News Article: Britney Griner signs a one year contract with Phoenix...

[TIDE-HSV]

Sorry it's WaPo, so paywalled. However, the salary was $165,100. This is before taxes, agent, etc. For all the guys who were saying last year that she was so rich, she shouldn't have to go to Russia, when she was being paid more than a million a year. Phoenix was more like a sentimental hobby...

WaPo

Good for her!

 

[4Q Basket Case]

Do we yet have any idea why we traded Viktor Bout for Brittany Griner? Or why Paul Whelan is still in custody while Bout is free to resume murder?

I said it at the time, and say it now: Vladimir Putin must still be laughing about that.

Bout has been out of action so long, I doubt seriously he's a threat. The Russians wanted him so badly because he would crack and tell what he knew. As far as Paul Whelan, I don't think we'll ever know all the facts...
