Angel Reese Is Getting Traded and Chicago Could Pull the Funniest Move Ever

Angel Reese might be done in Chicago. And honestly, this whole situation is wild.
The Sky haven’t been great this year. Angel pointed that out. Now everyone’s acting surprised that there’s drama in the locker room.
Here’s what happened: Angel got hurt. Came back. Got suspended for too many techs. Then got suspended again by her own team for basically saying the roster needs work and management should get better players.
Which… if you’ve watched the Sky this year, she’s not exactly wrong. They’ve been inconsistent all season.
Now multiple teams are interested in an Angel Reese trade. Because apparently being honest about your team’s struggles gets you put on the trade block.
The Situation Is Pretty Wild
Let me break this down. Angel Reese is averaging a double-double in her second year. She’s one of the more marketable players in the league. She brings viewers to games.
But Chicago is ready to move her because she said what everyone was already thinking about their roster.
That’s like getting mad at the person who points out there’s a problem instead of, you know, fixing the problem.
The Sky have struggled for most of the season. Angel has been one of their consistent bright spots. She rebounds like crazy and clearly wants to win games.
But apparently having opinions about winning is controversial now.
Chicago’s Options Are Interesting
So what can Chicago do here?
Option 1: Keep her and try to smooth things over. Have some team meetings. Get everyone on the same page. Hope the roster issues magically resolve themselves.
Option 2: Trade her to a team that fits her better. Get some value back while her stock is still high.
Reports say multiple teams with cap space and a need for frontcourt help are already circling. Makes sense – teams that know how to build rosters want the player who called out bad roster construction.
The Move That Would Break the Internet
But here’s where this gets genuinely hilarious. What if Chicago traded Angel Reese to Indiana to play with Caitlin Clark?
Think about this for a second. These two have had beef since college. The stare-downs. The trash talk. The rivalry that carried over from LSU-Iowa into the WNBA. They’ve been going at it for two years straight.
Now picture them as teammates.
Imagine Angel setting screens for Caitlin. Imagine them running pick-and-roll together. Imagine the press conferences where reporters ask about “putting their differences aside for the team.”
This would be appointment television. Every single game would be must-watch just to see how this partnership works. The storylines would write themselves.
And here’s the crazy part – it would probably work on the court.
Indiana needs frontcourt help. Caitlin needs someone who can finish around the rim and grab offensive rebounds. Angel does both of those things at an elite level.
The Fever have cap space. They have a young core. They have the most popular player in women’s basketball drawing record crowds.
Add Angel to that mix? Every game sells out. Every highlight goes viral. The content would be unmatched.
What This Really Means
Look, Angel wasn’t wrong about Chicago’s situation. They haven’t figured out how to build around their talent. Multiple seasons of pieces that don’t quite fit together.
Angel pointing that out isn’t being difficult – it’s being honest about wanting to win basketball games.
But the WNBA doesn’t always reward that kind of honesty. Sometimes you’re expected to smile and play along even when things aren’t working.
The teams showing interest know what they’re getting: a double-double machine who wants to win and isn’t afraid to speak up about it. For the right organization, that’s exactly what you want.
The Bottom Line
Angel Reese is probably getting traded because Chicago can’t figure out how to make this work. She’ll likely end up somewhere that fits her better and puts up even better numbers.
And if she somehow ends up in Indiana playing next to Caitlin Clark after two years of rivalry?
We’re all going to be glued to our screens watching the most unlikely partnership in sports. Like a buddy cop movie where the two cops couldn’t stand each other at first.
Chicago has the opportunity to create the most entertaining storyline in women’s basketball. They probably won’t do it because it’s risky and unconventional.
But man, it would be incredible content if they did.
Either way, this offseason is going to be fascinating. The WNBA needs more storylines like this. Drama gets people talking. Drama gets people watching.
And nothing would create more drama than putting Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark on the same team after they’ve spent two years as rivals.
Someone should make this happen. The content alone would be worth it.
