LJ to return to the WNBA

Lauren Jackson has been reported to be set to return to the WNBA, however as a Free Agent she can choose for which club she will play!

Apparently her chocie is between Seattle Storm (her old team) and the Phoenix Mercury.

ESPN Story: http://linky.com.au/6sog5

Which team should she play for?

"Jackson, who has averaged 19.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 237 games for the Storm, is an unrestricted free agent for the first time in the WNBA. She is currently playing with Moscow's Spartak Vidnoe, which competes in the Russian league and in EuroLeague."

Probably would like to go to Phoenix for personal reason's but she is a very loyal person and will find it hard to leave Seattle after all this time

As a Mercury fan, I too would obviously love to see her in Phoenix too. Surely playing alongside her good mate Diana Taurasi has to have a lot of appeal for her as well.

What probably doesn't help is us trading away PG Kelly Miller. Who is going to get LJ the ball now? In Seattle she has Sue Bird. In Phoenix she has? Temeka freakin' Johnson? Cappie "shoot first, ask questions later" Pondexter?

There are 2 GMs out there praying pretty hard right now. One of their teams is going to be pretty ordinary this coming season.
