I'm hopeful the Wings draft Vivians or Williams and offer to trade Powers. Powers for Stokes?

You really believe in giving us your hand me downs ..... Give up Power essentially for a rookie and an out of shape post ? |
Zune would take that deal. Seems pretty fair.

I Dont agree. Stokes was a mess last season , judging this trade to be fair based off her rookie season is not sufficient.

Loved getting Nurse. Hated hearing that Boyd won’t be ready to start the season. Not that I was expecting her to be 100% but now I think there’s no way she will be anywhere near 100% all year.
Plus side Nurse fills major needs. She’s arguably the best 3 point shooter in the draft. She’s 6’0”. She defends. She knows the game. She will unquestionably have an immediate impact.
Piph might also be a little more effective at point with Nurse on the floor. Unlike Sugar, Nurse is a good ball-handler and passer. Piph and Sugar together in the backcourt slowed the halfcourt offense to a crawl. Nurse might work with Piph at the point.

Can they suspend Boyd until healthy? That way no one has to be waived or traded?

Don’t two people have to have long-term injuries before you’re allowed to open a roster spot?

i like Nurse, you know what you gonna get from her, tough hard-nose defense, great 3 point shooter. you can rely on her. she's not flashy, her handle to me is not good but i think she will be Solid for the Libs.

Lobo said Boyd won’t be ready to start the season. She didn’t elaborate further.

By point guard standards, I’d agree about her handle. But I think it’s fine for a 6’0” wing. Def better than Sugar.

Russell at 22!!!! 6’6” and athletic. I’ll take it. Filled two needs with “best availables” at 10 and 22. I’m freaking elated!

Russell is a center, Gray a C/PF, and Nurse is likely to be pushed to SF if we don't trade Rodgers. As someone who has watched 75%-80% of UConn games over the last four years, believe me, you don't want Kia Nurse as your PG. Part-time PG in college doesn't make you a PG in the WNBA. Nurse is less of a PG than Sugar Rodgers, who was a fulltime PG as a senior at Georgetown.

Nurse is absolutely not a PG. I think Lindsay Allen is definitely making the team if Boyd is still hurt. This is what I’m thinking:
1-Hartley/Allen/Prince
2-Prince/Rodgers/Nurse
3-Zellous/Nurse
4-Charles/Zahui
5-Stokes/Vaughn/Russell
Boyd
Besides needing PG depth Lindsay Allen is going to be a solid WNBA starter someday. High IQ players with elite vision are a rare commodity. You don’t let them get away.
Also I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nurse starting before the year is over. I think Bec is out. Unless she’s improved significantly. She added nothing new to her game last year. Or at least nothing new that we saw in games.

Concur that Nurse is not a PG, except as an occasional backup. Average handle and passer for any perimeter position. Not a penetrator unless she has a wide open lane, nor a shot self-creator. Strengths are outside catch & shoot, defense, mature judgment and leadership. |

I'm not surprised. We haven't heard anything about Boyd and basketball all winter. It's nice that she started her own Christmas toy drive and participated in a re-enactment of the Selma to Montgomery march, but in the end we're mostly interested in Brittany as a basketball player. I couldn't find any news in that regard, so I had a feeling she wasn't ready.
