A blockbuster three-team trade that would send Sun star and former WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones to the Liberty is in the works, according to multiple reports.
News of the deal was first reported by Winsidr’s Rachel Galligan and later confirmed by ESPN. According to ESPN, Jones, who had one year left on a two-year deal she signed last offseason, requested the trade to New York, though the reasons behind the request are unknown at this time.
Howard Megdal of The Next Hoops reported that a possible framework of the trade involves the Sun, Liberty and Wings and is expected to see several notable assets on the move.
