Hines-Allen to the wings

Here's the ESPN story on that...

Sources: F Hines-Allen to join revamped Wings

Veteran forward Myisha Hines-Allen, who was a key reserve in the Lynx's run to the WNBA Finals last season, agreed to a one-year deal with the Wings, sources told ESPN.

Related thought (again) back to the Carrington trade, in which the Sun sent her to Dallas in return for Jacy Sheldon and the #8 (while giving Dallas the #12).

Dallas has now gotten Nalyssa Smith to play power forward alongside Big T. Hines-Allen is a great utility player, who can slot into the 5 or the 4 if need be. Makes me wonder why Morgan Tuck didn't press harder to get a Maddy Siegrist (instead of or on top of) for Carrington); particularly after sending Allen (forward) to Chicago for Allen (pg). Nothing against Caitlin Bickle, but she's no Spider or Maddy S., for that matter.

If one even has a remotely strong interest in the Sun for this year, have to wonder if one more big trade is on the way (Cloud or Mabrey?) to get some front line bigs and/or wish they get a decent power forward in the draft.
