Dream Trades for Chamique Holdsclaw, Gives Up 13th Pick to Los Angeles
From the Atlanta Dream Official Website:
ATLANTA, December 17, 2008— The Atlanta Dream acquired the rights to forward Chamique Holdsclaw from the Los Angeles Sparks today in exchange for the 13th overall pick (first round) in the 2009 WNBA Draft. Holdsclaw, an eight-year veteran, is returning to the WNBA after a two year hiatus.
“We are very excited to bring one of the best players in Tennessee women’s basketball history to our roster,” said Team President & COO Bill Bolen. “The excitement this will bring to our fans is huge. We think it’s going to make a big impact on the Atlanta community and the entire southeast.”
Was she brought in because of her talent, or because of her Tennessee connection? Is Chamique too much of a Milo to be successful on a struggling team? I don't know - but I'm damned excited about this news. We might have so many potential starters we don't know what to do with them all....

No serious milo fears. She is feeling good and ready to play for the hometown crowds. Exciting stuff!
Better to have too much talent than not enough talent! We could have a legit All-Star at every starting position with the exception of point guard (still a major work in progress). Welcome aboard, Mique! Atlanta will embrace you with open arms!
