yeah there are teams that seem to have more talent on paper but
Wilson, Gray, Plum is a solid big three
Williams, Hamby give you two very competent experienced players who can thrive as starters or of the bench
Stokes, Plaisance, Colson give you veteran role players up front and on the perimeter
J. Young is the wild card, if she steps up to the next level Vegas could be great if not that might be stuck at good
It will also come down to the multi season argument how much better is Wilson without Cambage and while it puts Wilson squarely back in the MVP conversation does it also improve or weaken the Aces as a whole
and will Becky Hammon bring a new on court philosophy that maximizes this version of the Aces right away or will it take a season or two or one more top level talent to put them over the top
This same team with theme and variation has been in the top for the last few seasons no reason they won't be there again just is it top 3 or top 6?

| This roster gonna need a miracle to win it all. Wilson/Hamby are a good, though certainly not big front line. You are not winning championships with Plaisance (soft) and Stokes (can't score) as important rotational bigs. The only backup to Jackie Young (disappears playoff time) is an untried rookie who lacks mobility. It is asking a lot for an untried, late arriving, French pivot to play a big role.

They would have been better off drafting Egbo or Cunane. They must have been putting a lot of eggs in the Kalani Brown basket. 20/20 hindsight.

| The Sky had Macaulay for a hot minute. Probably won't be around long as she has made the rounds, and not any time recently in the W...

On Friday, Raiders owner Mark Davis announced president Dan Ventrelle is “no longer with the organization” after less than a year in charge. Neither Davis nor the team went into detail as to why they made the decision.
However, Ventrelle spoke publicly about what happened on Friday afternoon. In a statement he released through the media, Ventrelle alleges he saw Davis, who also owns the Las Vegas Aces, create a difficult workplace within the Raiders organization. |

I’m not familiar with Rupert. How’s her game? Will she be a contributor to the Aces?
