The Storm may need an entire new starting frontline for the 2009 season. Two-time MVP Lauren Jackson is questionable to re-sign with the team as an unrestricted free agent this offseason. She joins veteran Yolanda Griffith and little-used rookie Kristen O'Neill as the only unrestricted free agents on the roster. Storm vet Janell Burse (shoulder, foot) is questionable to return to the WNBA at all, according to talks earlier this season, currently preparing to play in Russia. Jackson did buy property in Seattle this year and has said Phoenix would "probably" be the only other WNBA city she'd play for. But the Storm can't core the 6 foot 5 Australian because it used that designation on G Sue Bird and Burse last year. Burse's designation dissolved when the Storm suspended her upon not returning in April. Bird's sticks for the upcoming season and under the new collective-bargaining agreement, only one player can be "cored" by a team. The Aussie, Seattle's leading scorer (20.2) and rebounder (7.0), said recently that having surgery allowed her to spend some needed time at home to reflect about her career. But the draining year-round play may have her thinking about taking some time off during the summer. Jackson still plans to leave next week for play in Russia with Bird. And as for playing in the 2012 Games in London, Jackson said so much has happened that she can't think that far ahead. She did not have her "final" session with Seattle me ...

Storm star Lauren Jackson still owns a place in Seattle and readily professes her love for the city and fans, so don't think her taking time to re-evaluate her priorities is anything about the Storm, teammates, the WNBA, money, or even media. Well, I hope media isn't included. When I interviewed Jackson upon return from surgery, she was as mellow as I've ever seen her. Losing the gold medal game to Team USA on a numb right ankle crushed her. So much so that she said she hadn't even let it all sink in. Since she's the type of player to zone in on one team in pursuit of championships she knows she can win, it's understandable that she needs a break. Seriously, how many of us could travel from country to country and experience everything from family deaths to championships and injuries and just keep going? I know I'd need longer than two weeks here and there. That's why Jackson, 27, was partly happy about her break for arthroscopic surgery. She was in Sydney with family and friends and technology kept her close to everything back in her second home, Seattle. "The Internet is a wonderful thing," she said. ESPN broadcaster Linda Cohn told me that "you should never Google yourself," but apparently Jackson never heard that advice. She said she did get bored one day and when an old friend brought over dinner, the two decided to start Google-ing away. This popped up, which I know most of you've seen: There's also this response: Well, aside fro ...
