Angel Reese is Over the Chicago Sky, But Where Could She Go Next?

It seems the honeymoon phase is officially over in the Windy City. Angel Reese, the fiery rookie who took the WNBA by storm, has apparently had enough of the Chicago Sky’s lackluster performance and isn’t shy about letting everyone know. After a season that can only be described as a trainwreck, Reese has put the front office on blast, and now the rumor mill is churning. If the “Chi-Town Barbie” decides to pack her bags, where could she land to actually compete for a title?

The Drama As It Happened

The drama reached a boiling point when Reese, in no uncertain terms, called out the organization, her teammates, and the general state of affairs. According to the Chicago Tribune, she’s “not settling for the same s–t we did this year.” You have to respect the honesty. With the Sky holding one of the worst records in the league, it’s not hard to see why she’s frustrated. This isn’t what she signed up for. Reese is a winner, and right now, the Sky are anything but.

This whole situation feels like one of those group projects where one person does all the work and still gets a C. Reese has been a double-double machine, shattering expectations and proving the pre-draft doubters spectacularly wrong. Meanwhile, the team around her has crumbled due to injuries, a lack of chemistry, and what seems to be a general lack of a winning strategy.

So, if Reese makes a power move, which teams should be blowing up the Sky’s phone? Let’s break down the most logical, and frankly, most exciting landing spots.

Could Reese Help Phoenix Rise From the Ashes?

If you’re looking for a team that’s just one piece away from being a legitimate title contender, look no further than the Phoenix Mercury. They have a solid core with Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, and Satou Sabally, but they’re seriously lacking a dominant force in the paint. They need someone who can gobble up rebounds and play tough interior defense. Sound familiar?

Putting Reese on this roster would be an instant upgrade. Her otherworldly rebounding and defensive tenacity are exactly what the Mercury are missing. Plus, she’s already close with Thomas and Copper, so the chemistry should be there from day one. Imagine that lineup. Frightening, right? The biggest hurdle here is the trade package. Phoenix doesn’t have a ton of attractive assets to send back to Chicago unless they’re willing to part with a boatload of future draft picks. But for a shot at a championship, it might just be worth it.
