Fever sign Belgium PG Julie Allemand to a multi-year deal!!

Allemand wasn’t an unrestricted free agent, like Johannes. She was drafted by the Fever in 2016 and it looks like they held onto her rights. The “multiyear deal” part is a little deceptive, I think. It sure got toad excited. She would sign a rookie contract which is what... a multiyear deal (3-4 years). It’s definitely not guaranteed though.

Yeah, 'multi-year' does actually mean it can't be a training camp contract - by definition those have to be one year. Unlike most of the foreigners drafted these days, it likely means she never signed the rookie scale deal and the contract is just her finally signing that deal. Although technically, if she signed it back in 2016 and just never showed up - which is now the standard move for most international draftees - it would've expired by now and they'd have had to have signed a new contract.

I like Allemand. Very steady PG but needs to work on her shot more. She has played really well for Belgium. She doesnt get enough credit for it because Meesseman is the big star. But that team is nothing without her

Be fair - without Allemand they have Marjorie Carpreaux running the point, and while that wouldn't be as good of a team, it'd be wildly entertaining .

The Fever send Shenise Johnson to the Lynx for to move up to spots in the second round this year and an extra third round next year. Most importantly, they get rid of her guaranteed contract.

If Johnson is able to get back to the place she was before her injuries, good move for the Lynx. If she isn't (or maybe even is she is) good move for the Fever.

Good move for Johnson, who will probably benefit from a change in scenery and moving on from a team that is moving on without her.

The only way guaranteed contracts would be a problem in this case is if they felt Johnson wasn’t good enough to make the roster and they didn’t want that to be a factor that might prevent them from cutting her.

According to MDB, Indiana only had 4 guaranteed contracts including Johnson and now they have 3. That could be a league low.

This is the last year in Johnson’s contract. I doubt that Indiana have multiple big moves coming this year that they needed to clear Johnson’s guaranteed contract off the books.

Gemelos’ Eurocup numbers are decent.
