Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, May 21, 2007

In case you missed it, the Lynx cut both Chandi Jones and Shona Thorburn last week.

Those were the two players they received (Sho via the draft) from Detroit in return for a certain legend a couple years back. Were there any remaining doubt, it has now been squashed:

Worst. Trade. Ever.

I liked Sho, perhaps in part because she is the only WNBA player I've ever spoken to. Chandi, however, was an utter waste of space, and as someone close to the team said recently, "a total loser." Her receiving a salary from a WNBA team made a mockery of the very idea of professional athletics. As fucked up as the Lynx organization surely is, she didn't deserve to be a part of it.
