One source said it's still too early to say this plan is "set in stone" but confirmed the parameters of what's being proposed. Part of the proposal might be that with a reduced season, the players would get 60% of their normal salaries, the source said. The source also anticipated that the players might have some counterproposals.

Well the acquisition of D. Rob makes sense now so I’ll assume she gets the starting nod.Aces' Plum out for season with Achilles injury

Laimbeer must be omniscient.
Yep. Plum was just starting to look more comfortable on the court in the WNBA during her third season in the league. One of the most diligent workers on her craft in the women's game, Plum is an easy person to root for. She will be back in 2021 and will be even more skilled than ever.

Glad I can maintain my
dislike 
for the Sparks and Aces. (No feeling about Indiana)Can the Dream turn to adding either Pivec or Cazorla to fill their backcourt roster need following Montgomery's recent decision or are both ruled out for the year via full year suspensions? I understand that there are temporary and full year suspensions in the WNBA. I believe that both Pivec and Cazorla had agreed to sit out 2020, but their playing rights remain the property of the Dream.
If 10+ players throughout the league opt to sit out 2020 for personal reasons, I wonder if the full year suspension status for players may be lifted for one year. Or, teams would simply look to the waiver list (like the Lynx did to pick up Megan Huff this week) to complete their rosters if they fall below 11.

24th Mystics Pick Jaylyn Agnew fills the Atlanta guard spot and 20th pick (Sparks) Mompremier fills the Jonquel Jones spot. This seems to be a free agent type approach.
Also, To fill the void left by Hayes, the Dream also announced the signing Betnijah Laney who last played for the Indiana Fever.
Stella Johnson rises into the Chicago Sky
A star for the lesser-known Rider women’s basketball program, Stella Johnson powered the Broncs into a dominant force in MAAC. She joins fellow draftees Joyner Holmes, Beatrice Mompremier and Jaylyn Agnew in getting a second chance at a hard-to-get WNBA roster spot.

She might end up a good player in the WNBA, just no room in Seattle with Stewie, Howard, Russell, Tuck, and the Rookie Magbegor who might be the next Aussie superstar.

With the COVID19 numbers shooting up in Fl and the percentage of younger people getting positive tests increasing , maybe they should look at some of those alternate venues I think they mentioned they were considering. 
& the vet Crystal Langhorne
I’m wondering what that starting lineup will look like for NY. 7 rookies... they’re bound to have at least 2 in the starting lineup and we know Ionescu will be one of them.

Nice veteran pick-up but not sure she solves the Cloud problem. I think they should try their hand with one of the waived draft guard picks like maybe Tea’ Cooper. What do you guys think?

Might be good choice, but I could see him wanting somebody with more experience in this season with championship potential.

They can play here in Greensboro.. The Coliseum complex has 3 arenas on site... plenty of good dessert places and Middle Eastern Food. Heck... if they can have a franchise in the middle of the woods in CT... they can play here for a few months
Who probably is the 11th or 12th player on the roster this year.
