Angel Reese-Paige Bueckers team-up a possibility via trade?

Asking both players to be in the starting lineup is a disaster for the 2-5 Sky, and reporter Karli Bell suggested that Chicago would likely have to trade away Reese or Cardoso to give the team a suitable fix for Vandersloot this season.

“If the Sky wanted to go and get another point guard quickly, this (trading Reese or Cardoso) is the fastest way to do it without taking a salary hit,” Bell wrote. “Both Reese & Cardoso are big names that draw in the fans and are absolutely big trade capital for the Sky. If you were to trade either of them, it could be a 2-for-1 type of trade: Cardoso or Reese for two guards or a guard and a wing.”

Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers team up?

Bell thinks five teams would consider trading with Chicago, and one of those teams is the Dallas Wings.

“The question is who needs a forward or a center right now that also has something to give in return? The teams that I could see entertaining this type of trade are the Las Vegas Aces, Dallas Wings, Golden State Valkyries, Connecticut Sun or the Seattle Storm,” Bell wrote. 

Reese could team up with A’ja Wilson on the Aces or Paige Bueckers on the Wings. The addition of Reese on Dallas would make the tickets for Wings’ home and road games go up even more. They could become one of the more entertaining duos in the coming seasons. Reese and Wilson would also be an exciting pair, helping Wilson gain more deserved spotlight while being paired with a young and vocal voice for the WNBA. But should the Sky rush into a trade? It depends on where the Sky see value. It’s becoming clear this season that Reese has a limited skill set. But she does help with publicity and ratings.
