No one is (or should be) talking about her dream spot. The question is which of the lottery teams she preferred. Michael Voepel reported that Bueckers preferred LA and we should trust his reporting.
Rising redshirted two years, one ”player development“ year at Texas and sitting out another year as a transfer to Utah. Hardly comparable to a woman that’s suffered two injuries
i think that kind of a complaint is more against the system or the rules than the players exercising their rights under the rules. I personally didn't agree with the Covid year rules. I understand that good teams were denied a chance in the tournament, but many lives were changed in many ways because of Covid, and most of those people didn't get some kind of a do over. In addition 80% or so of the Division 1 teams were not going to be in the tournament anyway.
Why should we trust his reporting? Cuz, honestly, I don’t trust his reporting. I doubt many reports that are based solely upon unnamed sources.
Probably doesn't complicate the Fed tax form too much, although if you play in 12 different states does that mean 12 different 1099's? I can't comprehend the pain of filling 12 different state tax forms.
I think you are wrong.
Agree, Arike needs a strong minded coach , one that also can coach. She is one of the most talented players around. With Paige,Sabally, Howard, and Siegrist, not a bad looking 5. Again, all would depend on the coach they bring in, and Curt Miller is a pretty savvy guy.
And they would need to resign free agents Sabally & Howard.
That's exactly what it means, unfortunately. I worked for a company that was essentially a contractor, going into a state, doing the job then leaving after a period of time. We had to collect appropriate state tax, unemployment tax, whatever-local tax and issue multiple W-2's to our employees at year's end. If you earn money in another state, you (probably) have to file a tax return in that state. (Not all states have state income taxes)
Okay, I understand that you don't think Paige is smart enough to not state such a thing. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, and I respect yours.
Some professional sports have franchises in Canada as well. Travel up to Toronto for a game, and now you can add that to the complexity of a tax return as well!
If and when Paige is asked about the possibility of being drafted by the Dallas Wings, I will guarantee you that her answer will be some version of, “I’m not thinking about the W at this time. All I’m focused on right now is winning a championship with UConn.”
The players will be getting a new contract soon, and there may no longer be a number of things in it such as the ability to core a player. They also may opt out of being obligated to 4 years, before being able to move to another team.
They also may go out on strike, which would certainly upset the Apple cart.
As information, Paige was interviewed by the press pool today. She was mostly asked about Geno & CD, the record, all the alumni coming back. There was a question about the draft. Paige indicated, “I didn’t watch the draft.” When asked how she responded to the draft, Paige’s answer was, “I responded by having a good practice.”
Hey WNBA, if you don't send me to LA I am going to play professional baseball.
Yes I believe it does. No big deal for athletes making millions. But for a wnba rookie making less than 100k I would think a real pia and not an insignificant expense.
Fify
Don't be shocked if there is a trade. Both the Mystics and Valkyries could put together ridiculous packages.
That list doesn't mean a thing. Players are constantly moving every year in this league. This has nothing to do with Arike, You guys don't like her period!
