If Dallas was smart they wouldn’t want Paige anyways. Shes not even the best player on UConn. She in no way is a 1st pick. She’s 5th at best. But people seem to think being popular on social media is more important than basketball skill…as we have seen with Reese fans.
How did reese get popular on social media? How did Paige get popular on social media
@@Xfactor444-x4n Deion's daughter Shelomi has a zillion followers so on floor talent isn't required.
She will bring in more fans ($) than any other pick…

Reese got famous for flashing her hands towards Caitlin bro
And she stayed famous for being half naked
I don't say that out of hate bro
I don't like Carrington as much as Reese but I can admit Carrington can play well man
Reese is very average
#'s picks are mostly decided by what the team also primarily needs. I'm betting even Paige would approve if they took other PG's over her. It's not really on her until she actually says something and actually makes a move.
I don't want to hear any more comparisons to CC. Paige is a coward that lacks the fortitude to build anything. She always chooses the easiest path. CC goes to Iowa and builds a national program. CC goes to Indiana which was horrible in the office and coaching. Now the owners are all in with staff and facilities. Paige wants the foundation in place while CC is the foundation.
100%. That's such a joke that anyone would compare Paige and CC. CC is far superior to PB.
@lisareynolds9799 CC is a coward for declining the 3 point challenge. Sabrina did it and did it well
For the most part I agree with you but the Indiana thing was not really about "Building Indiana who was trash." Her boyfriend had an assistant coaching job with the Pacer's, of course she was gonna go to Indiana.
Oh, come on...
Calling anyone a coward for where they chose to go to school is ridiculous. Wanting to go to an established program rather than somewhere else to build one is not cowardice, it's personal priorities and preference.
We also haven't heard anything from Paige herself or her camp about Dallas. It's all just rampant speculation by people on the outside. Even Sue Bird is on the outside.
@ CC was also a 100% Lock to go #1, Paige might be like a 90% chance but its not the same. How dumb would Paige look if she posts all this stuff about Dallas and they Pick Oliva Miles.
At this rate Paige will 40 years old and still trying to decide if she is declaring for the draft.
Too be fair, it may be financially better to enter the league under the new cba. To me, the cba situation is all that matters when people decide to enter the draft this year or not. If its not favorable to sign this year, a player may as well stay in college where you get paid more anyways.
@@_PatrickO Have to think adjusting existing rookie scale will be part of CBA. They may even lower the age eligibility, and Paige could be pushed into a draft with JuJu and Hannah.
@@_PatrickObro Paige is a millionaire through NIL deals that wnba contract is peanuts to her 😂 that’s the dumbest excuse to not declare for the draft stop the cap
@@Sevon-g4d You just reinforced it. Why enter a league that cuts her earnings when she can keep earnings higher by staying in college for her full eligibility?
I feel like this year is the least desirable year in a while for a player to enter the WNBA because players are earning way more in college now.
@ you realize she doesn’t lose her nil deals after going pro right? If anything she’ll be able to get more endorsements 🤦🏾♂️
Dallas has a photo of her, so it's basically a done deal. lol.
This is funny... For a lot of reasons, but Paige gotta worry about her legacy.
At this rate, those 8 point games gonna make her [HIGHEST UCONN PPG AVERAGE] drop at this point. Paige definitely screwing herself.
Hannah is running-away with POTY award, with Betts being the only real challenge now.
Paige is nowhere near the running of the top 5.
This NCAA run gonna define her as a player, especially if she drops those 8 point games.
Massive injury risk.
Sue bird is Seattle ownership and is trying to get Paige there how can you not see that, or at least consider it.
He forgot to consider this point, it was the first thing that came into my mind when he mentioned Sue Bird's name.
Paige shouldn’t be the number one pick anyway. She will go where she is drafted though. You can see the whole UConn community trying to cover for her though. She obviously doesn’t want to go to Dallas or top UConn personalities wouldn’t be talking about it.
I’d love to see her up here in Seattle! It might get me to the Storm games again.
She's an activist
What else did you expect?
Like she would be grateful for anything ever
Geno Auriemma will make sure
Paige gets what She wants.
UCONN has a certain amount of Authority in The WNBA ! ALSO Sue Bird may have a certain amount to do with this since Sue is part Owner of The SEATTLE STORM !
The rumor won't die because Mick won't let it.😂
This is the truth. No one close to Paige has actually said anything one way or another. It's just a rumor that people won't let go.
@@aden538There’s probably some level of truth to it, but Paige’s camp is probably also very aware of the perception and controversy that would follow if they actually did try to do something like that
Paige is much less skilled and far more entitled.
@@LouSeph Let's not forget that entitlement isn't totally bad if properly used.
Women's rights is just one arena where we have past entitled brats to be thankful for. Speaking of which, I wonder how big of a factor Texas's poor track record in women's rights is in Paige seemingly refusing to play for Dallas...
Just because a team has the first pick doesn't mean they have to pick the #1 prospect. If Dallas knows what kind of system they are trying to affect, they could possibly pick way down the board. I know Dallas went crazy on media about Paige, but if Miles is #1 to #5, I don't think there's a big difference. I wouldn't want a player on my team that didn't want to be there. Of course, I know there are "business" decisions that are interwoven into the whole thing. I ain't saying Paige is overrated, I AM saying that some of these other ladies may just be underrated. At any rate, I wouldn't mess with the draft rules to suit one player. I also don't agree with rumors of doing away with the draft altogether.
Paige Beuckers is a spoiled brat. If I were Dallas, I would want Cameron Brink or Rickea Jackson + a #1 pick [take it or leave it]. I wonder how PB will be treated by the players if she really goes through this [will they rough her up?].
Paige never said she wouldn’t play for Dallas. However, if she doesn’t play for them I agree with you.
If I am Dallas I would make that trade in a heartbeat, but if I am Seattle I'm hanging up the phone if you ask for all that.
If the Dallas pursue Paige she will be back in UConn both Olivia and Paige one year eligibility to return to college. Or she demands a trade
Dallas is a huge market, but like Atlanta the WNBA has a minor league presence.
The mavericks have to show more support, just like the pacers to for the fever and the warriors ate doing for the valkyries.
Question remains, come the end of the season, is she still the number 1 pick?
I’ve been saying since that trade that Paige was gonna end up in Seattle. Olivia will end up in Dallas.
As I see it, Dallas will draft her no matter what. Then, if she doesn't want to play, she will be traded. They won't trade the pick
I don't think they would have to trade the pick...just don't pick her.
Snotty isn’t she
Well not yet. She never said anything about this. It’s just people making it up and reporting it.
Sue Bird and Paige have the same agent
The media that covers this league and pundits like Swoopes and others have a longstanding record of spewing BS to try to will it into existence. I doubt Paige would pull an Eli Manning/ John Ellway and refuse to play for a team. If she does having not won a national championship in 5 tries, not looked great this year and the injury history i'd be off the Paige bandwagon.
paige is not at ALL the kind of person to not go to dallas because she “doesn’t want to.” sure, it’s probably her not first pick. but paige trusts God and knows that this is in His plan for her.
Also a good player will thrive wherever they land. To me, not wanting to be on a team is against the entire reason they let bad teams get early draft picks.
If she doesn't ,she would be upsetting the system so much , especially during the time players are getting traded to teams they may not have wanted to go to.And here she is refusing to go ,as everyone before has done ,before her. Bad look.
Paige + Satou to the Liberty for Fiebich, Laney-Hamilton and 1st round pick
Nah...That will never happen
Hopefully true
If Paige refuses to go to Dallas, I would no longer have any respect her. This may set a precedent for future players to do the same.
If players pick and chose where they go, there would be no reason for small market teams to exist. You want to bring excitement to you fan base with the draft and free agency. Look how excited Fever players and fan were when the got the number 1 draft pick.
So you have no respect for Euroleague players either then? That kind of behavior, while frowned upon in the WNBA, is a common occurrence in the Euroleague.
Paige has elite level talent and will be a great player in the WNBA, but Gino has coached the specialiness out of her
Paige has been nothing more than good, not elite...good. She will go number 1 bc of her name and that's all. If Betts declares, she's number 1.
What makes elite specifically, to you?
He said, "she hasnt even declared for the draft yet". Who declares for the draft DURING the season?? Like what?? Who has officially declared for the draft as of now? Men or women?? Do better dude
Three number one picks to move up one spot in the draft makes no sense whatsoever. None. Who are these people that come up with stupid ideas like this? If this deal gets done, it’s going to be for a heck of a lot less.
Paige should take a look at Hailey Van Lith's model on how to almost wreck a reputation. Or maybe she already has and is going to follow that example. As a new W fan I was ready to accept the Paige rep at face value. Not anymore.
Paige appears to be a shadow of her former self on the court. She may no longer be in a position to dictate who she is or isnt going to play for.
I'm clutching My invisible pearls wondering where Paige is going to go😮😮😮😮😮😮
GUUURRRLLLLLLLL😂😂😂😂
I wasn’t aware that players can decide what team they get drafted to. Who does she think she is?
dude who wouldn't want to pay in Dallas? Rich culture.... amazing food..... live music and comedy all the time.... and most importantly NO STATE INCOME TAX
Texas has a poor track record in women,s rights...
Trade
Li
2nd pick this year and the 2nd pick
Plus last year's pick in the first round
Olivia is back in ND if she is picked by Dallas
I feel like you’ve made this video like 3x
I'm losing sleep worrying about where Paige is headed in the W.
Paige is terrible. She just stands around on offense and only scored 8 points the other night.
If i was Dallas i pick Paige & sit her on the bench till she change her mind to play for them
That would work out poorly for them
I think the best place for Paige is the Chicago Sky for the sole purpose of being mentored by Sloot, who is basically a veteran version of Paige... Now how can the Sky get Paige, Give up their #3, and the 2026 first round pick they got from the Sun??????????
How on earth is sloot a veteran version?
@ you obviously don’t know her game
@@paulgreegs2734 yeh I do.. I’ve been watching sloot for years, leading the country in assists, but she ain’t much of an offensive player, rather she’s one hell of a facilitator.. which Paige isn’t.
Dallas/Ft. Worth is a huge, growing, exciting metro market. Why would anyone not want to play there?
The kind of player who needs to be away from the spotlight to excel, and women's basketball is one of those sports where such players definitely exist (maybe even second to hockey, as hockey is by far the sport with the most players who need to stay out of the spotlight to excel).
Paige Buckles
She juste had a 8 points and 3 assists game. What a let down she has been so far this year.. i tought she would average at least a 25+ppg
What about Paige going to the Sun to get in on the rebuild, point guard beside D'J if Paige could stand her? Marina to the Wings to point guard for Arique. Paige would be in UConn territory.
The draft has rules. How can she just bypas rules? Cause she is special?
Wish Dallas would get Olivia Miles.
They totally can. How smart are they? We will see
Would be funny if the fever put together a trade to get the number 1 then took flaujae
& then again she might not go in the first round
Heres a question... Lets say you were in Paiges shoes... youre already a multimillionaire and you know you're going to be the number 1 pick in the draft at the end of the current college season and the team dafting you can offer you a max contract, 80k per year, for around 240k locked in for 3 years...
Or... you could choose to sit out the WNBA season, play Unrivaled in 2026 and then, after the new collective bargaining agreement is in place, sign with a team for 500k per year for 3 years locking yourself in for 1.5 million or more?
So, is it entitlement wanting to make 1.5 million instead of 240k? Or is it common sense?
And skill wise shes shooting around 56% from the field, with around 4 assists, 4 boards and barely 1 turnover per game in 28/29 minutes. Yep, she sucks.. Lol...
Diamond Dallas Paige™
Rumor has it she does not want to go there because of Arike. Ball dominant. Dallas is also a sorry franchise.
She’s a rookie with no track record in the WNBA. She doesn’t get to decide where she goes. Who is she? A good college player. That’s it. Arike is a star.
Kiki is a role player... won't be in league in 4 years
Paige is the new Eli. Haven’t heard what Dallas is doing in Free Agency….waiting on Satou trade. Think Paige wants to play in LA. So my question….should Paige end up at Dallas….is she going to pout or give her all.
If she wants to play in the WNBA, she needs to prove herself. She’s no one as a pro until she does that. I expect her to break every one of Caitlin Clark’s records in 2025 or the hype was for nothing.
Spoiled Brat
Tbh, I would be like aww suck it up. But there are rare situations I think stars should refuse and I think this is one of them. Look at Eli, 1000 % made the right choice.
Eli manning did it to the chargers in 2004. I remember because i got drafted by the cubs organization in 2004 out of high school but went to purdue instead lol long story short i tore my acl twice in 2 years so that never worked out.
