No longer the perfect Storm
But the Phoenix Mercury offered the five-year veteran from the Czech Republic a guaranteed, three-year contract worth about $89,000 this season. It was a commitment the Storm couldn't match.
The Storm could have designated Vodichkova, a Storm original, as a "core" player, making her an untouchable during free agency. Each WNBA team is allowed to designate two "core" players.
Despite past trade interest for Vodichkova, the Storm didn't think she would be that hot of a commodity. Most looked at the 32-year-old's dip in numbers last season (8.0 points and 4.9 rebounds) as a sign of aging.
"We lost three of our top six," said Donovan, also the Storm's director of player personnel. "In black and white, that's ugly and it's unsettling. It's not the situation you hoped to be in, but the only thing now is to hope to rebuild it, and hopefully we've scouted the right players to take the steps in that process."
Burse added about six pounds to her 6-5 frame and now weighs 199. She's quicker than Vodichkova and is a strong shot-blocker. Her addition to the lineup means the Storm can run more in transition, especially with Brazilian Olympian Iziane Castro Marques, Donovan's early selection to replace Sam on the wing.

Hopefully Iziane can light it up this year... She was quite promising last I saw.  Maybe Lauren can get the 6' Brazilian to like Vegemite too.. Because as LJ said, she hasn't been successful in getting any American to like Vegemite

Where's your SonOfOovy arse kissing comments? 
There is a big clause in Kamila's contract so strictly speaking, it's not a straight three year max guaranteed.
Don't you ever stop master baiting? |

I don't get tired of it; I think Keegan's pretty funny! Keep it up Keegan.
On the other hand, maybe a few cancer jokes are better Admiral? What do you think?

I would like to point out that this is the same reporter who reported the Sacramento was signing Sheri Sam...so don't take her word as gospel, OK?

| Donovan is hiding behind her "couldn't match" statements. The offer from Phoenix didn't come until three weeks into free agency (as Phoenix was waiting out DeMya). Seattle could have signed her earlier for less, before Phoenix extended the offer sheet.

Good point Cam. I think some teams are hiding behind cap space, LA's is probably a legit claim, LOL!!!!

That pointy thing is growing in length. Disturbing implications abound...
Yeah, Seattle missed the boat on this one but they'll be fine in the long run.
BTW, who are these "people"? Have your delusions fragmented into multiple personalities? |

| Perhaps, Admiral, if you stopped creating headlines that would invoke disagreement from those more in the know than you, everyone wouldn't have to endure these endless pissing contests you and Cam have had since the beginning of the year.

I'm starting to think this is a blatant attempt by you to postwhore! Sorry dear, you ain't catching up to me.
Anyways back on topic, I think Cam summed it up nicely here |
