Probably the only cool thing about the Dallas Wings is that they singlehandedly set loose a fearsome, fun new contender out West, giving up the final year of Liz Cambage’s contract to the Aces for peanuts in return |

pilight,
Who is your team that's so cool and exciting that all WNBA fans should be focused on since Dallas is the not worthy of anyone's attention according to you?

Any article referring to Dallas receiving peanuts for Cambage is definitely not worth my clicks. I wish people with a platform would actually indulge into reasons why trades like "These" #Forced go down and how it normally plays out for the forced trading team smh. We got rid of the cancer lets see how this article sounds after the Olympics when Liz decides she wants to go to LA for sure with Candace for her last season in 2021 !

pilight,
I understand, you are not the one who actually wrote the article, however, the fact that you felt the need to post the link and start a discussion about it implies that you agree with the clown who actually did write the article!
For the record, they actually lost the game due 5-6 phantom fouls calls which kept Atlanta in the game....it was blatantly obvious the refs did want Atlanta to lose the home opener in front of the "tough crowd," according to play by play annoncer🤔🤔🤔

The refs are always concerned about things like that. They talk it over before the game (right after a league official comes into their locker room and gives them instructions on who should foul out and who shouldn't).
They then consciously alter their decisions throughout the game to make sure the predetermined winner does just that -- wins.
In fact, the final standings are already posted in a closet in the WNBA offices ...

ClayK,
Wouldn't surprise me at all....I rewatched the game three times already just to make sure I wasn't biased because my team lost, and I have no doubt about my statements!!!
