Message: [QUOTE="Lynx23, post: 3517719, member: 309"] Two years ago, when Kia was a rookie with the NY Liberty, Tina played like a superstar IMHO, even though the team had a poor record. I was disappointed in her play last year. She often took it upon herself to score rather than pass to an open player, and many of those shots were forced. They just didn't fall like they did the year before. Maybe Tina forced a trade (or not) but the Liberty are obviously going with youth at this point, so I have no problem with her moving on. I'm a UCONN fan and have always thought she was great, often underappreciated as well, but after last year (and having watched all the games) I felt her best years might be behind her. i guess we'll see. The NY Liberty is no longer UCONN South but if Hopkins can get the best out of his current players plus Sabrina, the future looks very bright. Durr, Nurse, Clarendon, Ionsecu, Johannes, Amanda B, Stokes (assuming she doesn't go anywhere as I don't think the Liberty are done with trades). Han, etc. Could be very interesting going forward, especially as older players begin to leave the league. The don't need another guard but they may have a shot at Walker who would benefit from minutes here and there off the bench with a young team and no pressure. [/QUOTE]
