I thought that at the time. He was being interviewed for regular NBA gigs. You know Ishbia, he probably is one of the highest paid dudes in the WNBA. I told my wife when he was hired he was over qualified, and it was probably a grab in case JJ went somewhere.
I get that! I watch every Mercury game each year. It's amazing how much the two franchises mirrored each other, The Mercury have been an older, less athletic, team, that turn the ball over a lot and lose games by beating themselves more than opponents beating them. Since Nick came in, they have been slowly bringing in more athletic younger players. This season it accelerated by bringing in two all WNBA players. They should be much more competitive this season than previous seasons. The talk is Dewanna Bonner may be coming back. She's older, but still one of the best scorers in the WNBA. I am more excited to see the Mercury right now, than the Suns. LOL.
Yes. But one thing Ishbia has shown clearly is he does not think about the future at all when making deals.
I bet he would have done it if the alternative was staying on the Wizards.
