How’s this. Washington sends Dallas #3, #6, and any one player off the roster not named Edwards or Austin to get Bueckers.

No deal. I think LA had a better chance at trading for Bueckers than anyone when they owned the number two pick. I think that ship has sailed.

And now that Seattle has the number two pick, how about they trade it to Dallas along with any 2 players not named Nika in exchange for the number one pick? :cool:

I thought that was more feasible when Miles was in the draft. Another highly regarded PG. Malonga may have a terrific upside, but she may not be what Seattle needs.
 
The challenge with Iriafan is that her jump shot was inconsistent during the tournament, when most eye balls are on her. She can make those 15-footers, but unfortunately, it was a bad time to keep bricking them.

I think she'll be a solid pro.

Question: Lucy Olsen or Kaitlyn Chen? You can make a reasonable argument either way.
Expand ...
You choose Chen. Time and time again, UConn has proven they can churn out pros like no other program. They know what it takes make it in the WNBA. That's my feeling at least - Auriemma has a history of developing ready-made players for the pros.

westbeld declared for the draft right?! As a UConn, I hate to give ND players their flowers, but she’s a legit player. It’s crazy to me that she’s not being viewed as a top 10 pick.
Expand ...
I believe Westbeld was a senior so didn't have to declare for the draft..she didn't have as good a year this year coming back from an injury but I agree with you that she should be a top 10 pick

I wonder how high the little guards will go. Georgia, Te-hina, Hailey, maybe even Azaiah.

5'9" and below is tough to stick in the league unless you have a dynamite perimeter shot or are lightning quick.

I saw this morning that in addition to being invited to attend the WNBA draft, Shyanne Sellers became engaged yesterday to her partner and former Maryland teammate, Faith Masonius, who was First Team All-Big East this year at Seton Hall. Quite a momentous day for Shyanne. Congratulations to them both!

On edit, the April link doesn't work, however it's in the April 9 article.

I think the article within this article by Megdal is very interesting. Bueckers has the leverage in this thing if she chooses to use it. I've said all along that if I were advising her I wouldn't want her locked in to a 4 year deal with that Dallas operation. That's a big chunk of her career to be stuck there. I hope she steers herself where she wants to play and doesn't settle.

So, what do you all {I refuse to say y'all} think Paige will be wearing at the draft? The mens suit like at last years draft, a womans suit, or maybe a gown like most of them wear. With all her NIL partners, it can be any of them, but now that she will be the highest profiled player there, so maybe it will be a war if NIL companies. LOL. Anyhow, she will look beautiful as always and will make UConn nation proud as if she was a daughter, or granddaughter to a lot of us. Good luck in Dallas, the franchise I have always hated in the past, but will be followed if Paige indeed goes to that franchise. Wonder if Areke will be there to welcome her to the team.

I agree but what I don’t understand is how many have her going to Washington? They already have a an Iriafen clone whose name is Edwards! They are essentially the same player. I think Aaliyah is going to have a breakout year and I question whether that pick would be better served by addressing other needs.

Am I the only one who hopes Paige pulls an Eli Manning and avoids going to Dallas.

If I worked (or owned) the Lynx or Sun, I would offer Dallas almost anything, draft pick wise, to get the rights to Paige.
But that's just me assuming that is where Paige would prefer to play.

I know you said draft pick-wise, but here's another thought experiment: if you were the GM of the Lynx, would you trade Pheesa to the Wings for the 1st overall draft pick (i.e., Paige)? I wouldn't. How about your 11th pick and KMac? Or your 11th pick and KMac and Courtney Williams? How much is Paige worth in known quantities of current players? (I have no idea what the answer is; you just got me thinking.)

I intentionally didn't throw any names into my "proposal" but if I was to, the only untouchable would be Pheesa. :)
Imagine Pheesa and Paige. WOW.
 
I don't know what's going to happen in the short term, but my fantasy is that when each becomes a free agent, both Paige and Caitlin will sign on with Minnesota.
