I think Wilson is going to be much better than Harrison, so I'm surprised Bill would be so quick to trade her. A compromise solution would be to keep Wilson and trade Harrison. You might be able to get #3 or #4 for Harrison. This assumes no one comes out early. Now, if Laimbeer is rolling the dice on a post player possibly leaving early, then it's a different story. The smart thing for Chicago to do is wait and see what happens with early entrants before dealing those picks.

Geno has a way of shutting down the opposing team’s best player, so if the team’s not balanced it can be problematic for them. Wilson may have had an unusually poor shooting night against UConn, but she did manage to secure 16 reb and 6 blocks.... against UConn.

agree with this...but that's why the wide open shots were most troubling. I understand when she's double or triple teams, but not open layups.

I think she's a legit 6'5" - probably closer to legit than 90% of college kids and their height listing.

I don't see Bill trading out of that number one pick without a go-to post player to run the type of offense he prefers to run. If there's no surprise player in that 3/4 area, he's going to pick Wilson. The addition of Bone clearly helps in that endeavor, but Bone has not historically dealt with hard double-teams very well. The addition of Swords gives you a rebounder who knows your system and defends the rim. Acquiring Wilson gives you more of a go-to offensive player and allows you to trade Harrison, who doesn't really fit your desired physical style of play anyway.
Acquiring Young gives you a strong, physical defender at the 3 spot, and allows you to probably keep McBride locked in at the 2 spot.
In turn, you now have one of Plum or Jefferson as trade bait and possibly Harrison too. Now all of a sudden, Bone, McBride and Wilson should all provide double-digit scoring, with whomever you keep out of Plum or MoJeff capable of doing the same or close. Looks like a team with scoring, defense and rebounding to me.

I think Harrison will be fine as the 4th post. Unless he can come up with something better, not sure why he'd be trading her. The main problem I see with both her and Wilson at the 4 spot is that neither have an outside shot. As long as he can load up gunners at the three wing spots that should be ok. If he plays T. Young much then he needs a 4 that can shoot the long ball to balance it out.

Agree about Harrison as a fourth post. My thought was she’s probably got more value than that. Maybe you can fill another position (like SF) where you need more help.

Mcbride
Wilson
Bone
Bench
Plum
Harrison
Holmes

I’m pretty sure Laimbeer doesn’t want to go all small on the perimeter. He’s also the one that traded away Cappie while at NYL.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Cappie end up in Minnesota.

Tamera Young was 25 - 73 from 3 in 2017 (34.2%).

I would not count on being successful with T.Young shooting 3's . Although i must give her credit as she has improved . I still would not make that her 1st priority .

She's 31 this season, but Chicago went to the finals in 2014 with Tamera Young as their starting SF.

This Phoenix Mercury season ticket holder just became a Las Vegas Aces season ticket holder as well.
