstanding and some of the best medical treatment anywhere.

Thanks for these valuable statements (and for posting about Amy Tan). So ugly to accuse Delle Donne of faking her medical condition, especially when the accuser is anonymous. I know that Lyme disease is a very serious matter. I wish all the best for Elena Delle Donne and everyone else who has this health struggle.

You guys aren't going to make me feel bad. It won't work. Elena Diva Donne is very shady. I'm not saying she doesn't have Lyme's disease. I just think it's a funny coincidence it popped up right on her first trip overseas. And she just happened to finish signing her new contract with the Mystics, meaning she'll have a contract and doesn't have to play overseas anymore. So if it has actually reoccurred i wonder how she's feeling now because her bouts of it have typically lasted for weeks in the past.

Mystics a championship team? Doubtful. But most certainly a play-off team and possibly better than the Liberty right now. Interesting to see Hill in the pictures with Delle Donne. With Toliver coming to D.C., Hill will now be coming off the bench. I guess she was the only other Mystics currently in town.

Not if they have Toliver run the point..

They still have Latta & Cloud. Seems pointless to have Toliver start at PG. They should have:
PG: Latta/Cloud
SG: Toliver/Hill
SF: Ruffin-Pratt/Taylor/Malott
PF: Delle Donne/Sanders/#6 pick
C: Meesseman/Thomas
