Atlanta Dream's Offseason Moves: Acquiring Angel Reese and Building for the Future
Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream had a disappointing end to the 2025 WNBA season despite a strong regular season performance. The Dream, with a 30-14 record, secured the No. 3 seed but fell to the Indiana Fever in the playoffs. Griner's stats dipped in her first year with Atlanta, with lower points, rebounds, and blocks per game, leading to her becoming a free agent after the season.
As Griner entered free agency, the Dream made a significant move by acquiring Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky. Reese, a standout player from LSU, had impressive stats in her first two WNBA seasons and had represented Team USA. The trade also involved draft pick swaps between the Dream and the Sky, with Atlanta gaining Reese's talents for the upcoming season.
The addition of Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream roster brings a new dynamic to the team and offers a fresh start for both Reese and the Dream. With Griner and Reese now part of the Dream's lineup, fans are eager to see how this new combination will impact the team's performance in the upcoming WNBA season.
