I'm also not sure but what Mack would beat out Hebard if it comes down to either or... I think she's demonstrably better defensively, so if that's what Wade is looking for...

I will not say who will make the squad or who won't make the squad anymore. I will say that if Wade is truly serious about winning the championship this season he should retain the best players. Court production should be placed at the highest value over name recognition or popularity.

The bosses seem to like Mack.

Bridget Pettis used to tell stories about games in the Italian League, when teammates would smoke in the locker room during halftime.

I used to know professional dancers who smoked. They thought it kept their weight down.

Because they paid Dolson too much and now don't have cap room for Gabby. Razz

French National Team Commitments. She was going to prepare for with the French national team where she's a shoe in to make the team. Then play in the Olympics. Gabby probably was only gonna play in maybe 12 games this year. With this full suspension it takes her salary off of Chicago's capspace so they can sign another player in training camp

Bummer, man...I was hoping this would be the year she finally was slotted where she could be most effective.

Still stuck with Dolson. Will that 30 lb. weight loss be accompanied by greater fitness overall - more hustle and fewer fouls? Hope spring eternal, but I kinda doubt it.

Still behind too many players in the depth chart to be effective.

Also Gabby played a similar role with Sopron overseas. She handled the ball quite a bit

The Los Angeles Sparks have acquired Gabby Williams from the Chicago Sky in exchange for Stephanie Watts and the rights to Leonie Fiebich. A contract extension for Williams is imminent.

Wade really didn’t want her for accepting that. Basically kicked her ass out Laughing

But also on the flip side, she hasn’t proven to be worth much lol

Not peanuts! Laughing

Watts is still gonna get waived on Thursday, right? Just by Chicago and not LA? Embarassed

Definitely sold themselves short unless it was just a salary dump. I think the roster has potential. Should end up something like:

Vandersloot/Heal
Quigley/Brown
Deshields/Copper
Parker/Stevens
Dolson/Ndour/Hebard or Mack(I go Hebard unless Mack has greatly advanced her skills at camp)

(Prince or Boyd if they have the money)

Definitely should make playoffs, could make a run depending on injuries and hot streaks

Why make the trade unless Wade likes Watts enough to keep her? You might as well just hold on to Williams's rights until next year and see what you can get in sign-and-trade. Wade looks completely ridiculous for making this deal unless Watts sticks on the roster.

Or he likes Leonie Fiebich enough and needed LA to throw something else in. Laughing But seriously, with his connectivity to the overseas Leagues, he probably has some familiarity with Fiebich's game. And how does Watts make this roster when she'd theoretically have to somehow beat out veteran guards like Boyd(-Jones) or Brown?

Crash and Burn. This will be the sound of the Chicago team at the end of the season. The exact same sound of a jet falling out of the sky.
