Quiet trade deadline day

Joey Mistretta ·

With just over 30 minutes remaining until the trade deadline, it appears the Sun-Mystics swap of Jacy Sheldon for Aaliyah Edwards may be the only deal completed on deadline day. Although it was a quiet deadline day, there were two previous trades made earlier in the week. As a result, this has been one of the busier deadline weeks in recent memory.

The reason Sheldon was traded

Joey Mistretta ·

The Sun and Mystics agreed to trade Aaliyah Edwards for Jacy Sheldon on Thursday. According to Alexa Philippou of ESPN, Sheldon was "happy off the court" but wanted to be better utilized on the floor in Connecticut. The trade should give Sheldon what she is looking for. 

Wings likely won't make another trade

The Wings are not expected to make another trade after analyzing their roster, a source tells ClutchPoints. Dallas had interest in adding a forward but ultimately decided against making a deal.

Will Storm make another trade?

Wings' potential trade candidate

Joey Mistretta ·

Wings forward Myisha Hines-Allen could draw trade interest ahead of the deadline. However, her contract would make a potential deal coming to fruition difficult. 

Valkyries' Martin a trade candidate?

Fever's trade deadline outlook

Joey Mistretta ·

The Fever may "stay where they're at" ahead of trade deadline, Chloe Peterson of indystar.com reports. Indiana seems to believe in its current roster. Cap space will also surely play a role in the Fever's trade deadline outlook.
