Dan Padover said the Dream's approach to the expansion draft will be a collaborative effort between himself, Smesko and other members of the team's staff. "It's also better when you have more than one mind."

With that Liberty loss, Atlanta is about to walk into the 2nd spot in the standings!!!
Y’all still ain’t ready to “start dreaming” 😭😭😭 !
They are a legit contender.
Dan Padover should be walking into his 3rd Executive of the Year award for constructing this roster (twice before with the Aces).

wonder to what degree Padover will look for different players who fit Smesko's offensive style vs. who he had for Tanisha. Agreed Tanisha wasn't at fault for the lack of shooting on her roster.
I do not believe Tanisha was great but I’m standing on the offensive woes not really being her fault. Or at the very least, the personnel was a much larger issue than her play calling.
