The New York Liberty have already built one of the most stacked rosters in league history with Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu. However, Stewart called out her team<\/a> for not playing “championship-level basketball” near the end of the regular season\u2014ahead of a first-round playoff exit. <\/p>\n

To extend this group’s run, the Liberty may need to take a big swing and trade for one of the league’s fastest-rising young stars in Reese. They could offer a package built around Nyara Sabally, who’s under contract through 2026, along with 2027 first- and second-round picks.<\/p>\n

Sabally, 24, has shown flashes of becoming a versatile modern big who’s capable of bringing length to the block. On a rebuilding Sky team, she’d have the opportunity to expand her role and grow into a central piece.<\/p>\n

For New York, this would be about the present and the future. Reese’s rookie deal would be easy to absorb next to big contracts like Stewart ($208,400), Jones ($195,000) and Ionescu’s ($208,060), provided the Liberty retain them in free agency (or via the core designation) this offseason. <\/p>\n

Reese wouldn’t need to be a first or second option in New York if this core returns. Her relentless rebounding and ability to generate second chances would perfectly complement the Liberty’s firepower-heavy lineup.<\/p>\n

Reese would bring star power to the league’s biggest market, and New York would get a succession plan for its veteran core. Meanwhile, Sabally and two future picks would deliver both immediate value for Chicago and a chance to build toward the future with incoming draft capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Liberty have already built one of the most stacked rosters in league history with Breanna…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":["post-187346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
