I'm happy that Alana can continue her career and I'm also happy that another team is putting faith in her too. I've been clear that the Mystics should have let her go, so I do not have a problem with it, as Monique Currie and Crystal Langhorne are the priorities. Let's see what else happens in free agency.

Hmmm......

I wonder why they went for a 4 year deal? Don’t free agents typically sign for 2 years?

Did things go sour between her and the Mystics??

I think she must have gotten paid by the Mystics

the last two years and also taken up one of their 11 roster spots, even though not playing…

To the best of my knowledge

ownership told her that they had to plan this year without her in mind given the injury history. So nothing sour, but missing two straight years of basketball is not good either way. I also believe Alana was a max player, but a max salary is about 12% of the flex cap.
