Alanna Smith, forward for the Dallas Wings, is reported as a possible trade target for the Phoenix Mercury ahead of the WNBA trade deadline on Sunday. After averaging 3.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in limited play this season, her value has diminished despite her DPOY status from last year. The Mercury are looking to improve their disappointing 10-18 record. Smith has battled injuries this season and been a limited contributor, missing time due to a concussion and a leg injury. Wings general manager Curt Miller expressed readiness to make moves as the team seeks to enhance its roster for a championship push.
