The big Aussie won't be playing for Tulsa this year in the WNBA....she will be playing in China....saw this in the paper a couple of days ago.

I read on Fullcourt.com she is getting $500,000. per season in China

Plus it's not Tulsa.

500k? Done deal. Sign me up. China is closer to Oz as well.

Voepel's comment when it was announced was, "No surprise".

Tough for Tulsa. Can't build a team when your 'star' draft pick defects.

 

[Coler]

They should still make the play-offs this year with Seattle, and SA's injury problems this year.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Is that the same Chinese team that Liz played on last season?

Yeah it can be anyone's game in the WNBA with only 12 teams in the league and 8 of them make the playoffs.

Lets see - play for China and make enough money to have an off season, or play for chump change in the WNBA wear your body out andstill and have to make a living elsewhere. I wonder if there are more W defections in the future?

Of the current WNBA players, I would think that the older more established players, in particular, would be more likely to forgo the WNBA season, and earn real money overseas.
