2 questions..... Will Cambage play? She wanted to go to LA. And....How will this effect Wilson? She seemed to flourish without another big around her.

She definitely wants to play, apparently not with Dallas.

That draft class was so weak. The 2018 draft class rose the bar more, and this current draft class might be even deeper (although lacking a start like Wilson).

Alaina Coates to Minnesota for a 2020 draft pick

Burke definitely performed well in all of the preseason games as far as stats go, she actually was the #2 scoring rookie. I think the Aces or the Fever should give her a long look.
