http://sports.espn.go.com/wnba/news/story?id=2775539 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Shock traded Ruth Riley, the 2003 WNBA Finals MVP, to the San Antonio Silver Stars for 6-foot-8 Katie Feenstra on Thursday. Riley, who helped the Shock win WNBA titles in 2003 and 2006, started every game last season. But the 6-5 Riley struggled the past two seasons, and her double-digit scoring average dropped. She averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in 26 minutes and had only 18 free throws in 34 games last season. "It is always tough to trade one of your core players, especially one that is as great a person as Ruth," Shock coach Bill Laimbeer said. "This has as much as to do with cap considerations with anything -- Ruth has a max contract and Katie has two years left on her rookie deal. This gives us a lot more cap space to work with." The trade also gives the Shock the option to swap first-round picks with San Antonio in 2008. The 24-year-old Feenstra, from Grand Rapids, Mich., averaged 7.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in 19 minutes with the Silver Stars. Riley won Olympic gold in 2004 and led Notre Dame to the NCAA title in 2001. 震动队把 Ruth Riley交易到San Antonio 换来了Feenstra 也清出不少薪资空间 也有option可以和Sliver Stars交换08年第一轮选秀权 ESPN球评的看法 http://tinyurl.com/yt5wen Gook luck to Ruth!! --
