Finally the Liberty make a player deal. The Liberty have acquired Sidney Spencer from the LA Sparks. They also received an additional first round draft pick for 2010. Sidney is an amazing player so I am sure she will easily steal one of the 11 spots.
Here are my top 8 picks

Cathrine Kraayeveld
Janel McCarville
Essence Carson
Loree Moore
Tiffany Jackson
Ashley Battle
Kia Vaughn
The other players will probably battle for the remaining 3 spots.... I see these players battling it out...it's sad the league cut the teams from 13 to 11. i understand the economy and this was probably a way to save the league from destruction.
