Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4337562, member: 1131"] This looks like a classic case of a non-contending team getting rid of its older (higher-paid) star players. Phoenix has made the judgment that they will not be a contending team in time for Tina's contribution to help them win a championship, so they might as well spend their limited dollars and cap space on younger players. Clearly, though, Tina would have value to a contending team. It's slightly surprising that a trade could not have been worked out, but then no other team wants to give up young talent even if it is a year or two away from being championship caliber. I would expect that Tina will be picked up by a contending team, maybe the Sun (who just cut loose Joyner Holmes and Jazmine Jones). [/QUOTE]
