Could it be Dolson and Hartley, or Johnson and Stricklen? Looking through the list of what’s left, I can’t find any realistic combos of teammates the Mercury could possibly get. Not really sure Johnson is a very realistic option either.

If they dont get Diggins and Charles then maybe they are going to settle for Glory and Stricklen

Diggins to Mercury for 5 and 7 in the 2020 Draft and Phoenix first on 2021

I can't see how they have enough left to get Charles

Cunningham, the rights to Maria Stepanova and a bag of chips.

Agree unless the Liberty brass really want to dump her. The Mercury are not a contender without her, and maybe not even with her.

I think they have the rights to a couple other nice foreign players.
But don’t the Liberty have enough foreign players? Plus these ones haven’t shown up to the league in a while: Sonja Petrovic and Marta Xargay.

I don't see how this work with both DT & Skylar both being ball dominated players. I thought Mystics were a better fit for Sky.

This is probably Taurasi’s last year, unless she rebounds something fierce.

Trade for Xargay and hope Stewie comes back home to NY one day? 😍

They might not be the best big 3 in Px history
Besides pondexter and penny big 3 2016 DT Boner and Griner might be better than 2020 DT Diggings and Griner
And they might not even be the best big 3 in 2020
Wilson, McCoughtry and Cambage
N.ogwumike, C. Gray and Parker
And Howard, Stewart and Bird or Loyd will be int the competition
And there are probably some Minny combos Whalan Moore Fowls or Whalan Moore Augustus that you can't discount

meh
They're big names but let's wait until they achieve something on the court before comparing them to anything. I am far from convinced.

Some others from history that i think might be better
Bird LJ Cash
Smith Nolan Ford
Heck maybe even Yo, Powell Lawson and
Oliver Edd Meeseman sorry Washington too soon?
I will agree that they probably have the greatest name recognition of all time

Taurasi's back would also need to stay in one piece for five consecutive minutes before they're even in the conversation. And Griner would have to sign a contract... |

I think there's Houston and Minny's "Big Three" (especially, Fowles, Whalen and Moore) and then everyone else.

There are rumors that Bria Hartley is signing with the Mercury. Could she and Charles be the teammates being referenced for Phoenix?
If the Mercury do sign her, it would probably mean the end to Mitchell in Phoenix or that a couple of Phoenix guards might be involved in the Charles trade...if there is one.

Both were UFAs, so maybe the players decided for them, but I'd rather have just given the money to Leilani Mitchell to stay. |
