Message: [QUOTE="Jumper33, post: 5294973, member: 12449"] I couldn’t agree more with this. This is the main source of my frustration in my comment above. The Chicago Sky front office, in my humble opinion, is quietly one of the worst in professional sports. Specifically right now, one could be forgiven for thinking they are sabotaging the organization intentionally. Ok, no they’re not, but that’s how incompetent they look. The Atkins for the third pick trade was…let’s just say ill-advised. Atkins is an accomplished player and capable scorer - when I say it’s a bad trade I mean no offense to her whatsoever. But paying that salary for a one year rental instead of getting the number three pick for cheap? It seems they thought they were actually an Atkins away from being a contending team. Then throw in the 2027 pick swap on top of that, it’s looking like the Mystics fleeced the Sky. They also handed a lottery pick next year (which should be a good draft) to the LYNX of all teams. Though they did get the fifth pick from the Sun. Then with their first round picks this year, took a draft and stash, Van Lith and Westbeld. With all due respect to them, the Sky are not looking like winners of this year’s draft. I do not hate the Sky, far from it, but I hate to see them being run like this! It’s not a well constructed team right now, but the worst part is they also traded away their future. [/QUOTE]
