Chicago Sky’s rookie forward, Angel Reese, is determined to help recruit new talent to the team during the 2025 WNBA free agency period. With a promising young core consisting of Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, and Chennedy Carter, the Sky are looking to build a competitive roster for the upcoming season.
Reese, who described herself as “a good GM on the low,” has been in communication with general manager Jeff Pagliocca regarding potential players interested in joining the team. Despite the Sky’s historical struggles in signing and retaining marquee talent, the addition of players like Reese has brought new hope to the franchise.
The team’s plans to construct a dedicated practice facility by December 2025 demonstrate a level of commitment and investment in the team’s success that has been lacking in the past. Additionally, with the second-highest projected salary cap space in the league, the Sky have the financial flexibility to make strategic moves in free agency.
However, the upcoming free-agent class may not offer as many opportunities for the Sky to sign top-tier talent, as several star players have already re-signed with their current teams. The uncertainty surrounding the collective bargaining agreement adds another layer of complexity to the free agency process, with players and teams alike preparing for potential changes in the salary cap and contract negotiations.
Despite these challenges, Reese’s proactive approach in reaching out to potential recruits highlights the team’s determination to improve and compete at a higher level in the upcoming season. As the Sky continue to build their roster and navigate the evolving landscape of the WNBA, Reese’s efforts could play a crucial role in shaping the team’s future success.
