Dallas had a couple of people scouting Plum this weekend. Not a surprise that they'd be prepared. And Mike Thibault is going to be calling the Pac-12 Tournament final which means he'll be in town for at least the semis. Really nice when you get a side gig while scouting.

They definitely won't trade Diggins, which probably means they're stuck with Fred Williams.
If they can just get Cambage to come over, that's a huge difference maker that doesn't cost you anything.
Now what does Dallas have left to get McCoughtry? Would Glory Johnson, Powers, and #10 be enough? Need Spooner to come up with some ideas.

I wonder if they're gonna use one of those draft picks to secure the rights to Langhorne.

My prediction is they're trading for either...
McCoughtry (maybe her 'sitting out' was a way to force a trade to her old coaches team).
Griner, she's from Texas and the Mercury seem to cleaning house lately.
Liz Cambage is playing this summer (not too likely lol).
Bonner has been traded to the Wings for draft picks.
Or it's a boring jersey sponsorship (not likely since this seems to be a lot of fanfare for that).
In any event, the fanfare post indicates that they traded for a superstar caliber player.

Yeah,I said the same thing in another thread.
I would not be surprised if the player is J.Lavender or K.Bone.

I'm not seeing Diggins as the biggest Dolson fan, not sure any trade for her is going to work. |

How about something a little more in the future C. Ogwumike, it would be a risk, but healthy Diggins, GloJo and C. Ogwumike in 2018 could be pretty exciting, and Conn might be swayed by a couple of high picks and something (IDK Christmas) to move on from a player whose injuries have slowed their progress, and wouldn't have to pay someone who might not be on the court this season.

I'd be very surprised. Here is a starter quality player who has accepted a role position. That's the kind of player you generally want to keep. Plus, the Sparks recently signed her to an extension. Did they do that to help another team?
Quote: |
“After winning a championship last season, something I think this team has worked really hard for the whole six seasons I played, it’s only right that I stay to try to continue to add on to the legacy this organization already has,” said LA Sparks Sixth Woman of the Year, Jantel Lavender. “LA is home for me, so coming back was a no brainer. The fans are amazing and I don’t think there are any other fans in the league that are as loyal as they are, I want to see their faces for as long as I possibly can.” |

Come to think of it, the outline of the player they use looks like it could be Skylar Diggins. I wonder if it's a new jersey sponsorship or maybe a new jersey design, but I suppose there's rules against changing the jersey. Is this year the league is supposed to be changing to Nike uniforms?

I was thinking the outline looked like Cambage. But I'm thinking jersey too. The '?' Mark is right where a sponsors name would appear on the jersey.
In the past, teams would post a teaser about 'big news' coming and it was always jersey sponsorships.

I wonder if "keep it locked here" is a clue. Jersey sponsorship for a locking company or something. Maybe LifeLock is switching from PHX to Dallas. Everyone else is leaving PHX so why not LifeLock.

Dallas could use some big news this offseason. Wonder what it could be?
