 Posted: 02/25/08 10:44 am ::: Comet Offer Sheet - Perkins Resigns with Chicago |

| The Comets signed Jia Perkins to an offer sheet. As an RFA, Chicago will have the chance to match that offer and keep her. I expect them to do just that.

| That's funny because I was just thinking this weekend that I might could deal with the Comets. I am still hoping they can sign Swoopes but I was mostly thinking how they needed to shore up their backcourt and Canty or Perkins came to mind. I thought they might go after Canty but I would really like to have Jia on this team.

This would be a big sign for the Comets.
I think she would like to play for the Comets since she played at Texas Tech.

I'm not O][K, but 'practically anything' would be my answer. Dales looks like she might well be gone, so they can't afford to lose Perkins as well. Canty/Perkins/Price looks like it might be the 1/2/3 for Chicago for most of the season this year (with very little behind them).

| With Price being at Chicago, that automatically makes them my 2nd favoritest team....however, I'd love to have Jia in Houston. Man....that would ease my mind quite a bit. It may also help in the Swoopes/Thompson decisions - who knows. I'd think it'd be nice to have a floor general that you know could get you the ball versus having to create your own shots all the time. This is not to say that what we have couldn't be developed into something better, but the business side of the the game is winning NOW.....Just a thought.

| The Sky will not give up Perkins. Not only is she a threat at the shooting guard, but can easily back up Canty at the point. Last year Dom suffered and injury and Perkins replaced her brilliantly. I'd be shocked if we lose her. Houston may be able to work out a trade, but they won't get her for free.

I have a question that has been bugging me for a while:
If a player is a restricted free agent and another team makes them an offer, do they have to stay with their original team if the offer is matched?

| do they have to stay with that team? Yes - however, numerous of players have signed with that team with agreement of sign and trade.

| As Richyyy said Chicago cannot afford to lose Perkins. It's indisputable that they need her and that she is too valuable to let go for nothing.

"We are thrilled that she will remain in the lineup," said Overton. "In her two seasons with the Sky, she has emerged as a team leader on and off the court, and we look forward to the ways her game will develop in the years ahead."
"I'm excited to stay in Chicago," said Perkins. "It's been my home for the past two seasons and I look forward to spending the next few years with Sky teammates, staff, and fans. And I want to continue to help build a great team and bring a WNBA Championship to Chicago." |

Are do you mean their positions? Poor Canty stuck playing point guard? Sheesh.
