This thread is for news/opinions for 2011 WNBA season. Even though the Sacramento Monarchs franchise is no more , we can still keep up with what's going on with the former Monarchs players/staffers and in the world of women's b-ball.

She was also three months pregnant when this happened. Thoughts and prayers go to Margo and her family (she has two young boys). http://sports.espn.go.com/wnba/news/sto ..read more

Four years ago today, it was announced that the Monarchs were ceasing operations. I'm still not over it. The Maloofs better not find themselves walking the streets of Riverdale, Georgia, is all I'm saying. And, as far as the rumored reason for killing the Monarchs? To devote those resources to making the Kings more competitive? Well, it's four years later, and the Monarchs are still dead, the Kings still suck, and the carpetbagging Maloofs are out of the pro sports business. So, how'd that work out for everybody ..read more

Source: Forbes.com This can only be good news for the WNBA: first time since the early 00's that the NBA has allowed them to negotiate outside of the deal that they have with ESPN and Turner, and they ink a deal that will put them on TV an additional 40 dates, and provides revenue to the league that will hopefully allow them to raise players' salaries.
