Ha Eun Joo
Zofia Hruscakova
Emmeline Ndongue
Diandra Tchatchouang

Don't know why names like this cropped up. Usually they only list the unrestricted free agents who played last year. Otherwise the list could be near-infinitely long. Mytle is unrestricted free agent.

I guess Cambage is still under the rookie contract. There was some debate about that. Otherwise she'd be listed somewhere.

Reeve's not coring anybody. Not giving a qualifying offer to Katrina Elhotova. Stumbling already or does she have a plan that doesn't involve Elhotova, Montgomery, or Perkins?

This is a pretty weak UFA class. Given the expected retirements and players likely to stay with their current teams, it is hard to see a team made up of the UFA's even making the playoffs.

Here is my starting 5, excluding Brunson and Montgomery who I think will stay with MN. If those two were to move, I put Brunson the starting lineup and move Breland and to the bench. Cappie/Montgomery would probably split time at PG.

Breland
Stricklen
Paris
S. Johnson
Pondexter

Bench
Young
Swords
Perkins
Latta
Lytltle

Of course, this team probably would have salary cap problems.

OK here is a sign and trade prediction based on the above

K. Bone sign and traded to LV for #13 pick

Laimbeer originally drafted Bone, she had a decent rookie season in NY, #13 in this draft is just valuable enough that PX won't feel robbed, and PX probably doesn't want to pay Bone anything anyway. Seems very much like a Laimbeer kind of trade. Bone delivers the goods with a new lease on her career trader Bill looks like a genius, it doesn't work out he didn't give up too much, and can focus on Wilson.

Bone needs to hope there's a team out there that won't put up with her attitude and give her a second chance.

What's the chance Dupree heads back to Phoenix with Bonner? Everything thinks Bonner will end up in Indiana. Dupree to Phoenix for Little? Phoenix doesn't have much to offer right now.

I tend to think Johnson will want out of Indiana and play on a better team. Indiana will likely be another lottery team after 2018.

If Bonner were to stay in PHX, would Dupree at Las Vegas (300 mi) be close enough?

From things I've heard around Indy, there's very little chance. Although I fully admit someone with more insider knowledge than me might have heard otherwise.

Seems like if Phoenix wanted to keep DuPre they wouldn't have traded her.

My prediction on Bonner and Dupree one plays one sits out.

Probably wrong... it's already been said they both want to play.

Yes but I think both of them being cored will really limit their ability to end up together. And I'm not sure they will both play if they are not able to also be with their children regularly. I doubt they both play if they are in different cities, even cities that are not too far apart. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they both want to play, and play on the same team.

The right trade or trades might be out there but I'm not confident that it will work out. When players are cored, of a certain age, and you know they want to be together how much leverage does the team with that player have in a trade. (Unless the ground work for the trade is already in place and the coring was just a formality.)

Bonner to Indy for #14 and Coleman

Dupree to PX for Cannon and #20

Even something like that seems a little expensive

With the W scheduling, it's still pretty hard to spend time together....even though Vegas tends to be a cheap and quick airline trip, so might be doable in one sense, there's still who's on the road and who's at home. And I would think the distraction would also be a negative...

There's also the little matter of Laimbeer liking defense and physical play. Does that sound like DuPree?

Did anyone suggest Bone for DuPree yet? I thought I saw it somewhere. Aging talent for high maintenance but still young talent.

Bone for Dupre sounds like a Toxic Asset Relief Program.....

What's the status of Bone? Does Phoenix own her rights?

Bone is better than any backup they had last season, so unless they trade her to get Dupree back, maybe the Mercury keep her?

The RFAs are hard to figure out. I think some will see their WNBA careers end. Some stay on their current teams.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
Kelsey Bone (PHX) - the wildcard. depends who wants to throw money at her.
Sydney Colson (LVS) - can get a cheaper backup PG.
Stefanie Dolson (CHI) - max deal with CHI?
Amber Harris (CHI) - gone
Bria Hartley (NYL) - vet minimum with NY?
Tianna Hawkins (WAS) - stays with WAS.
Jordan Hooper (CHI) - three point specialist that can land anywhere.
Natasha Howard (MIN) - stays with MIN, though not on a max deal.
Kayla McBride (LVS) - stays with LVS, max deal?
Theresa Plaisance (DAL) - if Cambage comes over, I can see DAL letting her go elsewhere.
Odyssey Sims (LAS) - stays with LAS, max deal?
Alyssa Thomas (CON) - stays with CON, max deal?

Mostly agree except I think max money is not that hard to come by.

NY fans seems to undervalue Hartley, but teams won't. I think she gets max money.
Howard could also get max if she is willing to move.

I think maybe Hooper stays with the Sky and gives them another target for Sloot's passes. Wouldn't mind having her back on the Dream.[/b]

I see a team like PHX maybe or ATL throwing money at Howard which will force minny to make a tough decision.

No, she's a lock. Read through the Minny thread.
