SPECIAL EDITION: Tweets From Last Week - Twitter and the Braxton/Ohlde Trade

Twitter is a great place to gauge reactions to breaking news from around the world and WNBA trades are not exempt from becoming a twitter topic for fans and players alike. So when the Tulsa Shock and Phoenix Mercury switched centers, trading Kara Braxton for Nicole Ohlde and a first round 2011 WNBA draft pick, the twittersphere was actively discussing the trade when the news broke. Here's a glance at some of the thoughts floating around: 

From the traded:

Kara Braxton also has a twitter account as @kbz54, but has not been an active participant. Perhaps her new teammates will encourage her to be more active on her twitter account.

 From the WNBA players:

Plenette Pierson - @ppierson234 - So happy for my girl @kbz45!!! Love ya n go get em

@ppierson234 - Show my girl Kara Braxton some love Phoenix...

Temeka Johnson - @Quickdeuce - "@MercuryMaven: Welcome to the @PhoenixMercury Kara Braxton!" Yea KB

Essence Carson - @Pr3pE - @kbz45 wudddddddup?! Do ur thang out there! Ure still not on my level tho.

Ivory Latta - @IvoryLatta12 - Hope all my followers having a good day so far. Still sleepy omg but gotta go to this BB event. Def gon miss KB :( good luck to ya girl

Marion Jones - @marionjones - Here's wishing my fav big girl @kbz45 all the best in Phoenix.

From the fans:

@WNBA_NOTES - @j_lantz: wow at the rumour. I hope it does come true! I want to see Nicole be better/improve. This can only help her going forward!

@TheBeckster4 - @natthedem The draft pick is the MVP in that deal. Tulsa seems to view draft picks as currency and players as liabilities.

@Sparkbig3 - @PhoenixMercury: Kara Braxton was a steal for you guys!!

@Deangelo754 - @Sparkbig3 kara braxton is big!!! and tall

@Stareagle - Tulsa Shock continues to ditch every vestige of Detroit. Kara Braxton is now a Phoenix Mercury. #wnba

@Sincere8822 - @CDashMoney @ms_minga @j_lantz @bjyork @QMcCall3 @SwishAppeal @Stareagle looks like braxton went from the outhouse to the penthouse! smh

@PhxPeace - @kbz54 You're going to need to run more & tweet more to keep up with @PhoenixMercury!!! Goodbye "40min of Hell" & Welcome to "Run-Gun-Fun"@WNBA_Guy - Kara Braxton, welcome to the @PhoenixMercury!

@sunnydeefan3 - Kara Braxton? Seriously now?

@Diva2ude - Good Luck in Phoenix @kbz54

@ms_minga - Really Nolan Richardson!! R U serious! The Tulsa Shock has totally been ran into the ground!! U don't give up a player like Kara Braxton!

@DET_Amazon - @TulsaShock Yeah u guys officially suck now hahaha.. no Kara.. u guys r [edited for G rating]. Oh.. and yeah u can change the name now The Tulsa Turmoil ;)

@DET_Amazon - @TulsaShock Tell Nolan Richardson he needs to sit his ass in a rocker somewhere. Didnt he come out of retirement to coach? #GetThePruneJuice @lala0222 - Wow. Big move to get big gal Kara Braxton. I've thought for many years she could be just what the Mercury needed down low. Now let's go!

@ms_minga - SmH.. still in shock ova Phoenix trading Nicole Ohlde and its 2011 first round draft pick to the Tulsa for Kara Braxton.

@FLYY_ASS_NESS - Are you effin serious???? We traded Ohlde for Braxton?? YEEEEESSSSSS LOVE IT!!! I've always loved Kara...we in hea now...got a bench!! #wnba

@RPendergraft - @kbz54 Sorry to see leave Tulsa. It was a pleasure meeting you and I wish you all the best in Phoenix. Take care & God Bless!!!
