Liberty GM Reveals Why Brondello Was Let Go - LITE

👋 Hey, Hoophead!
The writing was on the wall. With almost every big star heading into free agency and CBA talks looming, this offseason was always going to be chaotic. But who knew the drama would hit right in the middle of the playoffs? Sandy Brondello’s firing was one thing, but Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb’s explanation has now silenced rumors that the playoff exit was to blame. Sure, that clears up some questions, but it also raises a few eyebrows.

Wednesday’s Result: 36% of you believe “Team Depth” was the primary reason for the Liberty’s 1st Round Exit.

Lisa Leslie has excelled at practically every level that mattered, and the way she bowed out was yet another reminder of why she stands among the greats. On this day, September 26, 2009, Leslie took the court for the final time. Having already announced her retirement earlier that February, she closed her legendary career with 22 points and 9 rebounds, even as the Sparks fell 74–85 to Phoenix in the Western Conference Finals and were eliminated from the playoffs. It was her last goodbye, departing as the league’s all-time leader in both points (6,263) and rebounds (3,307) at the time.
