team chemistry...priceless. How many divas can one team withstand? Dissing teammates does not generally help.
It's harder on a team that is losing than on a team that is winning. The schedule is pretty favorable so perhaps they can keep a reasonable winning % but it will be tough w/o CP.
GloJo has always come off as 'me, me, me' - ie not the greatest teammate. But she is skilled. Maybe they should bring in Bone and the two of them can entertain each other with how great they are....

I get the feeling that Cambage will agree to play in 2018,sign a huge overseas contract,then skip the 2019/2020 seasons.If Liz wants to play for dallas,she needs to be committed to playing consecutive seasons.If not,maybe the best option for both parties is a trade.Would Cambage accept a trade to Chicago,Washington,San Antonio,or New tork ?....dallas could be a legit title contender in 2 or 3 years if they made 2 good trades.
The dallas franchise is in constant limbo. |
I have doubts about that. Player in China didnt work out for her and to me it seems like she gets homesick easily. Wouldnt be suprised if we she plays in the WNBL the next few years

Maybe the Wings might look to trade Johnson? GloJo to Chicago for the rights to Coates?

PODCAST: Dallas Wings executive, Australian basketball great Erin Phillips
Quote: |
The two discuss Phillips’ transition, memories of her WNBA championships, and what she’s hoping to accomplish in a career that’s already encompassed so much success. Plus: how she’ll handle it if her twins decide to play internationally, one for America, one for Australia. |

This would be the perfect season for Cambage to join the wings and make a deep playoff run.Most of the wnba teams have players who are injured,absent or who have recently retired.Cambage returning in 2018 doesn't guarantee dallas a playpff spot.

On the back of an 11-23 2016 season I think Dallas would be silly not to grab another lottery pick. Then make a title run rather than a token playoff appearance.

Dallas won't be making any title runs until the Camabge situation is resolved.....how can dallas draft/trade/sign players without knowing the full intentions of Cambage ?....then there's the G.Johnson situation.Is Glory on the trading block ?

Dallas at least looks like a play-off team. Adding Gray & Davis have been huge assets for Dallas. They're definitely better than Indiana, Chicago, Connecticut & San Antonio(the likely lottery teams). Might end up as high as a #6 seed if New York doesn't get it's sh!t together & Atlanta starts to slide downward.

Generally, the best way to determine someone's intentions is to observe what they do ...
Liz Cambage has never given any indication she is willing to commit to the WNBA for any length of time (nor is there a good reason for her to do so), so I think the Wings clearly should move forward assuming she will not be there -- as history strongly suggests will continue to be the case.
And then if she does show up, so much the better.

I agree with almost all of that. The part I don't agree with is a personal preference and ideology. Cambage's inconsistencies have rendered my ability to see the "upside" of her joining the Wings practically non-existent. You all can argue what a transformative talent she would be to have on the team but the way I see it is, besides the way she's been jerking them around, what kind of morale killer would that be to have someone come on the team that has been dismissive of the team, made unkept promises, left them hanging on more than one occasion but its gonna be all good in the lockerroom? Just how much do you bend over backwards for a potential superstar? |

If Cambage is willing to play in 2018, she might be willing to play in 2019 as well(non-Olympic year). If Phillips & the Wings org. can talk Cambage into a 2 year deal, it'll be better off for them overall. I still won't hold my breath that she even shows up for one game between now & 2019.

Wheres Avery Warley-Talbert ? Ill take her on this team right now no doubt about it . Lewis & Ahkator are just not cutting it. We need strength in the post and rebounding both AWT can do specifically .

It's almost as if the dallas wings are dividing into 3 groups:
1.Glory Johnson
2.Cambage/Phillips
3.The rest of the team.
The whole Cambage situation is giving off a weird vibe.You can almost feel the resentment/tension.
