Major Trade in the WNBA: Angel Reese Moves to Atlanta Dream
In a significant shift within the WNBA, Angel Reese has been traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for two first-round draft picks. This move allows the two-time All-Star a fresh start and a chance to compete at a higher level.
The Trade Details
Reese’s trade comes after her criticisms of the Sky’s organization last September, hinting at her desire for a change. She will no longer play for Chicago, as she embarks on a new chapter with the Dream.

The trade marks one of the first major moves of what is shaping up to be a busy offseason in the WNBA, with a record number of free agents (over 80% of the league). In return, the Sky will acquire Atlanta’s first-round picks for 2027 and 2028. If Reese successfully integrates into her new team, which ranked third in the league last season, the draft picks may not be high.
A New Opportunity for Angel Reese
This trade presents Reese with her first real opportunity to be competitive in the league. After two challenging seasons at the bottom of the standings with Chicago, the former number 5 pick can now set her sights on the playoffs, assuming Atlanta can effectively navigate free agency. Fans are eager to see how this new dynamic unfolds.
