wow...One no PG who loves to shoot for another no PG who loves to shoot

Does this open up an opportunity for Ketia Swanier to become Phoenix's starting point guard? Was that perhaps the reason for the trade?

 

[MilfordHusky]

It certainly should mean more PT for Ketia. I think Temeka was a superior scorer and shooter, but let's see what Ketia can do.

Great, we traded for Tamicha Jackson...I mean, Andrea Riley.

Now we really need a point guard in free agency!

I don't get it at all. From Mercury's point of view this trade makes no sense at all.

It's a strange trade unless there were locker room-type issues...

 

[JoePgh]

Or it was a money issue ...

Or it was a money issue ...

It is a big savings.

"Where have all the point guards gone....Long time passing..."

Yuk for Yuk
