They are still team property in a sense because the team can core status them (if they're still eligible) and then they can't go anywhere. GS can draft one of them and core status them if they want to guarantee at least 1 year of a name player to build the team around, or they can wait until free agency, but then they need to convince the player to pick them over any other team.
Note that Bonner has been "Cored" 3 times in her career so she cannot be retained. I think in this case the Sun have no rights to protect her in the expansion draft as a result. So they could keep either AT or Jones (one player can be cored). Of course I can't easily google how many times each player has been cored, it is just publicized that Bonner and Tina Charles have exhausted their career limits and can no longer be retained in this manner. FWIW, an unprotected Bonner would likely make it known she doesn't want to be drafted by an expansion team at her age and threaten retirement.
Online, I’m not sure but here’s the schedule -
Couldn’t they have challenged that? If so, I blame Williams for not being more adamant to the bench to challenge.
That was as gut wrenching a finish as any game I can remember, men or women, college or pro. Felt as dramatic (and improbable) as the final rounds of a fight in a Rocky movie.
They were out of timeouts besides the reset, which can't be used for a challenge
I don't know. Stewart has all of the mental toughness and leadership qualities you would want in a superstar - but this is going to be tough.
She's answered the bell at every level. She's one of the all-time great women's basketball players and is a champion among champions. She was the no doubt alpha player on four UConn title teams, and on two WNBA championship teams. I'm not worried about her. Now whether the Liberty as a team can bounce back, we'll see. That was a crushing loss for them. I noticed that for most of the game, Vandersloot was fine shooting, but when it came to crunch time in the fourth and OT, she played very scared. Not sure why. Jonquel also hit a huge three in OT but missed a number of key shots (some of the relatively easy variety as well) down the stretch. She had a good game overall but needs to come through in those moments.
Yes - and I also keep thinking they're saying "Lady Hamilton" for Laney-Hamilton.
worst thing you can do in this series is get to a 15 point lead in the second quarter.
I've been the conductor of the Team Jones train all season. She's got the classic big-(wo)man game. Her passing out of the post is on par with the great centers of the men's game.
