Bleacher Report are reporting that Cambage will be traded to the Las Vegas Aces.
Not sure what the Aces are getting in return. MVP runner up last year.
For Moriah Jefferson, Isabelle Harrison and a future pick.
Perfect spot for Cambage! Music festival heaven!

Not over yet I've read, as LA can possibly still make a play for her. Not sure who they're willing to give up though.
Maybe Cambage could take up a residency at Hakkasan at the MGM since she doesn't get paid enough in Dallas

Haha, gold #895.
Vegas and Cambage could spell trouble, she could end up even more broke!
115k is pretty crap for the world's best centre in the best league.
They pay up to 1mil in Russia and 800k in china.
Not sure how she doesn't have any dosh though. Can't afford to pay her mortgage, Does she live in toorak or something?
Perthworld you're a fucken dickhead excuse my honesty.

#899 it's baffling since the WCBA in her stints in China ridiculously overpaid her. Although after being on that sort of pay level it probably led to the problems she has today.
The Hakkasan reference isn't getting enough love or people don't understand it. ♥
Please explain Perthworld! We all love a good cambage story
it is a reference to liz often doing some dj work on the side. a hilarious reference. liz dj jokes are so fresh and funny. I can't imagine why the post didn't get more love maybe people are still laughing so hard they can't compose themselves to post here
DJ work would imply funds exchanged for a
Service.
When its a white baggy or the like this isnt "DJ work"

#743928 no story (sadly :p); Hakassan is a huge nightclub in Vegas headlined by the best DJs in the world.
#743936 probably her mum.
#743987 LOL, nice one.

Protracted trade talks with Dallas Wings impacting Liz Cambage's health
In an Instagram story posted in the wee hours of Wednesday, May 15, the Wings center shares the toll the ordeal is taking on her health. She also threatens to divulge what has been occurring behind the scenes.

Appreciate that Liz wears her heart on her sleeve. Still thinking that LA is the best fit for her(and where she wants to play)
Congratulations!
Sources say the deal almost fell over, when the Aces threw in a DJ deck, a sandwich toaster with all the ingredients to make the sandwich, and 5 annual leave periods if any music festivals pop up in the US region that Liz had to DJ or ''Drink waters'' at.
Fair deal for all I would say!

Geeze that joke is funny. Someone should try make a joke about her DJing. That would really be funny. I would find that funny. Or a music festival. That would be funny.
Did anyone know why she wanted out of Dallas (answers without being hilariously funny would be appreciated). From what I saw she had a huge year and was really loving her teammates there.
Ok. How about some pingers? Liz can help
If needed....
Chill out greggo you grub, i think everyone is just a little tired of her attitude and entitlement given the opportunities she has access too hence the jokes
Is Liz Cambage the women's basketball version of Nick Kyrgios? Very talented, but a spoilt brat?
Yes, seems to be one in every sport these days. An Aussie with a bad attitude.

Nailed it #744433, and an even dumber version!

Agree with the dumber version, which is why I had to laugh when I read that one of the reasons why the Las Vegas coach wants Liz is because of her basketball IQ

Basketball IQ does not correlate to general (or academic) IQ. This general IQ is an assessment of academic learning potential based on responses in a test environment covering a variety of areas. It's hard to be good at learning if your IQ is in the low average or lower ranges, but you could still have a good basketball IQ. In all sports (especially team sports) there are players with outstanding court/field and game awareness. They just know what to do and when. Some of these players are also intelligent, but some are not at all smart outside of sports.

UTH, agree with what you say. I just haven't been impressed with her basketball IQ. Some of her brain farts during games have been totally stupid, such as kneeing from behind.
