First-year Dallas Wings head coach Chris Koclanes will not return next season, the Wings announced today. The DLLS Wings crew reacts to the news and looks ahead and what could be next to come for the team ahead of a pivotal offseason.

The Dallas Wings’ 2025 ride is officially over, and it’s time to hand out the grades. From Paige Bueckers’ record-setting rookie season to the ups and downs of the roster around her, we’re breaking it all down. Who gets an A, who needs summer school, and what does this mean for 2026? Plus, bold predictions for the offseason and next year’s leap.

The Dallas Wings play their final game of the season tonight against the Phoenix Mercury, closing the book on a brutal 2025 campaign. With just 9 wins, it hasn’t been pretty — but rookie Paige Bueckers gave fans plenty to talk about in her first year. Erika Day, Bobby Karalla, and Ali Jawad look back on the highs, the lows, and our favorite moments from a season full of chaos. Plus, what’s next for Dallas heading into the draft and 2026?

The Dallas Wings have clinched the highest odds for the No. 1 pick — but Paige Bueckers is still front and center in the Rookie of the Year race. Ali finally gets his ROTY debate, we unload our hottest Wings takes yet, and we dive into what “Not This Year” really means for Dallas’ future.

The Dallas Wings are officially eliminated from playoff contention with an injury list longer than a CVS receipt. But the big question remains: does Paige Bueckers already have Rookie of the Year locked up despite the Wings’ bottom-tier record? Erika, Bobby and Ali break down Paige’s historic rookie campaign, size her up against the rest of the ROTY field, and debate whether it even matters given the team’s struggles. Plus: the looming WNBA CBA negotiations and what a potential work stoppage could mean for the future of the Wings.

Paige Bueckers just put on one of the most legendary performances in WNBA history—44 points on 93% true shooting, the most points ever scored by a rookie, the highest single-game scoring mark of the season, and the second-most efficient 40+ point game in league history. But even that wasn’t enough. The Dallas Wings fell to the Sparks, officially eliminating them from playoff contention. We break down Paige’s historic night, what it means for her trajectory, and where the Wings go from here after another lost season.

The WNBA just leveled up—NBA 2K26 is adding WNBA players to MyTEAM for the first time ever. Erika Day and Bobby Karalla kick things off with everything you need to know about the new features, from mixing WNBA and NBA players in one lineup to game-changing new modes. Then Kevin Gray Jr. and Dorothy J. Gentry join the conversation as we break down the Dallas Wings’ heart-stopping 81-80 win over the Indiana Fever. Maddy Siegrist shines in her first start since June, Li Yueru delivers big off the bench, and we ask if Chris Koclanes just found the formula for winning close games.

The Dallas Wings made major moves at the trade deadline, sending DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson, and a 2027 second-round pick. But the shake-up didn’t stop there — Teaira McCowan was waived to finalize the deal, and Grace Berger was re-signed to yet another 7-day contract. We break down what this means for the rest of the Wings’ season, how the front office is positioning itself, and whether the vision is getting any clearer.

Dallas had a real shot to make this week mean something—handled New York early, Paige looked every bit the superstar we already know she is, and for a minute it felt like things might finally be turning around. Then Atlanta happened. A wild back-and-forth, a buzzer-beater dagger, and suddenly the Wings are right back where they’ve been all year: close, but not closing. Erika and Dorothy Gentry are getting into all of it. Paige’s ridiculous rookie stretch, why this team can’t finish games, and whether there’s any light at the end of this tunnel or if Dallas is just stuck spinning its wheels.

Paige Bueckers is settling into the league, Arike Ogunbowale is heating up, and Dallas is tweaking its lineup in all the right ways. Erika, Kevin Gray Jr., Dorothy J Gentry. and Quita Loves Sports break down the Wings’ growing momentum, what’s working with the new rotations, and why this team might be turning a corner.

The skid is over. The stars showed out. And Dallas finally looked like the team they were meant to be. With Arike Ogunbowale and Paige Bueckers clicking at the same time, the Wings notched their first home win — and maybe their most complete performance yet. Erika is joined by Bobby Karalla, Dorothy Gentry, and TakeFlightWNBA to unpack it all and look ahead to what could be a major turning point.

Paige Bueckers dropped a sensational 35 points in her return—her best game yet as a pro—and Luisa Geiselsöder quietly backed her up with an ultra-efficient 14. But it still wasn’t enough to snap the Wings’ losing streak. Erika is joined by Bobby Karalla, Kevin Gray Jr., and Dorothy Gentry to unpack the highs of Paige’s breakout, what’s still missing from this team’s overall effort, and whether a winnable matchup against a retooling Aces squad could be just what Dallas needs to get back on track.

The Dallas Wings went 0-for-the-weekend in a tough home-and-home with the Chicago Sky, then let a fourth-quarter lead slip away in Seattle. With Paige Bueckers still out, Arike Ogunbowale off her rhythm, and the team sitting at 1–7, the vibes are… not immaculate. Erika, Dorothy, KG & Bobby break down the biggest issues facing this roster, what DiJonai Carrington has brought to the floor, and how first-year head coach Chris Koclanes can steady the ship. Plus: what needs to change before tonight’s matchup with the LA Sparks?

Paige Bueckers is breaking records and Dallas is… still figuring out where to put her practice facility. On this week’s episode, Erika, Bobby and KG unpack everything from the Wings' explosive win in Connecticut to the *uncertain timeline* of their promised move to Memorial Auditorium.

Plus, Where does Arike Ogunbowale fit in this new-look roster, and how can Dallas get the most out of their core.
