That explains the mystery surrounding their PG situation. Seems like they’ve known for a while.

If there isn't a trade who is the last cut?

I have

Plum/Jefferson
McBride/Rodgers
Young/Young
Wilson/Harrison/Hamby
Swords/Bone

and either Nared or Park with Chong as a huge long shot.

I actually think Park will get the last spot but it makes them a little post heavy unless they try to move Hamby more to the SF spot.

LV need center who defends well with big body. Park will get the spot without doubt

I wouldn't be hugely surprised if they just swallowed Bone's contract and cut her. I doubt Park's going anywhere after the work they put into her last year and the development they'll still be hoping to see from her. She's 20.

Nared's pretty easily cuttable as well, though.

Inconceivable that they would sign a player like Bone to a guaranteed contract, unless it's to undermarket price.

https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/basketball/aces-wnba/aces-no-1-pick-jackie-young-works-into-role-as-lead-guard-1656839/

Usually these preseason WNBA articles are full of useless info, quite often about players who will have no effect on team success, but this LV Aces one seems to provide some interesting stuff. Plum will no longer be a point guard, and that role will go to top draft pick Young. This is a player who has had very little preparation to lead a WNBA team at the point. Remember also that Young is a shaky outside shooter, and has not exhibited any special court sense or passing ability. Guess we will see how this goes, but, perhaps of more note, is the lack of mention of Jefferson. Wonder if she is on the trading block. I can think of a couple of teams (Dallas; LA) that would love to have her.

Shades · Posted: 05/07/19 11:52 pm :::

That is surprising. Maybe he saw Young playing PG for ND and has always preferred a bigger lead guard, you know, like Katie Smith.

Jefferson for Brown might be a trade that would work well for both teams.

It's really hilarious. Bill's big lead guard obsession. I thought the Aces would be more competitive this year, but if this is true, I expect them to be back in the lottery again next year.

Jefferson, Park, and next year’s 2nd round pick for Cambage?
Point out to Cambage that Vegas is close to LA. Then Vegas beats up on the Sparks.

If Cambage commits long term, maybe Laimbeer would go with a first round pick instead of second.

JYoung/Plum
McBride/Rodgers/Nared
TYoung/Hamby
Wilson/Harrison
Cambage/Swords/Bone

Young at lead guard really isn't that big of a deal.

The 1 the 2 and the 3 will probably be J. Young, Plum and McBride. Young can bring the ball up and initiate the offense, kind of what she was doing at ND for the 2nd half of the season, Plum can set up as more of a perimeter SG but still do some slashing and passing as well, McBride continues to do what she has always done, and then on defense plum guards the 1, McBride the 2 and Young the 3. I don't think it will be that big of a change in role for anyone.

Training camp/minimum contracts do not count against the cap until season starts and they make team
