Williams will still be full-season suspended for 2021.
With that said, Williams really hasn't done much the past three WNBA seasons to merit a higher return. Great overseas play, but that hasn't yet translated to the States. And again, I'd guess that Wade probably likes the acquisition of Fiebich's rights more than that of Watts in the flesh, though we'll know for sure when rosters get finalized on Thursday.
Meanwhile, how LA decides what Williams' value is gonna be upon getting her contract extended, I have no idea. Good luck to them.

Just saw this:
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/sparks-acquire-gabby-williams-after-sky-put-her-on-full-season-suspended-list-193204194.html
I understand that she never really got going with the Sky, but I was under the impression that it was because she was being forced to play out of her natural position. Thought she did a decent job on defense, which is more than you can say about most of the team! If we didn't suffer from a height disadvantage so often, I think that would have always improved our positioning, along with avoiding key injuries.
Oh well, guess it doesn't really matter now. I'll miss her.

Dumb transactions deals have been a common denominator through out the Sky's history. 🙄

I don’t think this was one though. She’s pretty much contributed nothing to the Sky. Even with opportunity she always seemed to play like she was out of her league she had some bright spots but I don’t think Wade loses any sleep over this move .

I'm officially done discussing the Gabby transaction. It's over. It's done. I will say this. This season is championship or bust. No excuses. Go ahead and blow the team up if they don't win a championship this season.

When it happens I promise not to do my Charton Heston imitation from the closing scene of the Planet Of The Apes.

Gabby requested a trade in April once team realized she was gonna sit out the 2021 season teams pulled offers off the table

Williams did NOT force a trade, Wade is a liar and now a lot of people know who he is. Once you go down that path people stop wanting to deal with you. Every time he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it as he cannot tell the truth and when he is pressed by the press he starts making stuff up and changing his story. He is the Trumpian of all coaches, even thinks he can stop people talking.

Evidence? The "We Did it, Joe" post certainly suggests that she was fully in favor of the trade.
And, just to be clear, the Most Trumpian thing of all is to make unsubstantiated claims isinuating that you are a more reliable source on a given subject than literal experts on that subject ...which you are actually totally doing right now. Just sayin. If youre gonna make a claim like that despite overwhelming evidence, you kind of have an obligation to provide counter-evidence.
