I'm in the "We Need More Scoring From the 2 Position" camp. Our top three scorers last year were the 3, 4 and 5 positions. FeiFei is a 3 and would give Whiz more options, but whether it's Mendiola, the other Chinese player who is a 2, or someone we don't know from the draft or a trade, I see...

Edna, to me, is a person who epitomizes courage, determination, strength and character both on and off the court. A leader by example, and the kind of player whose strongest attributes didn't necessarily show up on the stat sheet. A great loss to the Monarchs family.

DeWalkFan, you can rest easy. From today's Sacramento Bee: Monarchs will match offer to Walker By Debbie Arrington Published 2:15 am PST Thursday, February 17, 2005 The Monarchs won't let DeMya Walker walk away from Sacramento. General manager and coach John Whisenant will exercise his...

An article on Seattle's situation. Looks like the selling point for Sam was this was a three-year deal. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seattlestorm/2002181380_wnba16.html

We can stop the speculation about Sheri Sam signing with the Monarchs. She signed today with Charlotte. http://www.wnba.com/sting/news/Charlotte_Sting_Sign_Sheri_Sam.html

It's Official Monarchs sign Sui: http://www.sacbee.com/content/sports/story/12336214p-13203560c.html

HoopMatron, I can't believe they would core Ticha if they didn't have Tan locked up, would they? Also, I'm not sure I understand Whiz's quote in today's paper: "DeMya had several opportunities to sign for a lot of money," he said. "I'm going to keep Phoenix tied up as long as I can. They're...

DWalk, according to the CBA, an offer sheet is an "unsigned Player Contract that the New Team has offered to the player and that the player desires to accept.' (emphasis added) Looks like it means Phoenix offered DeMya a contract she wants to accept. Because she is a "restricted" free agent...

Helen Darling to Charlotte in a sign-and-trade with Minnesota: http://www.wnba.com/sting/news/Sting_Acquire_Helen_Darling-131975-681.html

OK, now I have another question... Just because another team makes a RFA an offer, does she have to accept or can she pass?

Thanks for the heads-up Hoopmatron. I have a question... Say, hypothetically, Phoenix offers her $60K. Can another team (other than the Monarchs) up that offer in the 10-day interim or do you wait until the 10 day period is over? And once the 10 days are over, if the Monarchs match the $60K...

Thought I would start a thread on what other teams are doing. First up, Detroit signed a 6'5" center from the bronze-medal Russian team. http://www.wnba.com/shock/news/transactions_050209.html

Same as last season - Kara.[/color] I would love to trade her for a draft pick, or trade her and our draft pick for a higher draft pick or decent role player. Worst case scenario, she can be the designated IR. [color=darkred][color=#000000] I'm not completely clear on what you mean by this...

HoopMatron, thanks for the news. It at least explains the change in the core designation. On the first issue of coring Ticha, it makes me wonder whether the Monarchs were not willing to pay the max, or whether Ticha wanted to go. If they were not willing to pay the max, why core her unless...

Tan Update Tangela has returned to the U.S. to have her knee scoped. She has had nagging problems with it and it hasn't gone away. She plans to return to Poland for the playoffs. P.S. Would it be terrible of me to hope that Tan's team doesn't make the playoffs so she would have to stay here...

A quick update (assuming my conversation of kilograms and centimeters is correct) Miao is listed as a shooting guard, is 23 years old, 5'9" and 149 pounds. Sui is 26 years old, 5'11" and 158 pounds. According to the newspaper: "There is an important career boost for China's Sui Feifei, who...

Luv13, thanks for the update! I have to say I'm a little surprised with the signing of the two Chinese players. I read the article to say that Sui is a small forward and league MVP, Miao is a guard and the "Queen of Points". Certainly looks promising on paper, however it seems like they won't be...

I think there are a lot of ways to go, and I agree with HM that I would like to see as little disruption of the old team as possible. Someone like Sam could make a big difference without giving up too much. Rein, I assume you don't want the 135 page copy of the WNBA Collective Bagaining...
