Earlier today I had the strongest desire to see Dallas f*ck around and trade for both Tina Charles and Sylvia Fowles. Obviously I'm still thinking about all those first-rounders the Wings have both this year and next. I just really, really, reeeeeeeally want to know how they're planning on dealing with that. Twisted Evil

Cuz Brian Agler isn't trying to hear "With the _ Pick, the Dallas Wings select" repeated by the Commish at the podium four different times. Laughing

A lot of those players remain really cuttable. And if you've got 5 players who are all worth 20 cents each, it doesn't mean someone's trading you a dollar for them. I can see people being interested in their draft picks; I can't see too many people being interested in the players they'd like to combine into a package and get rid of.

Jefferson, Ogunbowale, the #2 pick(Sabally), Ndour & Harrison should be their starters. if I were to pick 12 to assemble their roster, it would be:

PG: Jefferson/#7 pick
SG: Ogunbowale/Gray/Mabrey
SF: Sabally/Katie Lou Samuelson
PF: Ndour/Thornton/#5 pick(Hebert)
C: Harrison/McGee-Stafford

Bertsch, Gustafson & Karlie Samuelson are on training camp contracts. Anigwe & Davis are on rookie contracts. The #9 pick might beat out Mabrey. I wonder if the Wings can offer Hill a buyout similar to what the Aces did last year with Kelsey Bone? No one is making the max in Dallas, so it might be an option.

So let's assume then that absolutely no more moves are made between now and the draft, and they make do with exactly what they have as of now. Here's what I came up with:

PG: Ogunbowale/Jefferson
SG: Gray/Hill
SF: Thornton/KLS
PF: #2/Harrison
C: Ndour

Remaining Perimeter Players: Davis, K-Sam, Mabrey
Remaining Post Players: Anigwe, IMS, Gustafson, Bertsch
#5, 7, 9, 15, 21 (coincidentally, this totals 21 assets in all)

Hill would all but have to agree to a buy-out if the Wings want her gone, but A) Why would she do that when there's a very high chance that no other team would want her? and B) I think the Wings will try and make it work for the year, helped by the fact that this is the last year on her contract.

In this setup, Ogunbowale continues to start at PG and Jefferson gets eased back into things from the bench. That would fill the PG hole and create more openings for their many "wing" players to get playing time. The 9 listed in the depth chart are virtual guarantees; Still, maybe one of those players on there gets cut, is bought out, or sits out (Ndour is of course on the Spanish National team).

That leaves 3 or 4 remaining spots... for the remaining 12 people in the Players&Picks Pile. There's no way the #5 doesn't make it. I'd even be surprised if the #7 didn't make it. That leaves as many as 3 spots - and as few as one spot. Bye, Bertsch. I'm surprised they even re-signed McGee-Stafford, considering a mediocre year last year and the speculated work-ethic issues that led to her release in Australia earlier in the winter, but she won't stop being 6'7 anytime soon. Gustafson really should've given her free agent status a chance, for her own sake; but maybe she did, and the Wings were just able to persuade her to come back. I could see Anigwe getting cut here since Curt Miller even casually said at one point that Anigwe was having a hard time adjusting to either his system or the W in general - and obviously she's here and not there anymore - but she might have the most upside out of this entire group. K-Sam is totally superfluous with the addition of her younger, taller, better sister; but it's tough to say if Agler will actually let her go for real this time. Mabrey is truly a bizarre addition, as she basically profiles as another Samuelson, but she arguably would've had even less of a chance in LA given the guards they've brought in. And Davis' time with the Wings should really be put out of its misery already, but maybe they actually value her - she was a part of their rotation the entire season last year, after all.

So to the other three picks I didn't mention: good f*cking luck to you all.

How many are allowed in training camp - 15 or 17? So 4 or 6 players in this scenario would have to be unavailable (still be overseas, etc.) at the start of training camp, and maybe the Wings already know that this will be the case.

Overall, I continue to be very skeptical that the Wings will be content to cut 9 players - with nearly half of those being legit maybe-even-more-than-fringe-W players. So that's why I think at least one big move is coming. But even if it never does, they could do little two-for-one deals that cut their raw number of assets down. Vegas and Connecticut in particular are slim on pieces - they should call them up first. Too, they should hit up the other teams with first-round picks and see if those teams want to trade down, allowing the Wings to trade up.

The ideas though that the Wings are just gonna stay like this and that basically none of these other players (or picks) that they've stockpiled have no value are absolutely preposterous - to me, anyway. Now that they've gotten rid of who they needed to; I, for one, am very excited to see how creative they get the rest of the way. Wink
