WNBA 2026

The WNBA can do whatever it wants. I will soon no longer have a local team to root for, so I don't care.

Yeah, same. Angel to Atlanta is a good fit, though she will need to work on her three point shot but I think her rebounding and defensive prowess will greatly help Atlanta. OTOH, with the historic 27/28 classes, I think Chicago may be the winner in the long run. My guess is that Atlanta is trying to stack the cards to win now and Chicago is following the Mystics blueprint with a full roster reload over the next few draft classes.

This is my take too. Angel and the front office clearly weren't a good match. Getting 2 future first round draft picks from Atlanta in 2 insanely deep drafts could become incredible value.

How Jeff Pagliocca finessed his way into becoming a GM without having any real experience
 
I actually think Chicago will benefit from this in the long run. There was definitely some locker room drama for the Sky, and I think they are taking steps to fix it.

I’m not sure Angel is what Atlanta really needed to vault themselves into winning a title, though. She fits what they want to do, but I think they needed more shooting and spacing.

The move makes me think Griner is moving on and they need more front court depth. If they're making moves like this, I highly doubt they're done.

I think it’s bigger than Griner. They are probably fine with her leaving, but I don’t see how Naz Hillmon and even Bri Jones fit into this. I believe Jones is coming off injury, but all of their posts occupy the same spaces. I think a stretch 4 would’ve been my move but they definitely aren’t done.

Considering how Hillmon's shooting range has extended significantly in the last couple years, I don't see that being an issue. Atlanta didn't play her solely in the post last year.

I’m saying I think Hillmon would probably want a larger role after working on her game so much. She could very much be happy coming off the bench again, but she could definitely get a starting role and significant pay day from some of these teams.
