Message: [QUOTE="bbsamjj, post: 4003421, member: 1738"] The fact that the Fever are horrible I think says more to do with that organization than the ability of the league to add 1-2 more teams, given that teams #4-#11 are all within 3 games of each other. In my mind, the Fever are the league outlier...and even they found a way to beat CT yesterday. I think it's odd you pick the Liberty as your example, when they have 10 players averaging at least 14mpg, all of whom look like legitimate WNBA players (Ionescu, Laney, Howard, Whitcomb, Onyenwere, Gray, Allen, Jones, Shook, Odom). Would an expansion team be bad at first? of course, it's an expansion team. If the league wanted an expansion team to be competitive immediately, I think you'd want to limit teams to only be able to protect 7 players (maybe even 6). Let's say they add one team and everyone gets to protect 7 players. Here is who could be immediately available: NYL: Jazmine Jones Atlanta: E. Williams Chicago: R. Hebard Dallas: M. Jefferson CT: Kaila Charles IND: L. Allen Vegas: R. Williams LA: Chiney Ogwumike MN: N. Anchonwa Phx: S. Cunningham Seattle: S. Talbot Was: T. Plaisance Potential depth chart of: E. Williams/R. Hebard T. Plaisance/N. Acnhonwa S. Talbot/Chiney/Charles R. Williams/Jaz Jones/Cunningham M. Jefferson/L. Allen I'm not arguing that team is making the playoffs, but it could be competitive (especially if/when they could add a Bueckers or Clark). [/QUOTE]
