Why? It envolved no change for LA. They wanted Plum and they got her. It was LV and Seattle that made it a three team deal.  LV wanted to replace Plum thinking they could repeat their last championship run. Seattle wanted to be rid of loyd and the Ace's were the perfect suckers. Loyd was no longer worth a high first round pick. It was Seattle that came away the big winner. They got a future superstar for an over the hill malcontent they were eager to part ways with. The Aces lost big time. Loyd could have been replaced for the salary she pulls down. It is not so easy to get a good,let alone a post player of Molanga's capabilities.

What makes Malonga so valuable is that she excells in all aspects of the game. She is a really good defender and rebounder. She also is a good offensive threat and will get better with time. The Aces do not have anyone who is as good as her ( exempting Wilson) in any of those areas. The post positon defensively is their weak point. They usually need to play Chelsea against a post player which she does well. However, a player with Molanga's length and athleticism is not guardable by her.
