We end the year the exact same way we ended last season. 1st rd playoff exit. We have a very very important offseason coming up. I have no idea where to start. Well getting a coach would be 1st. Micheal Cooper? Eric Thibault? Let the moves begin! #5 Pick should be useful i hope. Oh yeah im still a #WFFL

Not sure Cooper is really what you need, but he might be good for Cambage if she comes back. Erika had her best season under Cooper, and he did help Liz Williams develop as well.

really comes down to whether Cambage comes back. I'm leaning slightly towards her returning. With her returning I see them drafting Durr at #5. They also need a back-up PG. Do they invite Chong back?
PG: Diggins-Smith/???
SG: Gray/Durr/Davis
SF: Thornton/Christmas-Kelly
PF: Stevens/Johnson
C: Cambage/George/Plaisance

1.Hire a HC-My top 4 options are:
E.Thibault
C.Ross
J.Plank
B.Winters
2.Core Glory...Then trade her for Copper and Ndour….or to Minn for 1st rd pk and Fagbenie,Jones or Zandalasini(1 of the 3)
3.Make Stevens the starting PF.
4.Move Thornton back to the bench.
5.Draft KLS,Durr or Collier.
6.Shop Davis and Gray.

For the ones who think she wants OUT of Dallas.

Being a Wings fan is too emotionally draining for me....I don't think I can do this for another season.

I would love for Cambage to return next season. She was the brightest star in a league full of stars this season.

Of the names tossed out so far Eric T. sounds like the best bet. The rest of them are all pretty much over the hill or lifelong assistants. Of course as this season showed - an assistant coach is a gamble. The results could be anywhere between Katie Smith and Nicki Collen. The past 4 AC's promoted to HC (that I can remember) are Miller, Collen, Stocks and Smith. So basically it's a coin toss on how they turn out.
Another wrinkle on the Liz drama - maybe she realize that Erin is highly replaceable if she doesn't come back so she keeps hope alive to help her out.
One thing for sure - if I'm Liz I want to see what this team does with its coach hire and FA moves before deciding.

I believe "crapshoot" is the league approved term for the uncertainty surrounding new coaches.

Stocks has been a HC for 2 seasons,Smith for 1...I think we should give them 3 years before we come to a conclusion on how good or bad they are.

That's fair for measuring coaches and there is no proof a coach who does well in the first season will end up doing that well in the following years or vice versa. However, it seems to me the Wings already have the talent (esp. if Liz comes back) and need to be a winner asap. So they need to get a coach that can improve them next season mainly through better defense. I think they need a proven coach if they can find one.

Dallas needs a 3rd scorer, someone who can step up and go off, Durr would be a good pick, but I think Durr and Ogunbowale will go 3 and 4 in the draft. LouConn or Mabrey would be my pick at 5, for a team who can sometimes use a fire lit under them, someone like Mabrey who plays with a lot of moxie would fit the team well.
Diggins-Smith/Davis/ draft pick
Mabrey/Gray
Christmas-Kelly/Thornton
Stevens/Trade
Cambage/George/Plaisance |
