As a Sky fan, I am glad that this is over. Swin was in limbo too long. Just sorry to see that they traded her for, in all probability, nothing. Sounds like Clements may struggle to make the roster and the switch of draft picks likely won't matter either.

Swin at this stage in her career has limitations, but she was very important last year. She usually guarded 4s so that Delle Donne didn't have to bang in the post on defense. Sorry to see her go. Wonder what went sour between her and Pokey.

Swin calls Atlanta home these days so this is a good move for her personally. Her experience and leadership should help the Dream.

So where are UConn players these days?

SEA - Sue
PHO - DT
WASH - Dolson, Hartley
ATL - Tiff, Swin
NY - Tina
CT - Renee?, Faris, KGreene?
MN - Maya

I guess Ashja is technically still with CT.

anyone else?

Why the question marks on Renee and Kalana? I would think that those two are close to a lock for the Sun.

I wasnt sure where they were but thought it was CT.

I'd say that this makes the Dream a strong contender to take the East.

My understanding is that Swin wanted a multi-year contract which Chicago was unwilling to offer.

I know that's the internet scuttlebutt, but who knows if that's really true.
