Wings rumors: Insider suggests DiJonai Carrington could be trade candidate
Dallas Wings forward DiJonai Carrington has endured an up and down first season with the team. Dallas acquired Carrington via trade during the offseason. With Carrington set to enter free agency following the '25 campaign, could the Wings consider moving her ahead of the upcoming WNBA trade deadline? Alexa Philippou of ESPN recently claimed she has heard Carrington's name mentioned as a possible trade candidate, something she said on ESPN, via Shabazz on X, formerly Twitter.
'There are a few teams I'm keeping my eye on,' Philippou said. 'Dallas is one of them. They're a team… already made an in-season trade to offload NaLyssa Smith, I've heard the name DiJonai Carrington brought up in WNBA circles about someone who could potentially be on the move.'
In all reality, Philippou is not making some extremely bold declaration about Carrington's future. There is certainly still a chance that the forward will remain in Dallas past the trade deadline.
With that being said, Carrington's future with the Wings is far from certain. Dallas is rebuilding and trading her for picks/younger players may be an option.
Carrington, 27, is averaging 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals per outing across 19 games played so far in the 2025 season. A strong defender, Carrington could instantly impact a contender. Her offense has been far from consistent this year, but teams would likely still be open to adding a player with respectable offensive and stellar defensive potential.
The Wings will have multiple challenging decisions to make before the upcoming trade deadline. Players such as DiJonai Carrington, Arike Ogunbowale and Teaira McCowan are all set to enter WNBA free agency following the season. That does not mean they will all be traded, but Dallas, as mentioned, will have difficult decisions to make.
The 2025 WNBA trade deadline is scheduled for August 7 at 3 PM EST.

Lakers jersey history No. 2 — Jarred Vanderbilt
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary. As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years. Here's a look at current Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt was a second-round draft pick by the Orlando Magic in 2018. He played one season of college basketball at the University of Kentucky, and he got very little playing time during his first two seasons in the NBA. During the 2020-21 season, his third in the pros, he started to emerge as a strong defender and rebounder as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was sent to the Utah Jazz during the summer of 2022 as part of the deal that brought Minnesota's Rudy Gobert, and in February 2023, he arrived in L.A. as part of the trade that jettisoned beleaguered guard Russell Westbrook. Lakers fans quickly took a liking to the energetic and defensive-minded Vanderbilt, as he helped the team surge late in the season and reach the Western Conference finals. He has been riddled with injuries since, but after returning from a foot injury midway through the 2024-25 campaign, he remained relatively healthy. His big weakness is his lack of outside shooting, which has caused his playing time to dwindle during the playoffs. But he can still help out off the bench as an energy and hustle player as L.A. looks to become an elite team again.

On Saturday, Jerry Jones was mum on Micah Parsons (which might say plenty)
Last Saturday, Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones said plenty about linebacker Micah Parsons. This Saturday, Jones said nothing. Asked about the status of the conversations with Parsons by Kristi Scales of 105.3 The Fan before the preseason opener against the Rams, Jones offered up s word shrimp salad. "I'm glad to see he's working out, in shape, and feels great, and so all of that's good, and, I don't have anything to comment on," Jones said. Given the extent to which Jones has been talking (and talking . . . and talking) about Parsons, the silence speaks volumes. Especially with the Hollywood premiere of the Netflix All-About-Jerry docuseries happening on Monday. This week will be about promoting The Jerry Show, which debuts on August 19. What better way to start the push for the latest NFL-Netflix partnership than to dominate the sports news with the signing of Parsons to his overdue long-term deal? Hey, if the series does well enough, maybe the NFL will end up owning 10 percent of Netflix, too.
