Bill Laimbeer’s run ins with Swin Cash were well documented, and yesterday they came to a close, as Laimbeer traded away his best player for the fourth pick in the April WNBA Draft.
The coach and player led the Detroit Shock to a WNBA championship in 2006, but butted heads in last year’s finals before losing to the Phoenix Mercury. It’s not the first time Bad Boy Bill has sent a popular and talented player packing, as he traded Ruth Riley to San Antonio immediately following the Shock’s 2006 run.
You might be thinking, “it was just yesterday that Cash and Laimbeer were tearing up the league.” You would be right, and then some. Just last week, they were partners in the All-Star Game’s Shooting Stars competition. Maybe if Cash had just been money on that half court shot….
