Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, August 19, 2004

SonofOovy is reporting on the ESPN board that Chamique Holdsclaw does not have a medical situation, but is simply sick and tired of Washington Sports and Entertainment. He also reports that she will not play for the rest of 2004. SonofOovy has been wrong before (Gwen Jackson, Lindsay Whalen, Katie Smith), but he supposedly has inside information.

If it is true, I can understand the frustration with WS&E, as the organization has badly managed both the Wizards and the Mystics. Thankfully for the W, the Mystics have the best fans in the league.

What about a trade? Washington cannot be too picky, because Mique will be difficult to match in terms of equal value. However, here are the options, as I see them:

1) Trade Mique to New York for a draft pick and Christon.

2) Trade Mique to San Antonio for the #1 pick in the draft (if Seimone Augustus comes out), plus San Antonio's second round pick (which will be the first pick in the second round).

3) Trade Mique to Los Angeles for Delisha Milton-Jones (assuming she makes a full recovery) and LA's first round draft pick.
