Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2166579, member: 5798"] “[B]We weren't going into draft day to make a trade,” [/B]Riley said. “We evaluated a lot of options prior to and [B]we headed into draft day with Kelsey as who we wanted.[/B]” And Riley said the team plans on having Plum as one of the cornerstones of the franchise for years to come. Sure, 10 days after the draft and no takers (for the price the Stars were asking). Really?!? Then why was she on the phone playing "[B]Monty Hall[/B]" with several other teams?? Riley is speaking out of both sides of her mouth. You don't engage in trade talks for players you want to keep and have no intention of trading. I'll bet the Storm never entertained a single offer for Stewart last year. Well, she's got Plum now, might as well make the best of it. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. I think in time, Plum will endure herself to her teammates, management, and Stars fans everywhere. The first pick in the draft is usually game ready when they come into the league. IMO, the transition time for Plum will be minimal. She'll make a few extra $$$ on the side in local and national endorsements, but not nearly as much had she wound up in Seattle. You can never have too many good/great guards that can put the ball in the basket on regular basis. That's like having too much money. :eek: [/QUOTE]
