Kelsey Plum, G, Los Angeles Sparks Why she might be on the move: Plum was traded to the Sparks in a three-team deal in February 2025 after winning two titles with the Las Vegas Aces in 2022 and 2023. This season, she was off to a great start, averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists through 12 games. A team trading for her would want to be sure of two things: her health and her interest in signing a multiyear deal after this season. However, both these teams might be satisfied with the core they have now and unwilling to make a big swing for Plum. Last season, Morrow started 23 of 41 games, averaging 7.7 points and 6.9 rebounds. This season, she has started eight of 19 games and is averaging 11.1 points and 9.0 rebounds.
