Dallas gets the #1 overall pick in the next WNBA draft. They should draft Bueckers and trade Arike.

I like that choice. Even with Iriafen still on the board?

Discussing in the WNBA thread. This is a disaster for the Sparks. They don't need a front court player at all and desperately need an immediate impact PG. What happens after Paige in this thin draft will be a nice player for them, but not likely to make much difference.

Yes, I think so. They need a play making guard more than a center. Brink will hopefully be back and healthy. Probably pick up another center in free agency.

It remains to be seen whether Brink will come back strong, or even truly want to. You really never know what is going on inside a player's head -- especially one with a history of struggling with anxiety. She has also recently gotten engaged.

I think she’ll be back. She’s a hooper, she was there with her team today and stayed really active with the players even when she was injured.

She'll be back, with a vengance.

But the Sparks have to have some guards. And a coach.
