So much has happened since the last time I blogged! Parker is pregnant and due in may, Lisa Leslie has announced that she will retire at the end of the season, LJ is still undecided…. trades have taken place, some that I didn’t see coming, and others I did. Lennox got waived from the Dream…. I guess it was kinda expected, but then again she was one of the few bright spots that team had last season! Swoopes was cut from the Storm in what seems to have been in not good terms.
I keep up with a lot of overseas ball during the offseason, everyone is playing over there and it’s cool to see all the players on different team and who is playing with who… however… keeping up with everyone is hard to do! Jeeez there has to be like 50 different teams that WNBA players play for over there!
The Russian SuperLeague is the shit though lol! When you have Taurasi, Bird, LJ, Miller, and Fowles on one team, then Hammon, Wauters, McCarville, Korstin, Douglas, and Lawson-Wade on one team, then Tweety, Cappie, Sveta, Biba …… you get the picture! The Russian SuperLeague is stacked!
The WNBA has now moved to an 11 man roster… which means there are about 30 players that you seen last season, whether on the bench or just in playoffs that won’t be on a team this season. It also means that if any teams sign rookies that cancels out one more player from last season. So how many rookies will actually make the cut from this years draft? Is there even a reason for a third round? Hell will anyone taken in the second round even make the cut?
The WNBA also decided to have an All-Star game this year. A lot of talk was going on that it wouldn’t happen this year. But… July 25th in Connecticut!
This weekend is the NBA All-Star game, I’m looking forward to the Shooting Stars competition Saturday night to watch Becky Hammon, David Robinson, and Tim Duncan defend their title!
And speaking of Becky Hammon………………. I am now the webmaster of her Official site, BeckyHammon25.com. The site will be launched very very soon, but until it is you can find a nice little note from her over there and she talks about her new hair color, being back home for the ASG, and some new pics. Sorry about the format it is in … on huge ass photo, but technical difficulties beyond my control made that happen. However…….. the new site will be up and running very very soon! Lots of new features and it will be updated often! lol!
