The Dallas Wings have executed Curt Miller's vision for the offseason moves, positioning themselves to be very aggressive in the 2026 market. The team's financial architecture, including cap flexibility and veteran acquisitions, has been carefully planned to build around franchise cornerstones Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale. The signing of Alanna Smith, the reigning WNBA Co-Defensive Player of the Year, exemplifies this strategy. Smith's versatility and defensive impact, coupled with her character and chemistry with Ogunbowale, make her a valuable addition to the team. Jessica Shepard's signing further strengthens the frontcourt, providing high-efficiency veteran presence. The Wings' youth core, including Yueru, Aziaha James, and JJ Quinerly, remains intact, with the addition of Awak Kuier and Maddy Siegrist. The team's pitch to free agents, including top-tier facilities and a desirable market, has proven successful. With the upcoming draft, the Wings are poised to add another talented player to their roster, building upon a strong foundation and a unified team culture.
