Kelsey Plum traded to Phoenix Mercury
This might be one of those trades where everybody loses. Genuinely confused by the thought process here. Is this a “win now” move for Phoenix? #WNBA
asp0315.bsky.social1While they may not make playoffs but the could definitely act as spoilers to the top 8 team with plum copper AT bonner and lack along with held whitcomb and others that's a formidable team even though they defense is not that good.
asp0315.bsky.social1No even with plum they may not make playoffs u less they go on a crazy run. based on reports the gm contacted plum before greenlighting the trade and mercury fo put a statement which suggested they plan on keep her more than two months. (Nothing is offical though)
Dee1Phoenix wins, they needed a consistent pg or shooter badly. Plum fits better than Arike.
Pat from Portland1It's weird but I'm in for it. Trading a first is wild but KP with Kah and At and Bonner could be a lot of fun. Kinda hope they go on a quick run and make it playoff race
The Liberty are among the teams that have thrown their hat in the Kelsey Plum sweepstakes ahead of Sunday’s WNBA trade deadline. New York's conversations involving Plum have since stalled. nypost.com/2026/08/01/s...
Jackie Powell6Not surprised that the Atlanta Dream have also put their hat in the ring. ATL could use a veteran with postseason experience and Padover was Plum’s GM in Vegas before he moved onto the Dream.
Nanjala4Seeing the Atlanta Dream on this list makes me think that Naz Hillmon might be feeling her way out of the Dream. Naz and Angel play the same position and she is too good to be a bench player especially now that Bri is back. Plus her contract is only about $150k less than KP’s. #wnba
