Amazing what a difference a year makes.
Haven't been able to read up on the media day, but could it be possible people are reading into this more than necessary because of their perception of her?
They paid a 38-year-old (oldest player in the league) $185,000. She'd better be in that starting line-up!
This is why I'm not a fan of Ms. Getting Her Digs In. Rarely does she meet a low road she doesn't want to take. Complete opposite of Nneka, who's purportedly even closer with Quinn than SDS is but who has never uttered a peep publicly about the Loyd affair.
Some team will give her another shot, especially after her run in China and I am pretty sure she will do well in Mexico. Or she might just like playing in Mexican and other markets and skip the W all together. I just think that she should play where she is wanted and appreciated.
Double Ugh. That three-letter-word always seems to be lurking on the outskirts and hits at seemingly the worst times.
I actually think she could be a productive player on 3 teams Minnesota, Las Vegas, and
Interesting. Team and organization culture is important part of the success of these three franchises. While the three coaches and the veteran teams have the ability to try to rehabilitate I'm wondering if it's worth the risk return. Unfortunately every where Carter has been there have been problems.
I agree that those are teams with strong coaches and strong player leadership. However, Chenady has long since demonstrated that she can't be reined in. Her issues are, I think, pathological.
Yeah I thought she made a lot of sense in all three places. Minnesota really struggled generating offense in game 5, and their guards were surprisingly a part of that. But I'm pretty sure cc and c will did not vibe in Atlanta.
I think Las Vegas would be an ideal spot. Just because of the structure of the team and how free flowing they are. They just have competitive mindset but they just play loose and carefree. Not a lot of fans and experts like that kind of play. Coach Hammon is a players coach in the mode of a Pete Carroll. Of course she picked up some coaching skills from Gregg Popovich but she has her own spin on coaching. Here in Minnesota, I don't think Chennedy Carter and Coach Reeve would be an ideal match. Coach Reeve would try to put a saddle on that mustang and create a mess. For me, I think Chennedy needs to be on a team where there is mutual respect from her and the coaching staff and from her and the team.
Well, that seems to be the gist of the whole matter but I'd suggest Point Zero is the key and starting point of this going forward: "...and from her and the team." Given her ability to score points, Carter can help a team on the floor and most teams are going to acknowledge that. However, given how many teams have shown/sent her the locker room door, it's obvious at this point that Ms. Carter has an issue being with others.
Chennedy Carter would be a horrible fit in Vegas. Becky demands accountability and defense--two things that Carter lacks.
Respect is earned.
Vegas also gained a scoring guard to replace the one they lost. She's less than a year older than the scoring guard they lost (who is also in her 30s).
