The WNBA’s accelerated free agency and draft created one of the most chaotic roster-building stretches any league has seen, and when it ended, three teams stood above the rest: the Las Vegas Aces, New York Liberty, and Dallas Wings.

If a Democratic president were losing a war after promising peace, facing an Epstein-related cover-up cloud, and spending a critical moment yukking it up in Miami, the media would be treating it as a full-scale national crisis.

Angel Reese to Atlanta already feels like the kind of move that could elevate both the player and the franchise. If the Dream are built around Reese, Allisha Gray, and Rhyne Howard, that is an elite big three with the talent and presence to contend for a title.
