Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, May 04, 2003

It was big news when the Sun acquired the rights to Nykesha Sales, one of the greatest players in UConn history. Now, it turns out she might not play for the Sun after all. According to the Courant, Sales made $75k last year, and has asked for 80 this year. (Sales's agent was eager to correct the mistaken figures published earlier by the Courant.)

The Sun have offered much less than she wants; their offer would result in a pay cut of about 40 percent. In addition, the Sun actually yanked a pending offer Thursday night and then presented a lower one. Sales is not pleased. She may simply not play.
