Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
From today's post, which included a discussion about players waived yesterday:
Tulsa/Washington
Washington technically haven’t announced anything today, hence they don’t get their own section. Still, news drifted out of Tulsa that they’d waived recent pickup Doneeka Lewis, and various press outlets are reporting that they’ve signed Karima Christmas as her replacement. Probably the first time I’ve ever heard of someone being signed by a WNBA team before I’d even heard they were released by their previous franchise. It makes perfect sense that the two teams involved are Washington and Tulsa, who’ve both been an organisational mess in recent times.
For Tulsa it makes sense [...]
For Washington, who knows what the hell’s going on. It might mean that Alana Beard is finally on the edge of making a return, which would require ending Kerri Gardin’s emergency hardship contract, and they want to retain Gardin in the spot that’s now opened up by releasing Christmas. It might mean there’s someone else Lacey wants to bring in. It might mean they forgot how many players they’re supposed to have on the roster. At this point, I’d believe practically anything.
