How exactly does the league and/or Chicago gather players for the Chicago team? |
Expansion draft. Teams protect a certain number of players and Chicago can pick unprotected players off their roster. I believe UFAs can not be picked in expansion drafts? Then there's the regular draft and normal free agency. |

If you don't mind putting a $100 deposit down for a season ticket, you will help make sure there really will be a Chicago team.
Then change it to a 6 game package when it gets a little closer to the season.
I'm impressed with the owner's enthusiasm as well. I think it will be a good organization.
Now if I understand this correctly, If Chamique doesn't "report for duty" then after the '05 season she's a free agent - can't be cored either. Is that right?
She could sign with Chicago as a free agent. That would be a nice start for the team!
Add Nikki Blue...

Now Slovy, don't get me worried...
there really will be a Chicago Team, there really will be a Chicago Team, there really will be a Chicago Team.
Got a cool thank you card and the CEO's business card for season ticket deposits... so there's GOT to be a Chicago Team.
Till then.. it's dodgedriving the 65 to Indianapolis !

Those tolls add up on the drive to Indy - huh!
After living in L.A. my whole life, the 65 is like a quiet country road to me - lol!
I got the thank you card too. I like the Chicago Organization so far. I've been meaning to send a letter back to the CEO to compliment her on their professionalism.
What section is your seat @ Chicago? I'm in 115
Se ya in Indy!

so the big question is: can Chicago survive tanking the first couple seasons so it can enter the Candace Parker sweepstakes? Bring the Queen of Naperville back home?

I'm going to do my best to find a job that leaves weekends and evenings free for school and basketball.
Indy is in Minn. on a TUESDAY!
Possible Slovy visits:
Hmmm... Sunday May 29 vs Sacramento.. am I obligated to root for the Lynx? lol!
Sat Jun 11 vs DC
Sun July 17 vs Conn (but Indy is @ Detroit)
Aug 7 vs L.A. (but Indy is @ DC)
(all of this is pending other match ups @ Detroit or Phoenix!)
I think I'll shoot for the one vs Sac in May!
As for DTS-Land, I hope to make the All-Star game...

But the best game I've ever been to is at the Target Center, what a great bunch of fans! Lynx beat Detroit in a close game the night I was there, the people (sth)'s were so very cool, we made instant friends there. What a great night!
We are going up for the Phoenix game in July. I want to see DT play, but you know I'll be pulling for the Lynx! |
Cool ChcgoFan. Glad you had a good experience on your last visit
If that was the Shock gm from this past July when in the last 10 min Vanessa & Nicole went off, ha that was an awsome gm. That was the 1st gm V got extended PT with Nicole in early foul trouble.
THAT was the first glimps we got of how dynamic a duo Haden & Ohlde can be. I wish that gm had been on TV because after that I couldn't stop smiling after seeing the rookies tipping shots, blocking shots, taking charges, setting real picks & screens, V's trun around jumper, that last 10 min they owned the paint. Ahhhhh that was sweet.
When does the season start
Ok, Slovy 5/29 for Sac gm & You 7/29 for Phx gm. Keep us updated
