I think they may have messed up by signing Plaisance early instead of when she’s ready to play. Now if they don’t full season suspend her, they have to start with 11, no different than WAS with Hill and IND with Johnson.


I believe shaqahtor will not be present this season. Nigerian NT commitments correct me.if jm wrong.

2013 - Minnesota, LA, Chicago

I've got

Diggins/Goodwin/Chong
Gray/Davis
Christmas/Powers
Johnson/Stevens/Thorton
Cambage/Plaisance

With GloJo and Azura playing some minutes at the 5 until Plaisance is ready.

And if it looks like Plaisance can't go this season at all Butler.

In 2015 five teams won 20+ gms.The Liberty won 22 & 21 gms each of the last two seasons.Minn/LA have both won 26+ gms each of the last two seasons.24 wins is very doable IMO...But okay,i'll cut Dallas some slack.....22-12...go 22-12....and finish win a top 4 seed.

In the last 7 seasons,27 teams have won 20+ gms.That's an average of nearly 4 per season.

Are you trying get banished to the basement? You are not to disrespect Miller’s authorite’. You’re basically favoring Chong (no longer needed) over Shaq. She actually might come in useful unless she’s missing a lot of time.

Surprised to see all this Dallas love and quotes of how we will be a Top team in the league . I stated those words once and got my head chewed off and spit in a Mccoughtry Ice cream shop for being delusional Rolling Eyes #WFFL

Sparks had three all-stars last year [Parker, Ogwumike, Gray], Lynx had four [Augustus, Brunson, Fowles, Moore]. Dallas had one [Diggins-Smith] (Phoenix and Seattle had two) . If Dallas is going to challenge for the title, they could use a few more all-stars. Who makes the all-star team this year from Dallas? Cambage would have to beat out Fowles and Griner to make it. Stevens will be a rookie who hasn't played full-time since the 2015-2016 season.

Zune tends to be overly exuberant. I just thought it was a great draft considering the low picks. The team still has to gel with three new players on it. On paper it should be a good team. Not sure why they’re fussing with Plaisance if her contract isn’t guaranteed.

Diggins,Cambage,Johnson are the obvious candidates.The more games Dallas win,the more All-Stars they will get.Diggins will be an All-Star.Glory is a 2x All-Star.Cambage is one of the top 4 centers in the world...That being said.Every player who plays like an all-star doesn't necessarily make the all-star team.

Rolling Eyes...Why would you even attach my name to WNBA 09's comment?...over the last 3 seasons I've consistently stated that Dallas at full strength with a healthy Cambage has the talent to contend for a championship....and BTW,I said top 4 seed.

You originally said 24 wins until you tempered that a bit. 20 should be a good target.

I remember saying a couple years ago Cambage needed to be on this team for success because Paris was not starter for a championship team, and a Paris fan got really upset with me. Wink

No,you said Paris wasn't a rotation player,and that Dallas would not make the playoffs with Courtney as the starting center.That's what pissed me off.

To be fair my statement was "A Top Team " not the "Top Team " Shades.

My entire family of 4, including two boys under 12 y/o were squealing with glee last night when we saw the 6th pick. I thought she was #2. So, happy they did not get Russell. As a tenn fan, I cannot endure another second of having to cheer for a team with her. Problem is I like the Storm, but I find myself cheering against them as if they were the Liberty with Bill at the helm now. Anyway, cannot wait for game 1 with a stop at uncle Julio’s after! Bring on the hot Waiter with the bubble butt! Woot!

Looking at the current roster of 15 players, 3 will not make the team.
1. Chong or Goodwin
2. Lewis or Butler
The last position will depend on Plaisance being suspended (injury) or on the active roster.

The thought of having Cambage & Stevens on the court together is scary. Good luck to other teams.

If I'm Dallas, I want Natalie Butler on the other team.

Powers has talent but is still a massive gunner. "No like to pass ball." The same for Xmas and Davis. Fred, Asst. Coach and Diggins will have to take charge to control these three and create a more inside out offense than last season.
