If the Bhathals are too broke to come up with the scratch to pay big money for Smith without parting out the rest of the squad?

They’re in the wrong fucking business.

Natu apparently wasn't looking for a huge payday either...The salary cap more than doubled, and we already lost Dunn and a longtime vet in Menges. And Horan last year. We have the money.

This isn’t NWSL 1.0. If paying a Finnish RB is too punitive for the new owners? They should get their money back and fuck off back to the NBA.

This reeks of your comments about LeBlanc not valuing Kuikka. Which I’d be fine with…if she has a replacement - no, an upgrade! - right quick smart.

I don't think it was about the money. Sounds like KK didn't value Kuikka and made that clear in negotiations, even before the sale went through.
