Contrary to Ms. Lieberman's report, Tamara Moore is NOT on the trading block (we don't use the "N" word in Phoenix, so I will refer to her as Ms. Lieberman).
 
Gwen Jackson makes about $38,000, locked in as part of her draft status from 2003.  Adrian Williams makes around $62,500.  Phoenix made this move to get a younger power forward who is a good rebounder.  Jackson had very good rookie numbers, and she has more offensive versatility than Williams.
 
Also, this move will allow Phoenix to offer Maria Stepanova the maximum salary (or close to it) for her September return.  Yes, it is true...6-8 Espionage Barbie will be back in Phoenix in September.  All of a sudden, Phoenix' post situation looks much better.
 
Jackson also adds to the Lady Vol alumni club on the Mercury, with Lisa Harrison on the sidelines and Nikki McCray and Ashley Robinson on the court.
