Cappie Pondexter and Candice Dupree  were the most influential player switching teams a year ago.

Who is it this year? Katie Smith (15.2 PPG, to Seattle)? Tangela Smith (11.5 PPG, to Indiana)? Marie Ferdinand-Harris (10.2 PPG, to Phoenix)? Nakia Sanford (6.6 PPG, to Phoenix)?

Phoenix retained their starting four (Dupree-Taurasi-Taylor-Johnson) who have on average 6.5 years of WNBA experience each. They added Sanford at center, who is a veteran player herself (8 years). Plus Marie Ferdinand-Harris (9 years). Plus Kara Braxton (6 years) who obviously was added before the offseason and even played in the WC finals vs Seattle, but now she's had a proper training camp with the team.

To me, this team looks loaded and worth a shot at +900 to win it all. Obviously, Seattle looks attractive as well at +300... but price differential of 3/1 makes me like Taurasi & Co. better every time I think about it.

Obviously, I'm only looking more to the West as Seattle Storm dominated the league last season. Would love to hear your opinions about chances of contending teams from the East as well.

Don't be shy. Post something. For one, I'm interested in finding the best available price on Seattle and Phoenix to win it all. Looking for +350 Seattle and +1100 Phoenix

I'm in complete agreement with you..... Phoenix has by far the best value, but it's tough to see Seattle not winning it all again.

IMO there is very little value for Seattle at the +275 i am seeing at 5dimes right now.  Even if they DOMINATE the regular season again, it's tough to imagine they are worse than even money at start of postseason.  I would imagine there is no way Phoenix is +900 at playoff time.

Maya Moore is one of the best college players to come out of Uconn

How big was the wager (pinnacle) to move the line from 10.16 to 9.11?
