I realize this is crazy but this is what I have come up with
PX gets Diggins-Smith and Charles
Dallas get Griner and #7
NY gets Stebens and #2 (Cox or Sabally)
PX still has picks 5 and 10 to add to a core of Taurasi, SDS, Cahrels, Mitchell, January Turner, Turner, Cuningham and Smith and tries to contend in 2020 Taurasi's last season
Dallas gets a new centerpiece to joing Ogunbowale, Jefferson, Gray, Thorton, N'Dour, IMS and pick #7 (Clearly GloJo moves on)
NY goes full rebuild with Ionescu as the top dog and a young core of Johannes, Han Xu, Durr, Nurse, Stevens and Cox or Sallaby

I figure if this happens it will be two really one sided trades in favor of the Mercury. Like all those draft picks going to Dallas and NY. Not compensatory, but when have star trades ever been compensatory?

If it is like pick 5 and B. Turner for Charles and pick 7 and Cuningham for Diggins then
Boo!

Based on the article it sounds like they want to pair Charles WITH Griner

This is probably why they didn't just give Bonner the max, if they thought they were bringing in two cored max players in SDS and Charles and want to keep the cap clear for Gruner in the future? So they hooked up Bonner with the sign and trade as a thank you?

Charles going to Phoenix will mean every #1 overall pick in the league is in the west (other than whoever NY takes this year)

With a balanced schedule east fans get to see all these stars. They just won't see them wearing their home team's uniforms.

Not sure why the Ndour trade to Dallas isn't official, but apparently this three-way is a wrench in it. Maybe Ndour goes to New York?
Phoenix gets Diggins-Smith & Charles.
Dallas gets Boyd, the #5 pick & #13 pick.
New York gets Ndour, Cunningham & the #9 pick.
Chicago gets the #7 pick.

If Diggins and Charles are both supermax and the Merc don't unload January in one of the deals, they'll be filling out last five roster spots with players making about the minimum with no more than two of them having 3+ years in the league.

If you have Diggins, Charles and Griner on 1 team (let alone a 70-80% Taurasi) then i wouldnt call that a long shot for another try at a championship.
New york are not going anywhere this season or even next season so i get why Charles would want out and go for a ring. Bigger chance for her to get it with the Mercury then with the Liberty IMO

The Mercury are going after two big free agents who were once teammates... |
So are they getting Diggins, Charles, plus two big FAs? Courtney Williams & Stricklen? Not sure who this could be?

Just because the Mercury are calling people on the phone trying sign FA's and make trades doesn't mean they are going to be able to pull all (or any) of this off.....

I’m thinking Charles and Epiphanny Prince. I believe they are great friends and Prince might be available for cheap. Sugar Rodgers also comes to mind.

Unless Griner is leaving or they're going without both January and Taurasi, that's not gonna fit under the cap.

Diggins-Smith and Charles were probably TeamUSA teammates at some point, if that counts. Although for what it's worth I don't think that's what Mo is refering to. |
