Chicago Sky Trade Angel Reese to Dream for 2 First-Round Picks
The Sky gain two future first-round picks as they begin another roster reset after two rocky seasons with Reese.
- On Monday, the Chicago Sky traded two-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream for first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028, plus 2028 second-round pick swap rights.
- Tensions between Reese and the organization escalated last September after she criticized the front office, coaching staff, and teammates in an interview, following disputes over the 2024 firing of former coach Teresa Weatherspoon.
- Dream head coach Karl Smesko praised the acquisition, stating, "Her energy, toughness and instincts will thrive in our system," while Reese averaged 14.1 points and 12.9 rebounds per game in her two seasons with the Sky.
- Chicago General Manager Jeff Pagliocca stated the move "is designed to achieve roster balance and represents a great opportunity for all parties," allowing the Sky to reimagine their roster during free agency.
- The Dream, which finished 30-14 in 2025, aims to integrate Reese into a postseason-caliber roster, while the Sky will utilize the acquired draft picks to begin a comprehensive rebuild.
