The Dallas Wings are poised to make a major impact in the 2025 WNBA season after securing the No. 1 pick in the draft lottery, with Paige Bueckers widely expected to be their choice. While Bueckers has previously expressed an interest in joining the LA Sparks, fans and analysts are already speculating about the potential of her pairing with two All-Stars in Dallas.
Weighing in on the potential ‘Big 3’ in the Wings, a former Seattle Storm star, has sparked excitement across the league.
Sue Bird on Paige Bueckers joining the Wings.
With Bueckers being the No. 1 prospect in the upcoming draft, fans are eager to see her team up with Arike Ogunbowale. Sharing her thoughts on this potential pairing, in a recent episode of A Touch More with Megan Rapinoe, Bird opened up about the possible ‘Big 3’ if the Wings pick Bueckers on the WNBA draft and re-sign Satou Sabally. She said:
If you want to look at Big 3s across the league, if Dallas has Paige because of the No. 1 pick, Arike is already there and they re-sign Satou, that Big 3, will be up there with other Big 3s.
The key to building this ‘Big 3’ is re-signing Sabally, a situation that remains uncertain as she is looking for a summer of changes, which she recently revealed on her TikTok. If Sabally signs with another team, fans will still be excited to see the pairing of Bueckers and Ogunbowale. However, some fans, especially UConn Huskies supporters, are less thrilled about Bueckers joining Dallas, as they had hoped to see her with the LA Sparks instead.
As the 2025 WNBA season nears, all eyes will be on the Dallas Wings to see if they can build a powerhouse “Big 3” with Bueckers, Ogunbowale, and potentially Sabally. The coming months will be crucial in shaping the team’s future. In the meantime, Paige Bueckers’ performance in the ongoing season continues to turn heads.
