Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2689301, member: 730"] The question of whether she would actually play in the W for the relative peanuts the league pays is likely the major reason she dropped so far. The Sun drafted a Euro star several years ago and they are still waiting for her to show up. The salary barely covers living expenses for a Euro player. My other admittedly speculative reason for her falling into the laps of the Sparks is that Vadeeva made it clear to the league that the only team she would consider playing for was LA. Now I know that suggests that the draft isn't quite honest but I would remind those that scoff at my speculation that this is a league that used to hold the lottery selection draw (who gets the 1st pick) behind closed doors. That practice always stunk of a fix and the fact that the media (ESPN) never once questioned it just made the stink even more pungent. [/QUOTE]
