“This trade is designed to achieve roster balance and represents a great opportunity for all parties,” the Sky said in a statement.
Reese is the WNBA’s most dominant force on the glass. As the rebounding champ of the last two seasons, she was already receiving MVP votes after her rookie year. Now, she’s headed to Atlanta.
“I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization,” Reese said. “I’m focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I’ve got to the Dream.”
The Sky went 1-13 last season without Reese and just 10-34 overall while missing the playoffs for the second straight year.
