Interesting to see who Washington core among that group, if anyone. Delle Donne's obviously the super-duper-star, but if you're absolutely 100% sure she's going nowhere, it opens you up to protect a different asset. |
EDD and Toliver are both close to home, so I'm guessing they would core Messeman. |
They've also got players like Powers, Sanders and Cloud finishing deals next offseason. So your problem is that if you core any of this year's group and then sign that player to a multi-year deal, you can't core anyone next year. So if they're confident all three don't want to go anywhere, coring no one is also an option. |
Powers lucked into the best situation possible for her so she would be crazy to leave, Sanders has been in Wash for years and appears to be pretty loyal, Cloud will probably receive a lot of attention though so they may wanna put more thought into holding on to the core option. |
I can see Powers leaving for a starting spot somewhere

Who’s going to give her that? She seems ideal in the energy off the bench role.
Of course, if she can play SG, the Lynx might even have a spot for her.🤔

Who knows what the situation will be in a year. She's certainly good enough for a starting spot in this league though, and SF is a fairly weak position.
She can play SG, but I think she's quite a lot better at the 3. I want more playmaking ability from guards.

If Powers replicates her 2019 numbers in 2020, even if it's in somewhat limited minutes again, someone will happily pay her a lot of money to steal her away from Washington. She was a top-15 player in the entire league last season in PER. But if she manages to keep her head screwed on straight I also wouldn't be surprised if Washington see her as potentially their long-term 3, with Atkins at the 2 once Toliver calls it quits. |

Angel in Vegas could be pretty interesting.
Plum, McBride, McCoughtry, Wilson, Cambage
L. Allen, Colson or Rodgers or Prince, J. Young, T. Young, Hamby, Park, Swords
If Cambage doesn't show
Plum, McBride, McCoughtry, Hamby, Wilson
L. Allen, Colson or Rodgers or Prince, J. Young, T. Young, Park, Swords
She makes Vegas with Cambage a real contender, and Vegas without Cambage she keeps them in the mix.

I think Cambage comes over if she gets the max(215k). I don't see either Colson, Rodgers or Prince in Vegas this season. Laimbeer went with 11 most of last season. I do think Vegas is the best fit for Angel.
PG: Plum/L. Allen or FA
SG: McBride/J. Young
SF: McCoughtry/T. Young
PF: Wilson/Hamby
C: Cambage/Swords/Park?

Idk if McCoughtry in LA would work out. It just seems like the more talent LA has to work with, the likelier on-the-court underachievement and off-the-court turmoil are to happen. As much as I don't mind that for LA ( ), I do hope McCoughtry gets that title. Vegas does seem like the best fit, considering how rosters are now. But if Atlanta cores McCoughtry, how would Vegas trade for her? No first-rounder this year, so maybe their 2021 first-rounder and Jackie Young, or something thereabouts. |
Angel is what the Sparks need: a player who steps up big time in the playoffs, rather than acting like it is having to stay late after school.
Another destination for her that would make a lot of sense is the Sun - they need that playoff superstar to get them over the hump. However, no one ever seems to want to go there. |
That's true. McCoughtry's presence alone might bring that fire when they really need it; For all the talent they had last year, everyone individually and collectively rolled over vs. the Sun. Hard to say how much that was due to the whole Toler/Fisher drama, and how Fisher's personality and coaching affects the team this year - maybe he's even a deterrent for free agents? Probably not, but who's to say how his reputation is amongst the players League-wide.
The Sun should at least have a better chance getting free agents since they still have the "contender" label on them... but we'll see.

McCoughtry's a very talented older player but has been known to cause significant problems with GM/s, coaches, players and owners. It will take a mature no-bullshit coach to best control her.
