The Allisha Gray for Jackie Young trade idea is interesting for a number of reasons beyond the ones you list:
- New Wings head coach Latricia Trammell is defensive-oriented, first, second and third. That would be a good fit for Young, particularly given that she could be playing with defensive-minded Veronica Burton and offensive-oriented Arike Ogunbowale and Marina Mabrey (if she's resigned).
- Speaking of that, Young, Mabrey and Ogunbowale all kinda know each other from their days at ND. Plus, Young and Mabrey spent an "offseason" playing for Perth down under.
I'm not convinced that Vegas would want to do this trade. It's essentially a like-for-like deal and I don't think Young isn't part of the good vibes in LV for keeping Wilson happy.
Since Gray reportedly wants out of Dallas, this trade would literally be as good as it gets for them though. As a Wings fan I would genuinely be as excited about Young joining the team as I would be sad that Gray is leaving. Anyone else (realistic) skews harder to sadness.
Diana finishing her career in LA would be kinda hilarious... even if I'd expect it to go about as well as the Lakers are right now.
