If you’re a WNBA player you should be begging to play with Chelsea Gray. My god she makes everyone so good. I’m sure Sparks will match any offer she gets but there are quite a few teams that could really use her (Phoenix comes to mind and with Bonner leaving they have cap space).

124-49 USA final
Ogwumike 24 pts, 9 reb

Plenty of minutes for everyone, except Bird, who sat.

Sparks won’t let Gray go.

Bonner can leave PHX, but won’t necessarily do that, unless you’ve heard something. Should start hearing about movement on Feb 10, when signings officially begin.

 

[Farney]

I don’t see Gray leaving but if I’m another team I offer her a contract that screws up Sparks future cap space (Parker and both sisters are UFA next year). I’ve read that Bonner is looking to leave.
