New York Times mock….. I’ve seen two different mocks and looks like we will pick the former Dallas starting PG? Will be interesting learning all these new players.

I'll be curious if they would go with Arike if the opportunity presents itself. She'd certainly be the biggest name that the Fire could acquire as a former fringe MVP candidate. She's also become really inefficient of late, shooting 36% last year. The Fire seem to want to lean into the analytics, and I can't imagine that Arike looks good there, but there has got to be a certain appeal of having the more accomplished, WNBA version of Jamal Crawford on board to generate fan interest and some exciting highlights.

Do our FIRE go the youth route, or the experienced more costly? We will see. I predict at least 65 wins in their first season.
