A depleted new Seattle Storm roster will take the court Wednesday evening to begin the 2008 WNBA preseason against the Chicago Sky. Both teams bring new coaches to the sidelines (Seattle with former San Antonio Silver Stars assistant coach Brian Agler and Chicago with Steve Key, recently promoted from assistant coach after the not-so-subtle departure […]

With the NBA voting to allow a move for the Seattle Sonics, the Seattle Times has a timely feature about the fight and success to keep the WNBA’s Seattle Storm in town.
“Force 10″ is the exact point when bad weather officially becomes a storm.
And the group has been in the midst of one since finalizing […]

Continuing their signing frenzy — although we knew this was coming all along — the Seattle Storm re-signed all-everything guard Sue Bird last week.
Bird got the max (ahem) — $93,000 per year — so I guess she’s got that going for her, but she also […]

If your choice is anybody other than my No. 1, then you’re just wrong, but just to keep you waiting, here’s my list in reverse.
5. Iziane Castro Marques, Atlanta.
WHY? This move isn’t likely to pay as many dividends early on as it will in the future. Castro Marques is a veteran player who can […]

The Eastern Conference champions re-signed three of their All-Stars on Monday, keeping intact the core (sans Swin Cash, of course) that got them the 2006 title as well as last season’s trip to the WNBA Finals.

It’s a done deal… Swin Cash has been traded to the Seattle Storm for the 4th pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft.
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
It’s not often a team trades two top-10 picks within a month, but the Storm is tired of first-round exits in the playoffs (three consecutive seasons).
In January, chief operating officer Karen […]

I hope you got to watch the Shooting Stars competition, because it might have been the last time you see Swin Cash in Detroit Shock swag.
A report from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (based off a report in the Detroit Free Press) states Cash expects to be traded to the Seattle Storm when free agency begins on […]

While I haven’t really mentioned it here, I have a crush on Ruth Riley. Since I become a follower of the WNBA, I’ve always thought she was very attractive (not to mention a damn good baller) and the more I read about her and her activism, the more I think she’s a pretty nice person, […]

I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for the NBA’s All-Star Saturday Night.
My favorite competition is the Three-Point Shootout, but one of the events consistently gaining in popularity is the Shooting Stars competition, which brings together a NBA star, a WNBA star and a NBA legend.
This year’s field includes:
Defending Shooting Stars champion Detroit, including Shock star […]

Height will hopefully be an advantage for the Dream.
New coach Brian Agler shakes up the Storm.
Detroit reacts to loss of two players on expansion draft day, but the bigger news just might be Swin Cash’s ultimate departure.
The Connecticut Sun find it hard to hire a translator.
