To be drafted with the 2nd pick and another player.....maybe Olivia Miles goes no. 1 ?
I don't know how much not being the number one pick would bother Paige......I doubt she would ever say anything publicly, but it might put a bit more of a chip on her shoulder when the WNBA season begins......I like Olivia Miles' game a lot and she is a Jersey girl but I'd take Paige as the first pick in a heartbeat......

If another player goes first, it might be Iriafen as well as Miles. Paige has marquee name value apart from whether she puts up the best numbers going forward. So that might prevent a shift at the top of the draft.

Paige in L.A. would produce a nice nucleus for a "Big 3" with Brinks and Jackson and think abt all publicity and endorsements they would rack up in " The City of Angels".

While many of us would love to see Paige end up in LA, new Dallas HC Chris Koclanes has already heaped effusive praise on Paige. While he hasn’t come out and declared that Paige is the Wings 1st pick, it’s hard to imagine that he’ll take another player over Paige unless someone makes him an offer he can’t refuse or Paige decides to hang on with UConn for one more season.

Dallas is a franchise in turmoil. Bringing in Paige solves some of their problems both on and off the court. With that said, I have no doubt that Paige and her very talented agent will explore all of their options.

I think the Dallas fans would be very unhappy with team management. They have already sold a huge number of tickets for next season based on the fact that they received the #1 pick and thus Bueckers.

With the only exception of Paige being hurt and unable to play, those folks down in Texas would absolutely revolt if management were to draft the USC forward or the ND guard first!

Sabally announced recently that she won’t return to Dallas. So if Paige isn’t the first pick, my money would be on Iriafen.

Paige is a professional and will give the team and the community her all, wherever that is.

You're talking about the same city that's been blessed with Jerry Jones. Unhappy fans mean nothing to the people who call the shots in that town.

If any team takes Iriafen over Paige or Miles, well they shouldn't be running that team. In fact the old front office for the Wings would for sure do that.

Cuz that’s been a conversation lately
True, a couple of conversations weren't based on her talents but on her durability, it's a game to us fans but it's a Big business decision for GMs and you can bet tht whn she fell (tackled)the other night GMs with the 2nd thru 4th positions were thinking abt calling Dallas to check for the possibilities of "making a deal tht Dallas can't refuse", and whether we as fans might not like her not being the no. 1 pick....Dallas will accept and will consider those offers.....its not personal, it's business.
