Lisa Leslie is retiring! Anyone think she will leave as a champion for the Sparks, a/k/a "Lady Lakers"?

Question

The face of the WNBA and the "Lady Lakers" (I know they're the Sparks) is going to finally call it a career, and she can still play as well as any center in the league, even after having a daughter a couple of years ago.  Given that Candace is going to have a baby and will miss probably half of the season depending on when the baby comes, I think Leslie is going to give a super performance for her last season.  I predict she will be the frontrunner for MVP over Sue and Candace (if she plays 75% of the season)

Will be sad to see Leslie retire, for I been a fan of hers and the womens game. However, despite getting a bit older, she now has a family to raise, and priorities within the home come first. Good for her though. She had a stellar career, and no doubt is a future HOF. 
Wow, didnt know candace was pregnant. Is it a LA thing? LOL. Well she will be missed in the line up for sure, but Sparks can still do damage, but opens the door for other teams now also.

candace is the new "leslie". they picked her for her game and to replace lisa. they knew she was going to be leaving soon. candace can learn from lisa a little bit more and she will do her thing as she grows in the game.
