Diggins is gone finally
We now have Picks # 2 , 5 & 7 . Hoping Early declarers rear their pretty faces this draft.

And 9. It's too many. They have to find a way to consolidate some of their players and picks into upgrades. Otherwise they're just going to end up cutting people - quite possibly including whoever they'd take with a couple of those picks. |

New York should now try trading Tina Charles here, especially since an Agler-led Dallas team would utilize her at the 5, which is still a position of need for the Wings. No doubt the Wings will be making at least one more trade if not a couple more now with Diggins-Smith out of the way. Phoenix has no more real assets to be able to get Charles - Dallas has allllll of them now.

Dallas has been signing a lot of low impact players. The only team that might need draft picks worse than them is probably ATL.
#6 for #7 + #9? Only if free agency doesn’t go well.

Can't see Charles wanting to go from a rebuilding team to a perpetually rebuilding team.

True, but maybe everyone in the league thinks the dust has now settled in Dallas, and to me the Wings look further ahead of their rebuild than the Liberty, for what it's worth. With Charles, I'd guess that they'd be an offense-oriented team, but still led by a defense-oriented championship-winning coach. I wouldn't be writing them off so soon with Charles, but I certainly can understand why others still would.

And away we go!
1. NY Ionescu
2. Dallas Sabally
3. Indiana Cox
4. Atlanta Carter
5. Dallas Hebard
6. Minnesota Harris or Dangerfield
7. Dallas Harris or Dangerfield
There's more changes to come but why not bring on some controversy in the mean time?

Y'know what? Trading a Skylar Diggins-Smith who wanted out for essentially two 2020 single-digit first-round picks and Astou Ndour - that's really not too bad, all in all. Now, they need to go after a star player just to get rid of all those assets, they've got so gosh dang many... I suggested Charles but maybe there's someone else out there.

This is pilight’s way of disrespecting Ionescu.

Nah, it's a valid thing to wonder. If I'm New York and I've got Dallas on Line-1, I tell the receptionist to put 'em through. I first demand the whole farm, and see how Dallas responds. Dallas won't give up the whole farm for this year's #1, but maybe they give up much of it. They have a lot. If they offer a premium basket like #2, Stevens, and #5/7/Thornton/Gray/Ndour? I'd pull the trigger. This isn't a flat-out untradeable #1 Pick like Stewart or Griner was imo.

She’s a potential franchise cornerstone. That’s damn near close to being un-tradeable, IMO._________________

Dallas should deal some players. |
It's a much smaller list once you remove everyone who's worth virtually nothing though. Something like:
Jefferson
Ogunbowale/Gray
Thornton
Harrison/Stevens
Ndour
You're not getting much for any of the ones I cut off. There's actually more room for all those draft picks than I initially thought - they've just got most of their training camp signings done earlier than everybody else.

They also got N'Dour from Chicago though she might only be a part-time player
Still feels like another big move is in order
How about Stevens and #2 for Deshields
Jefferson Ogunbowale Deshields NDour Harrison
7Dangerfield, Gray, 5Holmes Thorton Anigwe IMS 9 or Gustafson

According to the UC Davis Aggies website, Morgan Bertsch signed a contract with the Dallas Wings...
Quote: |
The 2019 graduate with a degree in biomedical engineering returns to the franchise that selected her in the third round (29th pick overall) of the 2019 WNBA Draft after spending the winter with Spartak Vidnoe in the Russian Professional Basketball League. Bertsch was the first UC Davis player to be drafted by a WNBA club and the first from a Big West Conference school since 2011. |
