“Ends meet” is a stretch, as he said, but it 100% makes sense for her to play overseas. Yes, making $200K at 30 years old is a luxury but not very other 30 year old doing that can arguably stay at that salary, close to it, or make more for the rest of their lives. She only has a couple more years at that salary and then what? She, like all professional athletes, have to maximize their earnings during the small window they have. For WNBA players that entails playing overseas.
I am not downplaying the role she played in landing in this predicament but I think her heading there in the first place makes sense.
Regardless, I hope she is freed and that the Merchant of Death does zero to minimal harm upon his release.
