#And what would happen to Penny? Pressured into retirement by her Brazillian ex husband?

[female-buckets]

2008–

DT: Um... I'm taking LJ next year lol

SB: WHAT!?

LJ: Yeah sorry mate

2009–

LJ: Actually... I'm staying in Seattle lol

DT: 🙃 k

SB: I mean honestly what did you expect

2010-2014

*various interpersonal and injury disasters*

2015–

SB: LJ's never coming back so that's the end of that. I'm on the worst team in the league. Your team can't stay out of TMZ. We should both leave our teams and join Tina Charles in Madison Square Garden.

DT: Leave Penny, BG, my family, and my championship team to do a UConn legend tour in New York? With Bill Laimbeer?? That sounds like a beautiful mistake. I'll pass...

2016–

DT: ...but there's always room for you in Phoenix. Join my desert cult. I'll even throw in a range rover.

SB: Ugh. I guess that's my best option. If I lose this lottery, I'm leaving Seattle and never looking back

Stewie: Heyyyyy lol you won the lottery Sue

"The only place we haven't played together is the WNBA, and I was trying to recruit her this year. But that didn't work. She just signed back with Seattle. I offered her a Range Rover; I was giving her perks. But she wanted to stay in the rain." (DT)

2020–

Clarke: Free Agency?? That's new! I like it here though. I don't really know what to do. Should I... go? Should I stay?

Howard: Yeah what should I do? We've won some championships together. But now I've got these meetings with other teams... what do you think Sue?

SB: ☺️☺️☺️ Just do whatever you think is best.

2022–

SB: ... Fuck! Why didn't I meddle?? Meddling always works! It worked with LJ in 2009. It worked with Stewie six months ago... so why didn't I do it in 2020?!? I lost Natasha Howard and Alysha Clarke because I was trying to be nice?? Meanwhile Dee's been meddling with Tina Charles the whole time!?!?!? Tina was my idea first!! Ugh.... If Dee just came to Seattle to play with me and LJ 15 years ago... If we had free agency back then... Everything would've been a lot simpler huh....

"I had the Bosh! I had Lauren Jackson! Dee just needed to be the Lebron!" (SB)

#Sue Bird you absolute madwoman... saying DT should've played with you and LJ!!!! Madwoman!!!!!!!! #You know you have to see Penny at Thanksgiving right??? #I can't believe that this of all things is what she brought up as her big career regret... DUDE!!!!! #I love her for it though #but like... what is the plan there!?!? what would that have looked like!?!? #Would the DT/LJ thing burn out twice as fast if they played together year-round? #Or would it last twice as long? #And what would happen to Penny? Pressured into retirement by her Brazillian ex husband? #And where would BG end up?? #idk... the DT/LJ Storm alternate universe is a freaky one #but they'd win like 6 rings though #sue bird #diana taurasi #lauren jackson #breanna stewart #wnba #seattle storm #ny liberty #phoenix mercury
