Sue Bird is seeing the writing on the wall and wants to get in before the profits start rolling in and team valuations start soaring.

Probably depends where she is living in the summer.

I had a similar thought from the Seattle end. I mean, it's great that she's joining the ownership group, but it could be distracting if she's courtside all the time.

That means Nika Mühl made the team. No shocker there. Surprised

I just read elsewhere that it means Williams and Fankham Mendjiadeu made the team, which makes less sense to me.

There will be another cut somewhere.

The thing is, Jewell didn't sign that 2-year contract to do a rebuild with young players, she's here to win now. That's why they traded away the 4th pick in the draft to get LA to take Nurse, clearing the space to get SDS and Nneka. And that probably means they see Muhl as more ready to play.

Yes- I knew they'd have to cut someone else. I just don't understand where this other person was coming from with their certainty that the cut would have to be Muhl, Holmes, or Vivians.

I could be wrong, but I believe there is no other backup point guard now, outside of Muhl.

So if I am reading the cap sheet and roster breakdown article correctly

If you slot K. Williams into J. Melbourne spot you can keep any remaining two of Holmes, Vivians or Muhl but

If you slot Muhl into J. Melbornes spot you can't keep both of Vivians and Holmes without going over the cap so you have to keep Williams and only one of Vivians or Melbrone

in short if you keep Muhl you also have to keep K. Williams and cut one of Holmes or Vivians and if you want to keep both Holmes and Vivians you have to cut Muhl.

Correct. The theory might be to release one of Holmes or Vivians, then re-sign them later when their pro-rated salary fits in exchange for Williams. That was going to be a very short wait when I thought they'd keep Melbourne and probably replace Fankam Mendjiadeu. If we now assume they'd want to keep DFM and replace Williams with the vet, it'll be longer.

They could also risk releasing Muhl, intending to re-sign her on the minimum instead of her current second-round rookie-scale contract. But there may be more risk there of someone claiming her off waivers.
