What Valkyries GM is saying about Janelle Salaün, free agents and offseason plans
Ohemaa Nyanin barely settled into her job as Golden State Valkyries general manager before reaching the WNBA mountaintop. Now a new challenge begins for the front office.
Golden State Warriors' Valkyries general manager Ohemaa Nyanin discusses her team's roster decisions and plans for the offseason. Despite being criticized for trading their top draft pick, Nyanin cites Gabby Williams, their free agent signing, as the reason Golden State won the championship in their second year. Nyanin emphasizes the importance of bench depth, stating that the team's success cannot be attributed solely to their star players.
Key free agents including Kayla Thornton, Cecilia Zandalasini, and Tiffany Hayes are considering returning to Golden State, but the team must also consider the role and future of Janelle Salaün, who was not part of the playoff rotation this season. Nyanin acknowledges the challenges in retaining key players and finding answers to questions about roster construction and maintaining their winning formula.
