Arike is actually quite the fan of Paige. This was after the most recent UConn/ND game.

There's also a tweet from Arike after the lottery.
Could’ve been excited at Dallas getting the #1 pick, but I’m fairly certain this was for Paige.

I'd much rather see Paige in L.A. Dallas has too many issues.

I wish I could find it in my feed, but there was also a video accompanying this photo of them hugging it out after the game, as well as Arike playfully busting Paige's chops for taking the L that night. (I didn't find it funny at the time
.) Marina Mabrey (I might be misremembering the player) also posted a photo of Arike and Paige when Paige made a visit to ND when she was in high school, teasing them both about their "glow-ups" over the years. I agree that there seems to be a lot of friendly respect among these players. .-.

Other than marketing, what else does LA have? They have their issues as well.
New coach and front office. Decisions on which veterans to keep at the guard position. Brink working her way back from injury.
Not saying you can't have a preference, but the "too many issues" talking point is applicable with LA, Chicago and Washington.
And after cleaning house, will Dallas be on enough of an upswing to make it attractive? Stranger things have happened.

Fair question. Which of the first four picks is at this moment? They've all cleaned house in some respect this off-season. This is why I chafe at the "Dallas has issues" talking point because it's the same with all of the teams at the upper part of the draft.
There's no way to really know which of these teams will be on the upswing at the moment. Some teams may be better for marketing or being closer to family. I get and respect that, however it doesn't mean that any of these teams will be on a better trajectory than Dallas. There's no way to tell and we won't know for a few years at minimum.
