They began by acquiring All-Star forward Natasha Howard and rights to 2020 Rookie of the Year Crystal Dangerfield from the New York Liberty, sending Kayla Thorton away. Dallas then sent Allisha Gray to the Atlanta Dream before acquiring Diamond DeShields from the Mercury in a massive four team swap.

The 2023 WNBA draft was equally eventful. The Wings selected Villanova supernova scorer Maddy Siegrist with the third overall pick and made a surprising trade with the Washington Mystics to land the No. 4 pick, Iowa State center Stephanie Soares.
