I think Dallas looks at Paige as a franchise player who will be on their team for the next decade or more. Therefore, they should involve her in the decision making process. Will loyalty to her partner outweigh the need for a dominant big at this time? It might but then again she might place team above her personal desires,

Yes, I agree. It's definitely a tough decision. They are guard-heavy right now and have 6 players
signed, Bueckers, Siegrist, Diamond Miller, Aziaha James and JJ Quinerly. Arike Ogunbowale, Li Yueru, Myisha Hines-Allen and Tyasha Harris are free agents. In 2027, the wings will have two 1st round picks and can really get some deep talent or trade for a good player in the offseason.
