Dallas Wings Waive Loryn Goodwin and Natalie Butler - Dallas Wings

 

[Kaizen]

Sorry to see Natalie has to go.
But I don't understand why Wings bothered to sign those two one month ago?

A month ago was the draft. Shouldn’t they draft anybody? The Sparks had about 25 playeqrs signed, the Wings 16. The Wings only invite players they’re interested in.

Not a shock to most of us who watched her play and loved her despite her limitations. But can't she still travel to Europe or Asia if she wants to play pro ball?

I hope she does.

Yes, and getting drafted to the WNBA and going through training camp is better for the basket resume than not getting drafted.

Bummer. I wish Natalie the best. One of my favorite players.

She might be able to hook up with another team, though at this late date, it might be a stretch. But she could also play "Down Under", as they say. Isn't the Australian season during our summer, their winter?

She seems to have played well in pre-season, continuing her strong performance from the college season.

Good luck to her!

She has the size and skills to make a roster overseas. WNBA is increasingly competitive with so few roster spots available each year. You have to be a really good player to make a final roster, let alone get playing time or having a career that lasts more than 2-3 seasons.
