Good for Saxton. I wasn't expecting her to make the roster.

The Sparks have like 6 combo guards. Idk what their doing. Respectfully.

This cutting season really is no joke.

Lynx waive Soule and Dantas. Looks like Dorka makes the roster (Yay!) but I am sorry to see Soule waived.

Results of the draft and rosters as of 5 pm today. The yellow shaded are draft and stash.

Maybe opens the door for Clouden to reunite with Miller??? He really liked her pre-draft last year.

Actually, they need another frontcourt player -- Engstler???

At least I got one thing right. I thought that Engstler and Soule would latch on.

Saxton seems like the kind of player that even if she was getting zero PT, she would never take a play off during practice, remain upbeat, and focus on improving and helping the team do so as well. A no maintenance player is not a bad thing to have at the bottom of any roster.

Looks like they waived Maley. Yueru won't be playing this year due to injury. They claimed Koné.

Similar to LA, a very guard-heavy team.

I "think" I will be watching the Sparks game tomorrow night.

Kudos to Saxton, but her making the team makes me wonder about Dawn Staley only playing her 16 minutes per game!!! Could it be considered coaching malpractice?

So does that mean that Allen accepted the minimum?

Now that the final rosters are set, who does everyone think will be the top 5 teams (in order) this year? I had LV, NY, WSH, CT, & DAL in that order, but I am probably replacing the Wings with either PHX, MN, or ATL after hearing about the DeShields injury (in addition to all of the players lost in the off-season).

They got a player in Kone who has the chance to grow on a rebuilding team.
The Liberty are going to regret waiving her.

Has the final roster for Phoenix been announced

Has the final roster for Phoenix been announced

I don't know about officially, but after they waived Thomas & Simms and haven't claimed anyone, it is known.

SD-S is out indefinitely (maternity leave) -- which explains the reason why she missed the end of the year last year.
I dunno if I can place them 5th. DT had some great games last year, but had too many games of hoisting 3's, many TOs, playing little D, and giving the Rasheed Wallace stare to refs & younger teammates. Also, another year older increases the likelihood of more injuries for arguably the greatest ever. Who knows how good BG will be this year? SD-S was their best player for most of the year and I can't see her playing for them. Ironically, they played some of their best ball without DT, SD-S, & Charles with Cunningham, DeShields, Turner, Gustafson, Peddy, etc. stepping up, but no Diamond and I'm not sure how the rest (except Turner) will mesh.

I believe so.

The Sparks have signed and waived the middle Samuelson more times than Taylor Swift signs (autographs) and waves (to fans) at her Eras tour. That said, as long as they sign her one more number of timea than they waive her, I'm here for it.

(And I love the idea of two sister acts on this team.)
