I really hope that that's something we can do -- finances are the only reason that would be a challenge for us. Ashley has just been a great player for the Liberty. And just in my short season with them last year, you could see her value at both ends of the floor. Great lift off the bench. So it is my hope that she'll be in a Liberty uniform next summer.
