Paige Bueckers Could Ditch Dallas to Join UConn Alum Per National Reporter's Bold Proposal
Despite Striewski’s skepticism, the idea that Bueckers could end up in Seattle has gained some momentum. This is mainly due to the Storm’s recent trade for the No. 2 pick in the draft. With that pick now in their hands, Seattle has a chance—albeit a slim one—to try and swing a deal for the top pick, potentially setting up a draft-day drama. If Bueckers decides against playing for Dallas, Seattle might just become her next destination.
Seattle, with its championship pedigree and star studded roster, could provide just that. It’s no wonder that some are speculating that Bueckers could prefer to join the Storm instead. For now, Bueckers’ future still looks tied to Dallas, but things can change in an instant.
So, what would it take for Paige Bueckers to end up in Seattle instead of Dallas? Seattle’s recent acquisition of the No. 2 pick has fueled lots of discussion about what exactly a trade will look like. Certainly, there are slim chances of this happening. But there are some reasons as to why the Storm might be able to pull off such a move.
First off, Seattle’s history speaks for itself. They have a long history of success with multiple championships. A team with such a rich history could be so very appealing for Bueckers. Also, given that WNBA legend and Uconn Alum Sue Bird is on the ownership group now, Seattle may actually feel even more like an ideal destination for her. Combine that with the Storm’s current assets, and suddenly, the idea of landing Bueckers doesn’t seem entirely out of the question.
