Trading tickets

6th

I know that STHs can trade tickets of games they cannot attend for additional seats to other games.

I cannot attend opening night (ticks me off) because I will still be in IL visiting my mom. I also cannot attend the day game on Jul 24th. Now, I'm guessing that I will want to trade away the 2 Seattle games (Jul 8th and Sep 9th). Does anyone know if I can trade the May 2nd pre-season game if I choose not to attend?

I'm not going to speak for 6th on this, she certainly can answer for herself and I think she actually did explain why she isn't interested in Seattle games in the other thread.

If Yo wants to offer an explanation to the fans of Sacramento re: why she's going to hold up a Seattle jersey later today and try to convince Sacramento fans that she always wanted to play there and with Agler instead of finishing her career here, she's got open space in this forum to do so.

I'm not feeling the subtle and not so subtle foreshadowing and drops. Yo's been much more forthright than that during her time here.

I do not think that Yo 'wants to leave' SAC But if she wants to continue to win and grow. Both of these are not going to happen here. I did Yo's camp for her and I personally know that she wants to coach. Do you as fans think that she can learn anything from Jenny? Moreover, Yo has one maybe two years left. She has built, mentored, and carried this team, do you as fans think its fair for her to spend her last year or to in rebuilding mode? So just as with your own career, when the management of a company is going one way and you another, parting ways is the only right thing to do...

If that was her decision and the reasons behind it, that's fair and I'll respect that because yeah, that's within her right as it is any employee. If she's that adverse to rebuilding, she goes to a team undergoing a complete makeover?

But if those were her reasons I don't see quite see the disrespect or lack of commitment. I also don't see the Sac situation it as rebuilding quite frankly. It would have been transitional only because she was winding down.

She stilll has an open invitation to tell us why she's leaving here in this forum.

With all due respect, Yolanda Griffith does not have two years left. Because if she did, don't you think that the Monarchs organization would have come hell or high water got her back to Sac? Griffith at 75 percent is better than most post players in the league.

And why can she learn something from Coach Boucek? Unless there is something I don't know about. Based on what is being said, written and speculated upon, she decided to leave and did not give the courtesy to inform the organization, which is in her very right to do. She will be missed very badly , but the games must go on.

With all due respect, don't you think the organization would have come hell or high water to get her back to Sac regardless of how many years she has left?

Okay I am dying find out what MS&E could have or should have done to prevent Yo from leaving.

Was it about money? Was it about PT? Was it about the lack of Movement? Was she not getting along with Jenny? Or not getting a guarentee that she would get a coaching position after her playing days were over.

Not that I am defending anything that Whiz has done this off-season, cause I'm not. But from what I understood a place was there for her. We weren't cap locked, so she would have got paid. Now if that rationale is wrong then clue us in. What exactly did Yo feel like she wasn't getting. Did she feel forced out?

Yo made a choice to leave and I personally hope she does well in Seattle. But I am not sold on the notion that MS&E didn't step up to the plate. I am more inclined to believe that Whiz was secretly holding out that she would decide to play.

If you go to WNBA.com there is an interview (audio) with Yolanda by someone in Seattle. Judge for yourself.
