Comets grant Kedra Holland-Corn her free agency

Kedra asked for and was released from her purported three-year, guaranteed $70,000 per year contract with the Houston Comets yesterday.

She still wants to play basketball, but not in Houston. I'm totally confused. I thought that's where she wanted to be all along.

Any chance she might want to come back to Sacramento?

$70K PER YEAR!!! That is a lot of money for the WNBA isn't it???? And she walked away . I have not heard anybody be $70,000 upset with Van Chancellor.

Here is the quote that gets me from Kedra. "(Friday's agreement) would allow me to play professionally and allow me to play where I want to play," she said. "I have no plans right now where I'll be playing, but I have my free-agency and I'm happy about that."

I guess that destroys the theory that only rich millionaire NBA players are spoiled and want their way. Why couldn't she finish out the season. The Comets ain't going nowhere, no way. With that said.....

COME HOME KEDRA, COME ON HOME !!!!

I like Kedra and all, but...we do NOT need another streaky perimeter shooter.

Agree about the streaky, but we do need someone that is a threat to put it in the basket. Plus, I think that Kedra can D up a little bit.

If it were all about defense, I'd be all over that because she is the best on ball defender in the WNBA as far as I'm concerned. But I've seen enough of the 5 guards on this team being collectively essentially no offensive threat whatsoever the first half of the season to get my fill of that. Her price tag is too high for a defensive specialist. I'll live with the two-headed defensive specialist Bolton Campbell tandem, right now I think collectively those two had better numbers than Kedra's had in Houston. While I do think something went on behind the scenes to cause her to be on her way, the fact of the matter is IMHO that Kedra is on the downside of her career. When she was here, she could not hit from anywhere inside the 3pt line to save her life and when she was shooting from the perimeter she was approaching the outer limits of streaky. I didn't see anything about her numbers in Detroit to change my mind. I also get the sense that she would not be happy with the role she would have in a Whisenant rotation. I think she was unhappy here with a declining role/minutes and that was a factor behind why she was moved to Detroit.
