Van's comments on point guard...

[comets979899]

chronicle paraphases Van's statements that no one at practice has stepped up to take the lead for the starting point guard position. i don't know about you guy's...but this concerns me. the chronicle is reporting that Tzekova did sign a new contract for about 35k ( a league insult ) and will report to camp as soon as her visa is approved ( which could be...who knows when! ). i take this to mean that Janeth will probably get the nod for the starting pg position. i hope Amaya is ready for sixth man duty...she got some big shoes to fill.

There is something wrong with a salary system that pays first-year players more than established players.

If I were Tsekova (?) or any player offered less money than a draft pick, with more experience than first-year players, and in Tsekova's situation, a contributor to a championship effort, I'd sue the league for an equity adjustment on salary.

i agree,...i know that average season ticket sales are only give/take a little around 5,000 league wide ( i think here in houston were at a little better than 7,000 last i heard anything about it ). i don't want to lose the league, like in the abl with salaries running around the six figures mark and the league fold up in less than three years, but i think the league could do a little better than their doing at the moment.

In Washington, things looked good attendance wise. For the Pre-season game they had a very active and full crowd. There was a lot of energy. I can't really guess how many were there, but I'd say at the very least 8,000!
