I don't think that money was ever earmarked for EDD because I don't think Washington ever gave any indication that they'd trade her there - because outside of their core (and recently added backup FAs) Vegas have nothing to trade. Kierstan Bell and second-round picks just isn't worth the conversation. |
That could be the case, but it's what Sabreena Merchant published in The Athletic. I probably wasn't clear what I was actually copying it from.

| Yeah, I think there were a lot of assumptions that Washington would feel themselves obligated to take Phoenix or Vegas's pocket lint just because EDD wanted out, and Washington was like, "no, we would actually like value for her" and neither team had the assets to make the deal work.

EDD will look good sitting on her front porch. Rocking back and forth in a Rocking chair eating oatmeal. Retirement is the best thing for her.

Hate to say it, but if she want to enjoy the rest of her life with minimal pain, retiring now is her best bet. Like so many other greats, it's sad we don't get to see more of her silky smooth play.

The Mystics have signed Stef Dolson to a multi-year deal. The release notes she is a "two-time All-Star" but leaves out that she averaged 4 points per game last year.
To be fair, she's as good as anybody left on the market, but this is not a signing that is going to move the needle. At least she can hit the occasional outside shot.

The Washington Mystics exercised their option with Shakira Austin.
