Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4502187, member: 6620"] Kevin Pelton of ESPNw weighs in with his analysis of the trade(s) and what each team gets out of it. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/35454811/sources-sun-sending-21-mvp-jonquel-jones-liberty[/URL] A few thoughts from my perspective: [B]For the Liberty:[/B] [LIST] [*]From what I've read, the Liberty could still go after Stewie. Will this make NYC more/less an interesting destination for her? As much as Stewie knew Howard, Jones is younger and equally adept offensively and defensively, inside and out. [*]Thornton is tough. She and Laney could play linebacker in the offseason. [*]Do they find a point guard to keep Ionescu off ball? [/LIST] [B]For the Sun:[/B] [LIST] [*]They'd better core Brionna Jones. This was brought up by one pre-season pundit in her predictions (Athletic?) and it made some sense. [*]Tyasha Harris was one of many Wings PG's to be yin-yanged, so can't really say what she'll do with extended opportunities. Still, she's got length and talent. [*]Will Rebecca Allen blossom? [/LIST] [B]For Wings:[/B] [LIST] [*]Defense-minded coach is already showing influence getting Howard and keeping Valerie Burton as point guard to play defense. [*]Now, what decisions are made with the whole slew of others posts/forwards (Big T, Harrison, Charlie Collier, Bella Alarie). I could see both Harrison and Big T walking and keeping Collier to back up Sabally, who is injury-prone. If Alarie comes back, she could be a back-up for Howard on defense. [*]Guard/wing questions: what happens with Mabrey/Gray? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
