Swoopes: "It is what it is"

Earlier today, Sheryl Swoopes participated in an online chat with WNBA guard Katie Smith.

Here's a link to entire chat: http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=19258

Here are a few specifics:

Rich, London: Both of you are unrestricted free agents right now. Are we going to be seeing either of you on new teams this season?

Katie Smith: (3:34 PM ET ) Nope. Not me.

Sheryl Swoopes: (3:34 PM ET ) It is what it is.

Katie Smith: (3:35 PM ET ) Only if she comes to Detroit.


Nikki - Stafford, VA: Hi Sheryl and Katie, Sheryl I was wondering first how is your back doing. Will you definitely be playing this season? Also do you want to or plan to stay in Houston? Look forward to the great season. Nikki

Sheryl Swoopes: (3:36 PM ET ) My back is doing ... let me think of a word... spectacular-omous. Wondermaculous. It feels great. Better than it has in about three years. Nothing is guaranteed, but my goal and plan is to play this season.


Swoopes wrapped up the chat with this:
Sheryl Swoopes: (3:55 PM ET ) See ya somewhere! Thanks again for everyone's questions and be ready for the WNBA in 2008!
