| The Las Vegas Aces were picked to win the WNBA championship and the Washington Mystics’ Elena Delle Donne was selected as the favorite for the WNBA Most Valuable Player Award, according to the 2019 WNBA.com GM Survey. In the 17th annual poll, the WNBA’s 12 general managers assessed the league’s best teams, players, coaches, offseason moves and more. |

| Time will tell, but I think Vegas is still a bit too young and needs time to gel. Maybe for 2020 if Cambage comes back.

| Lest we forget that Trader Bill did it in 2003 with a young team that turned out to be a mini-dynasty.

Excerpt:
The New York Liberty’s Asia Durr and the Dallas Wings’ Arike Ogunbowale shared the top spot for WNBA Rookie of the Year (25 percent each), ahead of Phoenix’s Alanna Smith and Las Vegas’ Young (17 percent each). Smith received 25 percent as the “sleeper” rookie most likely to have success, edging teammate Brianna Turner (17 percent).
Perhaps this means Turner is now going to make the roster, with the trade of Talbot (and some future financial finagling).
