The Sky should have taken Diggins..she's a better overall player than Delle Donne and plus she would attract a crowd from the michiana area..bad move by the sky I think

Skylar probably got a better deal financially to play for Tulsa.

The Sky will continue to miss the playoffs even with the addition of Delle Donne. They have been one of the worst franchises in professional sports since their inaugural season.
