The Sparks made a significant move by acquiring All-Star guard Kelsey Plum through a three-team trade involving the Aces and the Storm. While this trade costs the Sparks their No. 2 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, it fulfills their pressing need for a point guard. Plum, who is eager to remain in Los Angeles beyond the upcoming season, represents a strategic addition alongside veteran player Dearica Hamby, enhancing the team's overall roster. The trade signifies a promising future for the Sparks and bolsters fan optimism.
Kelsey Plum joins L.A. hoping to be a Spark beyond 2025, sources tell me. As a cored player, Plum had to be traded to leave Las Vegas, but she signed off, i.e. chose, Los Angeles as her new destination.
It should give Sparks fans optimism, then, that Plum chose LA and wants to remain with the Sparks. She's an All-Star point guard who will still be 30 years old once the season starts.
While it came at the cost of the No. 2 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Sparks fill their biggest need on the roster in the form of a point guard.
In all, it feels like a big win of a deal for LA.
