Wait now... you're saying Shaq has potential just not lottery pick potential, so they wasted that pick? Just clarification. |
I think Akhator has potential, but she wasn’t ready, so she shouldn’t have been picked at #3. She should have been a mid first round pick at best. 11-14 was the range I expected her to go.

Id rather have Zauhi B & she practically does nothing herself.

From what we've seen so far, she's a less energetic Asia Taylor. If that. |

Is Hamblin really any better than Lewis or Akhator?? All three can go. |
With Plaisance possibly missing the entire season and no assurance of Cambage coming over, they need to keep at least one of them or find another serviceable center free agency or trade.

Plaisance played two years before she was ever worth anything. Patience can pay off. I understand that she shouldn't have been drafted so high, but people hate her for it. Its not her fault. Let her see if she can make improvements to her game.

In fairness, an employee of the franchise trying to sell tickets is never particularly likely to say "Yeah, we're completely fucked. I wouldn't get too attached if I were you." |

Wings Front office giving out calls for New STH prices , lowered to 99 bucks for next year with another package for 199 including autographs for all 18 games. |
Didn't they curtain off the upper-level last year for a some of the games? Just wondering if the $99 seats are somewhere in the lower-level of a 7,000 seat arena.
$99 is cheap enough I am tempted to make a donation to the team.

They actually have those upper decks avail , but the 99 are for the sections behind the basket . Not bad seats but not what id prefer . Thinking about buying for my mom though so i might as well get mines early also .

Skylar Diggins-Smith on her busy offseason, looking for basketball games to go to in D-FW

There's been a lot of WNBA news this offseason, with the Stars moving from San Antonio to Las Vegas and Bill Laimbeer leaving the Liberty to take over the Vegas franchise. But what probably hit closest to home for you was the retirement of long-time Wings assistant Bridget Pettis. What did she mean to the team and to you personally? |

Things still sounding positive for Liz being in Dallas this season.
She talks about playing overseas from ~ the 6 minute mark of this radio interview
