DeWanna Bonner doesn't deserve a ring this season

I know objectivity doesn't exist in sports so Dream fans, have a day with this.

DeWanna Bonner spent pretty much the entire season on one of the worst teams in the league. Let's be very, very clear. She averaged 27.6 minutes per game with the Mercury. She wasn't a bystander in the team's mediocre performance all season. She contributed heavily to their poor play.

But then just like last season, she bailed on her team for greener pastures to chase a title should wouldn't have deserved, even if she had won or might win. Let's throw all bias out the window and at least try to look at this objectively. There's zero integrity in any of this. In fact, there's tons of whatever the opposite of integrity is. It's disgusting to me.

People who like to rationalize to defend things that benefit them will say it's common for long-time veterans to be given an opportunity to chase one more title. Yes, but there's two very important aspects to consider:

1. It's usually given to the them at the beginning of the season so they can actually earn and deserve it
2. It's usually veterans who aren't capably of going to a team right before the playoffs start and affecting the outcomes of one or more series

Neither of those apply here. She was instrumental in the Atlanta Dream defeating the Washington Mystics as she was the player who got the Dream rolling in the second half of both games. And now she just scored 23 points as the Dream defeated the Liberty in game one of their semifinal series. Winning with integrity should be a thing.
