What Storm Fans are Saying about Sherri Sam

[BJax24]

As you all know, it looks like the Monarchs are in the running for Sherri Sam. I think that this is a very good thing. This team needs a little shaking up in the manner of the Kings with Christie for Mobley. In my opinion the core that we have had here for the last three years is growing stale and has had it's run. For two straight years the Monarchs have gotten to the WCF, and have not gotten over the hump. Yolanda Griffith is one year older and she is our Barry Bonds. "The Franchise". If I were Whisnant my core group for next year would be:

PF - T. Smith (with Brunson playing, heavy, heavy minutes)
SF - Sam
C - Griffith
SG - Lawson
PG - Penechiero (although I have been pushing for a scoring point for years. But if Lawson is in the lineup, I can put up with Ticha)

Here are some of the comments of our favorite fans up north in Seattle, home of the 2004 WMNA Champions.


Czechchick writes.......Looks like the first "shoe" has been dropped with free agents. I'm a little surprised Sac.'s going after her. They have so many vets, they have to dump some to stay under cap. So them offering Sheri big money is a little strange.


Cressona writes.......Y'know I don't blame Sheri one bit for wanting to take the more lucrative deal, considering how little these women get paid to begin with. By the same token, I agree with the Storm's stance, given the salary cap and the roster priorities. I'm with CC7. The one party whose thinking I don't quite understand is Sacramento. I would take Tangela Smith or DeMya Walker any day over Sheri.

Scott The Administrator writes......This would be about a nightmare situation that I could think of - one of my favorite players, a player I've wanted on the Storm since I first saw her play, leaving to one of my least favorite teams (and I only have two teams I really can't stand) only to have replaced by DeMya. As for Sheri - I think she had a much better opportunity to negotiate with the Storm for a return next season than some of the other maximum-earning veterans. She had an off year last year but had a much better year than 2 or 3 of our other high priced vets who may be retiring anyway.

As for DeMya, if we do lose Sheri because of money, there is no way we'll be able to afford the Flounder.

Nightmare averted.

Most of the Storm Fans are really decent. But this guy has some real Hater issues with DeMya. So consider the source... Sheri is a good pick up. But we are gonna lost someone valuable in the process. I hope it is not Demya.

I still go on record saying that we need a back-up point and I am not hanging my hopes on the Chinese players Whiz wants to bring in.

Somtimes you have to give something to get something. I think a trade off Walker for Sam helps the Monarchs. The Monarchs have too many "4s" and not enough skilled "3s".

thank you! thas what i'm sayin! Sheew! why they gotta hate so damn much? whateva, they just hatin cuz they jealous n aint got nuthin better to do. I hope that we do not lose DeMya, cuz give it up, she did sum big things 4 the M's in 04. Sure she had a few bad games but, I really believe that 05 will be a solid yr 4 DWalk, a good year. If the M's give her up, they are goin to regret it when they see all of her success with her new team.
