What are you guys talking about passing prime?🤦 KYK singlehandedly eliminated 3 years later, also Natalia just came as MVP of the league from year before after a phenomenal season. Also the year before, KYK played with Larson who was not past her prime neither
also it was definitely not a budget tied to 2 players
First, it's not 3 years, more like year and a half. Second, yes, KYK played much better in the summer of 2021 than she did in the 2019/2020 season. Not only did she miss more than half the season (in-between injuries and covid), but when she did play she was a shadow of her former self offensively, with powderpuff spikes and jumps. If you don't remember, and only speak in light of what came both before and later, you shouldn't pretend to know what you speak of. And third, if you are going to troll it, do it better than pretending not to know how to read: I clearly said "a huge part of budget" not "the whole budget". There were rumours KYK was paid somewhere in the vicinity of 1 million (in fact, it was an open secret that the amount of money convinced her to come to Ecza rather than return to Fener), and Natalia maybe around half that.
And finally, I don't care how Natalia played in the Brazilian league a year before; in the season she played for Eczacibasi, she played poorly, which even the most rabid Brazilian fans here will admit.
