Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2373149, member: 6620"] I distinct remember reading a few stories that Tina wanted a "change of scenery" from Connecticut and coming back to her hometown of NYC certainly didn't hurt. [URL="http://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/10782769/connecticut-sun-trade-tina-charles-new-york-liberty"]Sun deal 2012 WNBA MVP Charles to Liberty[/URL] As per whether she'd want to play for a Laimbeer vs. Katie Smith, I found this article previewing the current season in which she was asked about using the triangle offense and mentioned all of the Liberty coaching staff: "When asked about the triangle, Charles, arguably the WNBA’s best player, said, “I think whatever Bill or [assistants] Herb Williams, Katie Smith want us to do, I’m all for it. They’ve been at that championship level. They know what it takes to win. I trust what they want to do. I will lead the way and everyone else will follow. "When a couple of writers smirked at her response, Charles demanded to know what was funny. Told that some Knicks players rebelled, Charles said, “We don’t do that over here. We’re family, dude.’’ Katie Smith has some pretty serious pedigree which Tina is aware of. I doubt the Liberty would've promoted her if their star player had serious reservations...and she's not a shrinking violet. To your point, it would be interesting to see if Williams follows Laimbeer to Las Vegas, chooses to stay in NYC to work with the posts and/or a different person is brought in altogether. [/QUOTE]
