Dixon Signed For Multi-Year Deal

It's not a surprise but should stir a contraversy.

Coach Thompson announced that Tamecka Dixon has been signed to a multi-year contract.

I know some of you are appalled, but I've made it no secret... I like her. She's fun to watch, and she came off the bench last year to average 12 points and 3.2 rebounds and assists per game. Stats aside, she added a spark (please forgive the pun) that we needed.

Team policy precludes the disclosure of the details, but I'm as curious as everyone else.I hope she proves me right again!

Hodges Gone

WNBA's newest franchise, the Atlanta Dream, had its expansion draft Wednesday, and among the 13 players chosen by the team was Comets guard Roneeka Hodges.

Right after Hodges was drafted, she was traded to the Seattle Storm for the eighth overall pick in the draft and guard Iziane Castro Marques.

Hodges has been in the league for three years, all with the Comets, averaging 4.3 points per game, starting 4 ganes ub 2007, and scoring a career high of 17 against Pheonix.

As a fan, I never knew whether to cheer or shudder when Roneeka Hodges entered the game. I'm fond of her, though... and wish her the best! (Photo by Jessica Kourkounis for the Houston Chronicle).
