That’s not too far away so I’m predicting these reps for the teams.
ATL - Collen
DAL - Agler
IND - Catchings
NYL - KSmith

I hope No. 1 goes to the least deserving team as usual, instead of the team that just got a new owner.

I think the ATL owners are the most admirable keeping the franchise going without getting much in return and not getting much in the way of local support... so who is “most deserving” is a matter of perspective.

History suggests teams rarely consider need with the #1 (quite rightly too, in most cases). It's almost always take the best player, work the rest out later.
But yes, Dallas could potentially have to work out what to do with Diggins-Smith, Ogunbowale, Jefferson and Ionescu (if they took her) all on their roster. Surely there'd be at least one trade. |

I heard the Dream are sending Cazorla. |
For luck? You’re joking, right?

It would make sense to me, unless you think the Dream should draft Cox at #1.

The Dream aren't getting the #1 pick

I don’t think ATL get the #1 they won 23 games last year. 31 total with the 8 won this year. I hope IND gets it, or Liberty.

I’d say if we’re going by historical context, the only lottery team that’s currently ever selected a #1 Pick themselves was the Dream - once. Otherwise, it’s almost always rewarded to a Western conference team, or Connecticut. The Tulsa/Dallas franchise has been quite unlucky since moving from Detroit, but this year their 3rd-best odds are still better than Atlanta’s. So... I’m guessing 1. DAL 2. NYL 3. IND 4. ATL.
But I’m hoping for 1. NYL 2. DAL 3. IND/ATL 4. ATL/IND.
I want Ionescu to go to the literal city that I think fits her the best out of these four options, and I want Cox to stay home.
If Dallas or Indiana gets #1, I could see either trading down to #2 (so long as the other team doesn’t have it), though either team also might want the glory/marketability in keeping their #1 Pick & just picking who they really want.

I guess they were always hoping for the Cazorla/Ionescu reunion.

Secaucus, N.J.? Any chance that means the Liberty's new home might be the Meadowlands?
