The first day of WNBA free agency began with a blockbuster trade.
The Chicago Sky have decided to move on from Angel Reese, dealing her to the Atlanta Dream in a move that stunned the basketball world. Reese has emerged as one of the WNBA's bright young stars during her first two seasons in the league, though the Sky struggled throughout her tenure in Chicago. She seemed happy to be headed elsewhere.
"An Angel's DREAM," Reese shared to social media after the trade became public. "ATL WHAT UP?!"
Reaction to the deal varied depending on each team's perspective, with Reese providing a boost to a contending Dream roster that already featured Britney Griner, Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray. The Sky, meanwhile, appears headed for an extended rebuild after receiving two first-round draft picks in the transaction.
