Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 3157783, member: 4946"] It definitely is a consistent problem in the WNBA that stars forced trades to preferred destinations and the trading team never receives anything close to fair value for the stars. It creates some serious competitive imbalance. Connecticut only got a single 1st round pick (likely to be low) for Chiney. Chicago has maybe got the worst of this. They had to [I]give up a 2nd round pick [/I]to trade Fowles for Erika de Souza (who was already past her prime). The EDD trade actually wasn't too bad as Chicago got a starting center (Dolson) and useful bench guard (Copper) plus the #2 overall pick. Too bad that draft sucked and that #2 pick was Coates who is not very good. Now Dallas is getting a PG who has struggled with injuries, a backup big, plus 1st and 2nd round picks. But those picks are likely to be late in the round and the 2020 draft doesn't look that deep as of now. Dallas appears to be in a really rough spot. [/QUOTE]
