I don't think it was just passing on Glory for Hawkins per say but more so we have a certain amount of money to add 2 players at the same position and we need them to come in at this amount or it wont work. They offered all 3 certain amounts, 2 agreed and 1 didn't. It happens all the time in all forms of free agency. It is a reason some teams perform better than other. And with the new CBA in the WNBA as stated players will have to get on board and accept when their value is viewed as or not play in the W unfortunately.Ms. Hawkins over Ms. Johnson, imo, I just don't think so. I understand it from a GM perspective to some degree, but if "it pays to be a winner", then teams need to pay. By passing quality veterans like this will be a slippery slope for WNBA and the product it puts out on the floor. The league really needs to take a hard look at it growth strategies.
