Exactly the position they need. Dallas could be a powerhouse next year.

Cambage returns, and (to be less controversial) they use their draft pick on Deshields
Diggins/Chong
A. Gray/Deshields/Powers
Christmas/A. Davis
GloJo/Plaisance/Thorton
Cambage/Paris
and they still have their second and third round picks in a deep draft or can stick with Akhator or Lewis if they prefer.

You listed 12 players, so there's no room for others than your first round pick, unless you were suggesting Shaqator and Lewis over Plaisance and Thornton. Based on this year's results, that's not looking too realistic.
If DeShields is the best available at their pick, then they should pull the trigger. But even with the addition of Cambage, I do think the post is still more of a weakness than the perimeter. Are Plaisance and Thornton irreplaceable?
They seem to going away from Chong. Now she's like 5 mpg and an insurance policy. I'm not sure if that means they're unhappy with her? She seemed fairly competent early on.
Powers played PF in college, whereas Davis (Kaela not Antonio) was a SG, so I'd swap how you have them slotted. Powers a third stringer behind younger players? I wonder how that would play out?
I still say they should explore what they can get for Christmas to loosen up the logjam at those positions, especially if they think they might get DeShields.

I wish she was still playing," Cambage says of Phillips. "That would have been so fun playing a WNBA season with her, but she's got a coaching role now. She's one of my closest friends and having her around she's always been like a big sister to me on the Opals team."
On her recent visit to Dallas, the team really rolled out the red carpet for Cambage in an effort to show how much they still valued her skills. The Wings also took her on a tour of AT&T Stadium -- home of the Dallas Cowboys -- and had the stadium's giant video board say, "Welcome to Dallas Liz."
"It's really cool what they're doing in Dallas now," Cambage says. "It's a lot of the same people from when the organisation was in Tulsa. It's a lot more professional, it's a lot better. It was a baby organisation when it was in Tulsa. It was really nice to see how well they're doing." |

I think Akhator sticks just because of her being the #3 pick. Christmas will be a UFA, so with a healthy Powers & their draft pick (#5/#6), do they let Christmas go?
PG: Diggins/Chong
SG: Gray/DeSheilds
SF: Powers/Davis/Thornton
PF: Johnson/Plaisance/Akhator
C: Cambage/Paris

Yes i believe we have no choice. Our Back court is getting pretty stocked and there are not enough posts even with Cambage , Our First 7 or 8 Would be Deadly but then there would be a drop off. Cambage returning spells doom for Karima or Kaela via Trade . Btw NO Thornton is not Irreplaceable either.

Maybe the Wings should tank to guarantee getting DeSheilds?

Why would they need DD with 4 wings already - Davis, Gray, Christmas, and Powers all about the same size and position. They need a better post at 4 to back up Johnson or 5 if Cambage does what Cambage does (not show up.)

NY will gladly take Christmas off of Dalllas' hands as an unrestricted free agent in the off-season. And I bet the Liberty would be willing to trade for K. Davis if the price wasn't too high, L. Allen? our 2nd round draft pick? L. Allen and our 2nd round draft pick? Would Dallas want Zahui B back? Prince and Dallas can throw in their 2nd round draft pick? Vaughn for K. Davis and the Wings 2nd round pick? That could work well, Dallas needs another experienced post and NY could use its first round pick on a post (Billings, Russell) to replace Vaughn, and has a couple of 2nd rounder to experiment with.

The only trade that even seemed fair or logical was the Vaughn for K.Davis & 2nd rd pick . But you kind of answered your own statement , We need to dump off our guards for a good post but theres (Aja,Mercedes, Monique, Possibly Teirra M & Gabby coming out of this draft. We have Liz Coming back next season were not hurting at any position at the moment i foresee the line up of
Diggins
A. Gray
A.Powers
Glory Johnson
Liz Cambage
Bench
DDD/Aja/Gabby/K.Mitch *1 of these 4*
Paris
Plaissaince
Kaela Davis *Barring Trade*
K. Thornton
S. Chong
B. Lewis's Replacement

The chances of Cambage playing a single game next season for dallas is less than 25%.Injury,trade,exclusive contract with overseas team,and change of heart are all potential obstacles.The long layoff,and Liz's injury history has me concerned.Is she in good enough condition to play a full wnbl season without getting hurt ?..Liz also makes it clear that she wants to play in the wnba again,but not necessarily in dallas.I won't get my hopes up on Liz joining the wings until she makes a verbal commitment,and signs a contract.
Whether Liz shows up or not,acquiring a young starting center with some size should be high on the wings priority list.Dallas should have offered the #4 pick & player to chicago for Dolson & Quigley before the 2017 draft.

It is a bit ironic that DeShields is campaigning to get drafted by the Wings while Davis' Tweeter Mom prays for her to get traded. (Based only on her choice of apparel at the recent Dream game Wilson may prefer a Dallas address next season as well.)
