Probably because she's not "hot-to-trot" about coming back to the States (and fly commercially all over the country) to play for a fraction of the money she can make overseas. She's very comfortable there, and she has family there.
I know the Sky did her wrong. So you're saying my email will have no impact?Probably because she's not "hot-to-trot" about coming back to the States (and fly commercially all over the country) to play for a fraction of the money she can make overseas.

I agree that Sky did her wrong, and I'm glad she left there. I simply provided a chapter and verse about why Gabby may not have a burning desire to play in the WNBA right now. What email are you referring to?
It should be no surprise that she was also a fine mutievent athlete in track and field . Her heptathlon result from 2012 still compares quite well to the existing national age class record.
An earlier post referenced an email I sent to the Sun today saying they should sign Gabby.I agree that Sky did her wrong, and I'm glad she left there. I simply provided a chapter and verse about why Gabby may not have a burning desire to play in the WNBA right now. What email are you referring to?
Pardon me, I did not see that post referring to that email.
She and Seattle are apparently on the same page. The options available to her depend on Lyon's playoffs results and they are currently in first place.

Gabby is well-paid there. She doesn't need the money. She may also want to take those WNBA months to rest and recover.
The chatter I kept hearing from the Storm is they want her back: they are happy with what she did and they see how much upside she has for them.She and Seattle are apparently on the same page. The options available to her depend on Lyon's playoffs results and they are currently in first place.
If Lyon makes the French League finals, she, Sandrine Gruda, and Blake Dietrick will all be banned from signing in the WNBA for the entire season due to the new WNBA prioritization rule.
If they are upset, the original plan was for her to sign with Seattle, at which point she would be subject to a fine based on how many days of training camp she would miss. The French national team setup is asking for all of their players to be available as soon as they are done with their European seasons, meaning that they do not want their players playing in the WNBA until after EuroBasket:
23 joueuses dans le Groupe France
Jacques Commères (Directeur de la Performance et des Équipes de France), Céline Dumerc (General Manager de l’Équipe de France) et Jean-Aimé Toupane (entraîneur de l’Équipe de France féminine) ont dévoilé ce mercredi la composition du Groupe France pour la préparation à l’Euro féminin 2023 (15 au...
If Lyon does not make the finals, she can rest until June 1st and then report to French camp, but if she participates with them in May, she would also be banned from signing in the WNBA for the season. There would be time for her to sign with Seattle as long as it is done before July 1st.
