A team can only core one player at a time. Does anyone know if a team can trade for a 'cored' player, if they already 'cored' their own player?
Edit: Found answer: See article

"It's not a tag that just sticks to the player, preventing a team from having more than one cored player on their roster. Like Griner, Skylar Diggins-Smith was also cored in 2020, in her case by the Dallas Wings. She was then signed-and-traded to Phoenix, which is perfectly legal because she wasn't the Mercury's cored player."

Other Cored Players: Fever - Mitchell, Seattle - Williams, Liberty - Stewart, Wings - Sabally.

Tiffany was a key addition for the Aces last year, and I expect both the team and the player would like to do it again, but the cap may get in the way. The Aces will probably be looking at 11 players not 12, and quite a few that are at or near the minimum. To the extent they do spend more than that on a key rotation player, the money might be better spent on a big.

One advantage true contenders have, however, is that they can sometimes get a player for less than they could get elsewhere because the player is chasing a ring. It happens in reverse as well, where weak teams in unattractive cities, or with poor facilities, that have lots of cap space frequently have to pay more than market value to get a player to go there.

With BG going to the Dream, my gut is telling me DT won't be back. But who knows with her?

I think it all depends on who else they can get in free agency. Adding AT is a start

What could have taken place if Tiffany Hayes had returned to the Sun instead of jumping ship then signing with the Aces?

And where will Tina Charles end up now? Wasn't she on a one year contract?

Would Carrington have emerged the way she did? Would they have traded for Mabrey?

 

[GCKSFN4L]

I don't think Tiffany Hayes staying in Connecticut would have made much of a difference. The Sun's biggest issue was their post play. Bri and AT are both undersized, they handle it well for the most games but in other games they got overpowered and out rebounded by the bigs who dominate the league. Another productive big could have helped them tremendously.

Kelsey Mitchell has resigned with the Fever

Kelsey Mitchell has resigned with the Fever

Good for her and good for the organization. Seemed like a lot of off season chatter that she was leaving. Which often turns out to be misinformed.

Free agency this year has seen a lot of big names move around. As of yet, I haven’t seen any move that makes me think a new contender to the Liberty/Lynx has emerged.

If they can get Bonner and/or Satou, it might be too attractive to pass up for Diana. That would be a title contender for sure.

Satou is meeting with Phoenix and NY.

Let's hope your gut is right.

I mean Vegas is one for sure Jewell and talks of a productive big coming as well. Atlanta has potential with a legit big for once and a depth piece in Shatori. Seattle, Indiana and Phoenix have potential based on who else they get.

Right move for both parties.
I could see Fever standing pat now -- seeing if White can coax Smith to play some defense -- and getting a solid contributor in the draft (Citron? Morrow?).

On the other hand, maybe a trade? Stay tuned.

 

[Stagnant]

I am keeping my eye on Dallas. I am ready to pounce on twitter if they give away Satou for a cheap price.

Monica Wright Rogers Will be GM of the Toronto Tempo

Has put in time in a lot of capacities, as a player, assistant coach, administrator, etc. (Solid player in college and for the Lynx.) She'd been with the Phoenix Mercury for two years, but this still struck me as a bit of a leap to be the first-ever general manager of a franchise. Is she a rising star or is there that small a hiring pool in these positions? Plus, the Mercury haven't exactly been lighting it up the last few years.

@azfan -- Given your knowledge, is there anything you can impart?

Wright Rogers tabbed as GM of expansion Tempo

Monica Wright Rogers will be the first general manager of the expansion Toronto Tempo, Klutch Sports' Andy Miller told ESPN on Wednesday.
