Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5120716, member: 7511"] Paige doesn’t have to say a thing, and I doubt that she’ll think much about the W so long as she’s chasing a national championship with the Huskies. But she has Lindsay Kagawa Colas, a top sports agent, to look after her long term business interests. Look at what Scott Boras is up to for Juan Soto as he seeks a $700 million contract for his client. Every day there are rumors flying in the media on Soto, about where he’s going and how much he’ll earn. Boras is orchestrating all the rumors while Soto has said nothing. While Paige is not a free agent, Colas knows her job is to generate opportunities for her clients, as she did effectively with Stewie. LA is a better economic opportunity for Bueckers, and probably a better basketball opportunity as well. If Colas can plant some doubt with Wings GM Curt Miller, maybe he starts thinking about a trade. Yes I know that nobody thinks he’ll trade the first overall pick. But if you’re not sure Paige will be available, how about swapping picks with LA, along with getting a rising star like Rickea Jackson? Curt Miller is an experienced basketball executive. He’s going to listen to a lot of offers from other teams relative to the #1 pick. He may lose 2 solid veterans to free agency. He needs more than just Paige Bueckers to fix what’s wrong with the Wings. Miller can parlay his 1st overall pick into 2 or 3 frontline players if he chooses. [/QUOTE]
