An end-of-year reminder: we now know the complete WNBA schedule for 2008. The opening day TV game is L.A. at Phoenix (thus both putting the champions on the air and telling the nation that Lisa Leslie is back); the Atlanta Thingumbobs open at Connecticut (thus showing Atlanta how a well-run franchise looks); and the whole megillah will again take a month off for the Olympics.

Most of the folks we'll be watching next summer are currently overseas. Armintie Price has just learned she's heading to Israel; Chas Melvin and Tan Smith are are not, since their former team, Ramla, has realized it can't meet their salaries. Instead, Ramla will pick up Camille Little, with another American TBA.
