Liveblogging the WNBA Draft

Unless Candace Parker’s arm falls off between now and the next few minutes, she’ll be the No. 1 pick by the Los Angeles Sparks.
I don’t think you can hold any of LA’s stats last season against them as depleted as their roster was.
12:05 p.m. - I don’t think LA can really waste any time unless […]

Yeah, she’s going to LA. […]

The Dream begins

So as I told you before, it’s official. The newest WNBA franchise finally has a name, colors and logo.
I was thinking it’d be a blue similar to the Atlanta Hawks, but alas, it’s sky blue with red (lightish red for any of you RedVsBlue fans).

Free agent season? Wabbit season? Neither.

Tuesday came and went without any new agreement on the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement, which means teams still cannot sign free agents.
The start of the signing period has been pushed back indefinitely while negotiations are hammered out.
It’s still not so bad… yet. There’s still a decent amount of time between now and the end of […]
