Well it looks like tomorrow, (October 17th) the WNBA will announce that Atlanta will have an expansion team and it looks like Teresa Edwards could be the head coach..... that would be perfect I think since she went to Georgia and is a local star there and has coaching experience, not to mention has been in 5 Olympics!
So this means expansion draft so the WNBA will look a lot different next season but it will definitely be good for the league.
I think Atlanta will be a good WNBA city if they can get their fans involved the same way that other cities such as Phoenix and Seattle have (Im not saying all cities dont do it, those are just the two that stand out to me). Atlanta has a lot of women sports fans, a lot of colleges, a lot of hype... it will work.
I am also hearing that Atlanta wants in the draft lottery... you know owners arent too happy about that! Everyone wants a shot at landing the #1 pick and getting Parker.
I personally hate that Parker could end up in LA, but thats just me. I mean even that has its pro's and cons. Parker in LA could skyrocket the WNBA because Hollywood (singing Beyonce's part on the Jay-Z Hollywood track - "Ooh it's the lights (You blinded by the) Action! (You need that) Hollywood"), yeah Hollywood is right there and Parker has the potential to take things to a WHOLE NUVA LEVEL! Lets face it, CP was listed as one of People Magazines 100 Most Beautiful People.
But think about Parker in Atlanta. Not too far from Tennessee so she can pull fans from there, and well, Sheldon is there so it would be a perfect fit for her. So in all reality Im pulling for some miracle to happen and Candace end up in Atlanta! What a way to start a franchise!
All wishful thinking? Probably so on the CP3 being in Atlanta, but hey, stranger things have happened....... Margo Dydek's pregnant!
