Dallas Wins the Paige Bueckers Sweepstakes

I agree with trading AO. Get what they can for her, what good is she to them? They were 9-31 with her so she doesn’t help them win games or sell tickets. With no big money, albatross contract attached to her they’re free to dump her for Bueckers and reset their franchise. They might not get much for her but she wouldn’t be their problem anymore. Nothing to lose and plenty to gain.

I don't know how many teams would want Arike on their team. She got lucky in college to win a championship.
She has been a ball hog, and a loser in the WNBA.

Yeah, that’s the problem. With their job security at stake, what GM or coach wants to hitch their wagon to her? If there’s no return then just release her. Like I said, she doesn’t win games for them.

Something to think about: The WNBA is on a high after last year’s rock-star first pick. Paige is another rock star, and she represents an opportunity for the WNBA to avoid the backslide it’s suffered the last few times it’s seen an upsurge.

Do we know for sure Paige is going to be the #1 pick? I know a lot of mocks have her as the #1 pick but now that Dallas has that spot and LA is 2nd, a lot could happen between now and draft time. Throw in player movement and the behind the curtain wheeling and dealing, throw in players staying in school or going pro, a lot can happen.

I feared the Wings getting the #1 pick!
Anywhere Arike is a swamp!
Several players have asked for trades away from Dallas, Mabrey, now Howard, and there has been several others!
Almost anywhere else would be better than Dallas' present situation!
