How did this turn into a Cambage thread?

Where’s Diggins going?

Hospital: Maternity Ward

Haha yes she announced her pregnancy a couple months ago I believe.

I think she tweeted a sonogram.

She lost her big-money job in China due to injury, so she may need the work.

Why would she risk injury playing in the U.S. again? Makes no sense if she is financially focused

I’m not really understanding the question. She could get hurt playing anywhere. She could get hurt in practice. Is she supposed to go through life worried about getting hurt? She played in the WNBA last season and didn’t get hurt... May have gotten worn down a bit, but next season will be easier. She signed a multi year deal. Why wouldn’t she play? I think she LOVES the attention she gets from playing in the WNBA.

If she is financially focused which she said she was at the end of the W season it makes no sense to risk an injury in the W when she makes her real money overseas. If she likes the extra attention in the W (which I think you’re right about) that’s another matter. She’s not from the states and she doesn’t need the W except the attn. Definitely not the money.

You heard it here first..Agler to the Sun and Miller to GM or vice versa.

Looked like the players weren’t dialed in to him like years past. Seemed like it was time.

Liz had her first full workout yesterday spotted in Australia wearing WNBA gear with a WNBA ball. Ijs #WFFL

Agler inherits a team that is in a bit of flux. Star guard Skylar Diggins-Smith announced she was pregnant in the fall after the WNBA season ended. She could potentially miss some of next season. MVP runner-up Liz Cambage hasn’t decided whether she’ll return to Dallas.

Do the Dallas Wings have a full-time head coach?
Coach Agler and Liz Cambage might have a mutual interest in Dallas: potential dominating force meets coach who could know how to maximize that challenging talent.
Hmmm....

First part of the Dallas equation: check.
Now we see if Ms. Cambage will return, as well.

Agler would be a perfect fit in Phoenix

Pretty sure both Griner and Taurasi are firmly in the Brondello camp.

Agler seems to be going to the Dallas Wings

Report: Wings to hire ex-Sparks coach Agler

I think he will whip that bunch into a top 4 team in no time assuming Skyler comes back from Maternity
sometime in the season and Cambage comes back at all.

Frankly I'm kinda surprised any of the foreign players want to play in the WNBA. Sure, it's good experience going up against the highest level of competition. But if they can make 5 to 20 times as much money playing overseas during the rest of the year, wouldn't they benefit more from resting their bodies for at least a few months out of the year?
