Angel Reese was traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream before the 2026 WNBA season. The exchange involved the Dream acquiring Reese and a second-round pick swap in 2028, while the Sky obtained first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. Chicago aimed to maximize Reese's value while strengthening their roster, as her performance did not lead to team victories in recent seasons.
