Wings consider trading for Olivia Nelson-Ododa ahead of deadline

The Dallas Wings are evaluating a potential trade for Olivia Nelson-Ododa to strengthen their frontcourt and support Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd. Nelson-Ododa, currently with the Connecticut Sun, has demonstrated improved performance this season, averaging career-high stats in rebounds and shooting percentage. The Wings aim to address their frontcourt struggles, specifically with Alanna Smith's underwhelming play since joining the team. The trade deadline approaches on August 2, and Dallas General Manager Curt Miller is weighing the pros and cons of pursuit as they prepare for a possible playoff run. The asking price for Nelson-Ododa is expected to be significant given her status as the Sun's top trade asset.
