3 potential Kelsey Plum trade destinations, ranked

Key Points:

• The Los Angeles Sparks, currently 10-17, are expected to trade star guard Kelsey Plum by the WNBA midseason trade deadline on Sunday, with multiple teams showing interest despite her injury challenges this season.
• Plum is having a career year, averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists per game, but has only played 12 of 27 games due to lower leg injuries.
• The Golden State Valkyries are considered the best fit for Plum, as they are playoff contenders with a strong defense and could benefit from her scoring and playmaking, especially if she commits to re-signing.
• The Dallas Wings are a strong second option, potentially looking to bolster their offense by trading key players for Plum to form a potent backcourt alongside Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd.
• The Washington Mystics are a dark horse candidate, with a solid defense and young core, but may hesitate to trade future assets for Plum given their current status as playoff hopefuls rather than immediate title contenders.
