Are the Connecticut Sun Headed to Boston?

Zena, Ben, and Sabreena discuss a busy weekend in the W: Phee’s ankle injury, DiJonai’s trade to the Lynx, and the potential sale and relocation of the Connecticut Sun. Sabreena and Ben share their insider perspective and reporting around how likely this sale is to go through – and the complications that could derail it. Then, Sabreena’s power rankings are back in action - and so is the Sabreena Scale, with an emphasis on the Indiana Fever and the Los Angeles Sparks. Next up, Ben and Sabreena enter the trade machine: who should be traded where? Who could be traded where? And why don’t more players get traded in the W, in general? Plus, Ben serves up another edition of Something in Common.
