Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4525392, member: 9844"] I think this is a pretty good analysis. From my perspective (Aces fan) I think the comparison of starting lineups is very even except for the SF or 3 position. There I think Jackie Young has a significant edge over Laney. As for backups, both teams after using most of their cap on the top 5, have managed to at least have three productive backups including a big, wing, and guard. Dolson, Thornton and Johannes for the Liberty and George, Clark and Williams for the Aces. If healthy those 8 for both squads should get the job done. The tail end of the roster is still largely up in the air for both. In each case those will have to be rookie contracts or vet minimums. I think for the Aces Rupert has potential and certainly Han Yu looks like she could be more than that, but while reserved her contract is up. Can the Liberty bring her back at a vet minimum? She might be too good for that salary level, but if they do it would be a major plus for the Liberty. There is also the possibility of vet ring chasers for those remaining spots. Someone whose market value is much higher, but a player who is willing to accept the minimum to potentially get a ring, so it will be interesting to see how those last spots fill out. Someone said the Aces for example will be left with about $23,000 in cap to work with on top of their existing contracts. While that doesn't sound like much it would allow them to replace up to 3 rookie scale contracts with potential vet minimum ring chasers if they become available. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
