WNBA Disbands Sacramento Monarchs

Filed under: WNBA

The WNBA announced Tuesday that it would hold a dispersal draft of the Sacramento Monarchs players on Monday, a back-door way of telling the world that no Bay Area ownership group could be found to take over the team in time for the 2010 season.

It's a sad day for the league and for those players. The league loses one of its flagship franchises and the players will all be finding themselves new homes.

It's also sad for the Bay Area because of the makeup of the Monarchs' franchise was almost tailor-made for a move to the West, one that would have maximized the team's chances for success.
