Get Your WNBA Transactions - Feb. 1 - April 25

By Mel Greenberg

And so those of us getting organized for the coming of WNBA trainings camps have noticed that at the .Com the daily transaction file had not been updated since early March.

Considering that at the moment between the end of the NCAA and start of camps the signings beyond the draft along with trades is the one piece of daily action worthy of keeping track.

Just when the Guru was about to start organizing the team PRs to create a central file until the league internet adjunct got back in synch he stumbled into someone actually doing the work independently.

This list is lifted from the folks at lovewomensbasketball.com who are actually keeping track. If you look at this list at their site you will be able to click on each player and get the WNBA team release on background details.

So while you might want to jump and thank the Guru for this -- agents and others have been calling here -- thank them as the Guru does for saving him some busy work and he can start assembling the carousel file of college coaching changes in the manner of last year. That will take a while and at the moment the list is not as extensive as last year but new openings keep happening.

Later when July hits and the deck chairs start re-arranging in conference affiliation the Guru will re-vamp the AP poll history database and make you aware when that is done.

But for now, here is the WNBA transaction list going back to Feb 1. Some additional signings happened Thursday that weren't in their file -- the Guru did some updates from team emails and some refinements on trades to mention the full swap -- but it appears that by Friday the entire Thursday deals should be there in terms of their links. This does not speak to the drafted players so go to team sites for that information.
