Dallas Wings, part 2

[cancontent]

The Bills have been in the playoffs in each of the last five years and have won seven playoff games during that stretch.

So they haven't won the big one but they are competitive.

I'm a Giants fan, don't talk to me about suffering!

You conveniently overlooked the 2+ decades of no play-offs, a lot of bad free agency and coaching decisions. Over that period, your Giants won 3 Superbowls (this includes wide right), drafted Eli to replace Phil, and made Tom Brady miss out on a couple Lombardi trophies. As a Giants fan, I'm not sure if you're authorized to provide a comparison. 😉

Is Lou still under contract to the Wings?

Per herhoopstats, Lou:

• is on Suspended Contract in 2025;
• will be on Suspended Contract-Contract Expired status (same as Awak Kuier) in 2026.

Explanation here (current CBA). It is similar to Gabby’s prior situation with Chicago, although Chicago traded Gabby to LA just after they suspended her.

I believe both Awak and Lou are available for the expansion draft unless they are protected by Dallas (current CBA).

Paige finishes the season on a high note with 24 pts, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal & 2 blocks as the Wings beat the Mercury by 21 at home. The Mercury have locked up their playoff seed and had nothing to play for and the Wings were playing only for pride. But after 9 straight losses, any win feels good.

In a couple weeks, to the surprise of practically no one who follows the WNBA, Paige will be named ROY, after completing a wonderful season. Paige will finally have some time to rest up, enjoy life for awhile and take in a few Huskies games to cheer on her former teammates.

We should add that she only had 1 turnover and ended the season with a 2.7/1 assist to turnover ratio.
PS it's picky, but I think she got shorted credit for at least 2 assists, and they somehow missed a steal in the 3rd quarter...

If that prevented her from getting 3.0/1 ratio, we RIOT!!!! 😉

Has Paige signed with any overseas team or is she (hopefully) going to take some time off until her Unrivaled season starts?

All indications are that Paige will not play overseas, so the next time we’ll see her playing on the court will be with Unrivaled.

Agree, Rocky, not exactly an inspiring look ahead. What's left to say that hasn't already been said on this forum? Right now a shout out of well done to Paige as the season ends, she becomes the ROTY with some historic firsts and she gets some time off before Unrivaled begins.

Off season and next season for the Wings? Some hard decisions (hopefully by those qualified) so they don't end up playing Groundhog Day II in 2026.

Please help Kamilla escape the Chicago locker room.

This is not a promotion but for those who subscribe to their newsletter, HerHoopsStats put out a complete list today of 2026 Free Agents. No doubt several beside of course Curt Miller in the Wings organization will be studying the list carefully until the list becomes official in January for their needs but importantly who will mesh with their future franchise player for which would certainly expect that Paige will be consulted at least informally for her input.

I would put complete faith in Paige's knowledge of the players who would fit best in the Wings organization. I think we are going to see a much improved Wings team taking the floor over the next several years because in Paige we believe - and win. .

On the plus side, the Wings are clearly Paige’s team now. Just about everyone likes Paige, many players know her personally and most would love to play on the same team with her.

The minus is of course that playing with Paige comes with playing in Dallas, a franchise that has struggled mightily in recent years. If GM Miller can sell enough solid veterans that Dallas is the up and coming place to be, the Wings might just be a “much improved team” next season.

Paige’s personality is literally kinda magical. Pretty much every player in the league knows her now, has experienced her kindness and generosity all bundled up together with a relentless competitive spirit. It must be very tempting to want to play on her team. I’m struck by how happy Maddy and Hayley and Grace seem to be just hanging out with her, much less playing with her. And Yueru seemed genuinely astonished at her good fortune to find herself on a team with such a generous spirit.

Just a brief post script on this forum. What I have been particularly impressed with is the way that Paige took on the leadership on the Wings. No bravado. No in your face stuff. No attitude. Just pure talent and joy in playing the game with fierce determination and skill. She let her unbridled motivation to be the best that she and her teammates can be as an example for her teammates to follow. She is a leader in the best way: not just by what she says but what she does and how she does it by putting in the hard work to get better every day.
