The Chicago Sky have signed guard Natasha Cloud, one of the most high-profile free agents who was still on the market, with sources telling ESPN the deal is for one-year, $555,000.
The Sky have also waived Hailey Van Lith with sources telling @kendra__andrews the reason was based on the coaching staff's "style-of-play preference."

When Raven Johnson first met Anthony Edwards in high school, she told him she'd beat him in 1-on-1.
Edwards: "She came into the gym with that exact same energy as me. She was like a younger version of myself.”
The two have shared a close bond ever since.

Breaking: 4x All-Star Arike Ogunbowale is signing a seven-figure, multi-year deal to return to the Dallas Wings, sources told ESPN.
Ogunbowale was eligible for the $1.4M supermax in 2026 but is taking less than that for the team to be able to build a quality roster

Correct, just for clarity, Allisha Gray's deal with ATL is not for the supermax
well deserved, and an exclamation mark on what has been an incredible ascension over the past three years in particular.
"max-plus" reads to me like sub-supermax (1.4) but over the regular (1.19). depending on what the per-year raises are, something like 3/$4M?
