Seattle makes sense logistically as it'd be a similar roster to last year, but you'd upgrade Bird with Sloot (no disrespect to Bird, but Sloot is 9 years younger and playing at a higher level than Bird has the last few years. I'm not sure Seattle has the coaching and overall talent to realistically knock off Vegas in a 5 game series this year. Last year signing Charles midyear was ultimately a swing and a miss for the franchise and I don't think many see Quinn as a championship caliber coach. Seattle is likely still a good team and has a shot to compete for a title but has a tall order going up against Vegas. If both go to New York, the Liberty have the talent to match up with Vegas and you might as well pencil in those franchises for the finals. Starting 5 would likely be Sloot, Ionescu, Laney, Jones and Stewart with Thornton/Dolson coming off the bench. That compares well to Vegas's starting 5. Brondello has won a title as a coach, though the last 6-7 years in Phoenix was largely underwhelming considering she had 2 all time greats in DT/Griner and Phoenix was never a top team after 2014. I'm more sold on her though getting the job done than Quinn. [/QUOTE]
