WNBA offseason trade grades 2026: Winners and losers
"Angel Reese's days with the Chicago Sky seemed numbered last year after she publicly voiced concern about the team's future. It was evident then that there was a fracture between the franchise and Reese, and on Monday that turned into a trade sending her to the Atlanta Dream."
"Reese isn't just a good rebounder; it's almost uncanny how good she is. She keeps possessions alive on the offensive end and allows teams more opportunities to start the transition offense with her defensive boards."
"The Dream brought in longtime college coach Karl Smesko last season and he was a strong contender for coach of the year. Atlanta totally changed its offense under Smesko, who encourages a lot of 3-point shooting and more positionless play."
Angel Reese's trade from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream followed her public concerns about the team's future and dissatisfaction with the firing of coach Teresa Weatherspoon. Reese had a strong rookie season, showcasing her rebounding skills and offensive growth. The Dream, under coach Karl Smesko, aims to integrate Reese into a revamped offense that emphasizes 3-point shooting and positionless play. The Sky received future draft picks in the trade, while Atlanta looks to build a veteran core around Reese.
