The Sun may be serious about trying to get Taurasi. GM Chris Sienko says "For our team specifically, she's a marketing dynamo."

This is true -- Taurasi is worth more to the Sun than to the Mercury or anyone else. She could single-handedly make Connecticut a profitable franchise. In a well-functioning free market, Taurasi would end up with the Sun.

But the WNBA isn't a free market. There are several restrictions that will likely prevent a deal from getting done.
