This team can win the title IMHO with this squad. Getting Meesseman back is massive. She sat out last year but her game is insane right now. Getting Belgium so far in the WC last year is why she sat out and it worked. She really put the Belgian national team on the map and with her teamed up with EDD, it reminds me similar to Stewart and Howard for the Storm last season.
So these are my current power rankings of each team but they WILL change once all teams have confirmed their 12 players.
1. Las Vegas Aces: 186.2 (Laimbeer has to deliver with this squad this season)
2. LA Sparks: 178.9 (Great post players, lack some guards and a decent coach but they should be ok)
3. Atlanta Dream: 177.9 (They should do even better this year once Angel has recovered)
4. Washington Mystics: 168.3 (Definite possibility of winning the title but is Meeseman happy playing 2nd fiddle to EDD?)
5. Connecticut Sun: 165.4 (Will do ok without Chiney)
6. Chicago Sky: 162.4 (nice looking squad on paper, new coach needs to prove himself)
7. Phoenix Mercury: 157 (Taurasi missing 12 week from last week will hurt them)
8. New York Liberty: 156.2 (better than predicted by Vegas)
9. Seattle Storm 155.4 (Stewie's loss is too hard to recover from IMHO)
10. Minnesota Lynx: 150.1 (Maya is another massive loss you just cant replace her).
11. Indiana Fever: 145.5 (Will be better but still teething)
12. Dallas Wings: 133.6 (train wreck of a team with no Skylar running the show. Who knows if Cambage turns up)
Remember these will change as the days go by with roster cuts.
So here are the current odds for the future markets. Odds are in decimals
1. Mystics $3.30
2. Sun $5.50
3. Sparks $5.50
4. Aces $6.50
5. Mercury $6.00
6. Dream $7.00
7. Storm $12
8. Lynx $23
9. Sky $46
10. Wings $46
11.Fever $101
12. Liberty $101
Will wait for the final rosters before making a futures play but definitely interested in the Dream/Sparks and the Aces at their current value. If my Oz book gives me season wins, I will definitely play the Liberty and the Sky as they are undervalued IMHO.
What's up Aussie...great stuff.Look forward to a profitable season ahead.Be safe and peace
Ok so no major players have been dropped yet from their teams. A few rookies but team still at around 16-20 players so a lot of cutting needs to happen in the next 8-9 days.
Some injury news
Parker is expected to miss 5-7 weeks, so that's a blow for LA but they do have Chiney and Nneka. I still think they will struggle this season due to Derek Fisher being a horrible coach. When I say struggle, they will win games of course but I mean ATS. If we get those massive -10 kind of lines when they are at home, could be some nice teams to back.
Aerial Powers will miss 2-3 weeks as well for Mystics.
A new commissioner has been announced, she currently is he CEO of Deloitte. Lets see if she can turn this league around a bit.
The Aces and Wings were trying to do a trade. Wings would get Jefferson, Harrison and a draft pick whilst Aces would get Cambage. It looks as though its not going to happen because Jefferson looks to be resting this season and wants to chase the bigger cash abroad when she gets 100% healthy. Can't blame her, they WNBA pays not much more than $100K per season which she could make more in Europe or China.
Posting the current rosters and will update as players get cut.
