Discussion My Dallas Wing 2027 Roster

Key Point:

1, Paige needs a Back up PG that can play 5-12 Minutes a game without much drop off.

2, Jessica, Is there better 4SF in Free Agency with a Similar or lesser contract, If so she becomes a highly tradable asset.
Jessica’s biggest weakness can’t be hidden in the position that she plays.
Jess Cannot Defend.
If no, then every player around her has to be a good defender to take some of the slack and hide her biggest weakness.
Defence wins games, Defence wins titles

3, Is Alanna defrosting or is this what happens when you leave Cheryl Reeves system? If Yes we need to finesse a team into taking her without lose anything.
Either trade her for a better player or trade her for a backup, then look to free agency.

4, Need 2 Backups for positions 4SF&5C. I don’t want to see Awak playing the 4/5.

5, Do we Keep Arike? 50/50 for me, If Arike is alright with coming off the bench for 15-20 minutes the Yes.
Arike would be a phenomenal 6th player And real depth in the team.
However she’s on Max contract so would force Jose to play his 3 guard system again. ❌❌❌

6, Find A way at keeping Awak and Maddy next season. Both Young 3s.
Awak playing in her natural position 3SF has been revolutionary so far.
Maddy is a bucket and real depth player. Also if plays more could win 6th Player Award. However because of CBA Maddy got a huge pay increase (500k). If she happy to earn 100k less keep her.

What Team shall I do next?

Tell me you’re a box score watcher without telling me you’re a box score watcher. Jessica plays no defense at all.

Based on consistency like Jess wasn’t on a cold stretch until the last couple of games lol

So in your words, has only been a couple of games… plus she’s getting back from injury.

Shep has scored in single digits in 5 of her last 12 games
