Great article about the next steps for the Storm.

The article touches on the salary cap, attendance, and many other factors that all WNBA teams are facing.

Would Janell Burse be helpful to the Merc?

If she stays healthy then she's deadly. She's quick and has loooooong arms. (did you see Game 2 when she caught up to Whalen and swatted the ball? Or Game 1 of the WC Finals when she swatted Lawson outta her shoes?) Problem is she has chronic bursitis and a hamstring injury that's been bothering her all year. Y'all might have more room under your cap for her than we do right now.

I don't want to see her go to the enemy tho. :P

Janell looked kind of out of it for most of the season. Probably due to her injuries. So I'd be leery about her.

Oh btw, LJ said she'd consider taking the next WNBA season off to spend more time with her family (no link sorry, this was in a Sydney newspaper).

Hope thats only a rumor, the Storm need her to defend their title.

If Janell is injury prone maybe we could get her for cheap, since we have the cap room

methinks Anne Donovan's Australia trip to sign LJ & Tully is to convince Lauren how much she's needed & change her mind about skipping the WNBA season (if it's not just a rumor)

Or she could be wanting to enjoy the Aussie summer and get out of the crappy weather in Seattle :)

LJ wouldn't skip the WNBA season. She loves it - mainly because it is the best competition in the world.

I think Anne's just there on a friendly visit. Maybe to do a bit of scouting? Hopefully she may have noticed Belinda Snell's new WNBL record of 54 points ;) 12 three pointers - wow! Those 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 9 steals aren't too shabby either ;)
