Rantings of an Insane Platypus - 23rd April 2004 (part deux)
Friday 23 April 2004
Valerie King to the Monarchs - the Monarchs do need someone who can shoot it but King probably doesn't have the speed to stay in the WNBA.
Candace Sutton to the Sparks - what is it with undrafted posts and L.A? With Bjorklund and Turner already there, Sutton doesn't have much of a chance.
The Liberty's bunch of players - a good bunch here for the Libs to look at. Oliver is a solid post who has range. There's a decent chance she could make the roster especially if Whitmore goes and Baranova stays at home (both looking likely). McDivitt has a nice outside shot but probably can't get it off in the WNBA and there's already too many guards better than her in the Libs training camp. Ndeye Ndiaye? Yes, she is Astou Ndiaye-Diatta's sister. She's a 6'3" post who has averages of 16.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 blocks a game and shot 60% from the field. Ndeye emulated her sister's achievements in her senior year (led Southern Nazarene to the title and won Final Four MVP) and well, she sounds just like Astou! If Astou is anything to go by, Ndeye definitely shouldn't be overlooked. Might be a bit of a project though. Go here to learn a bit more about her. Last but not least, the Liberty signed local high school legend Niesha Butler. Butler had a great career in high school (all-time leading scorer in NY region high schools) but fizzled at Georgia Tech. No doubt she has the talent but there are questions about her attitude (is she team oriented?) and her commitment to defence.
Mandisa Stevenson to SASS - Stevenson was a solid defensive post at Auburn. There's a chance she could stick on the roster. She'll be competing with players like Jessie Hicks, Kym Hope, Cindy Dallas and Erin Batth. I think Crawley will make the roster as primary post backup.
If the Lynx fold, where should they go?
Since apparently the Lynx will fold because they didn't get an over-picked, under-sized combo guard who doesn't even fill their needs, where should they go? I have the perfect solution:
CLEVELAND
Why not? The Rockers folded not because the fans didn't care - attendances were decent even when the organisation became apathetic. They folded because GUND didn't care and nothing could be set up in time for the 2004 WNBA season. There's also a few good stories for the marketing:
* Katie Smith and Tamika Williams return to their home state.
* Suzie McConnell-Serio and Helen Darling return to the site of their first WNBA team.
Yes Cleveland will have to find someone willing to pay the large amounts needed to get a WNBA franchise but if someone is willing to do this, the foundations for a strong franchise are already there.
BTW, I was being facetious about Whalen but about Minnesota relocating? I think there's a real chance it could happen if nothing improves in Minnesota in the next year or two. They're probably the most lacklustre WNBA franchise at the moment. Some Minnesota people will claim that Whalen can/will save the franchise. Well there's still time to get her - are the Lynx willing to pay the price?
Can Seimone Augustus enter the 2005 draft?
After a LONG argument about it in the ESPN WNBA board (this thread being the most relevant), the legalese apparently says "yes". She'll graduate from LSU in three years and can apply to the WNBA to enter the draft on the proviso she gives up the rest of her college eligibilty. And the WNBA will most likely allow her to do so as if they refuse and she goes to court to challenge them over it, the draft eligibility rules could all come crashing down and open the floodgates even more.
Next year is a good year for Augustus to come out if she chooses to do so. She'd be an easy #1 pick and would add star power to a draft with solid depth but isn't top heavy.
As a sidenote, with the rumours Kara Braxton wanted to enter the draft - why didn't she challenge the rules? Either the rumours were wrong or K-Brax didn't want it *that* badly.
Comments
Ouch. Glen Taylor's willing to lose several million dollars net (due to the NBA luxury tax) so the T-Wolves can win; surely that's more than the Lynx lose annually? Tamika Williams has a new multi-year contract; the Lynx front office has been explaining their decision as an an attempt to keep a playoff team together. Hard to believe Taylor's even considering folding up the Lynx after this year, unless things get notably worse. Next year, if attendance is still anemic, then I'll worry. (And if they have to go to Ohio, why not Columbus? It's bigger, it supported an ABL team... and it has the dental school, right?)

You'd be surprised at what NBA owners are willing to put up for the men but that all evaporates for the women.
Columbus isn't a bad idea but Cleveland is a bigger media market and a fan base already exists there.

Keegan,
Our impression is that Seattle is currently the team most in danger of being folded or relocated, although I wouldn't be knowledgeable enough to offer percentages on any of them.

Give please. So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world. Help me! Help to find sites on the: Betting odds calculator. I found only this - euro 2008 betting odds. The nfl odds have been listed at online sportsbook for the opening week of the nfl preseason schedule. The top contender is the new york giants who appear to have everything on paper except a bookend wideout corps. Thanks for the help :eek:, Phedra from Palau.

I would propose practising self-complacent commercialise, let me explicate. You can get a video professionally made for around $47.00 97.00 (30-60 seconds) showing your brilliant desk drawer slide. You can even show how easily it is to destruct your challengers and blast it around over 100 internet video sites for as little as $5.00 per site to be done manualy!You can get keyword inquiry done for you professionally, describing the keyword words that will get you a adequate amount of search volum, yes with milder competing pages. Thank you for this article! I've just got a truly full source about how to get rich Essay it!

There is no way dude! My cousin is currently in his third year at dentistry school and all he ever does is study. He worked before dentistry school, so he has a lot of savings. I would suggest strongly suggest you opt for some student loans. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you do!

Another important advantage of the online pharmacies is that you get the medicine without anyone knows about it. In fact I would say online pharmacy www.drugstoregenerics.com is the best place to buy the medicines related to the sexual health ailments. The trend of online pharmacy is ruling the drugs market today because of the additional benefits it is providing to the customers.

genericpharmacia.com provide the customers with the drugs at the lowest possible costs because they do not have to spend too much on maintaining the physical shop and on hiring the person who will handle the shop. Very less maintenance and rental is required for the online drugs stores so additional savings are done here. Also, www.drugstoregenerics.com purchase the medicines directly from the drug manufacturer so they get the drugs at very less costs and the drug wholesaler doesn’t come in between. This helps the online pharmacies to keep the prices of the drugs at comparatively lower rates than the shopkeepers.
