The Atlanta Dream are exploring the possibility of acquiring Emily Engstler from the Portland Fire before the trade deadline. Engstler, a versatile frontcourt player, offers shot-blocking and three-point shooting that could benefit the Dream’s already solid lineup. She is averaging 9.2 points per game this season and is known for her ability to contribute on both ends of the floor. The Dream currently hold a 16-10 record and are looking to further bolster their team after recently acquiring Angel Reese. However, they face challenges in trading future assets after previous deals.
