Chicago Sky's Top Trade Asset Named Amid Search For Roster Boost

The Chicago Sky are heading into the WNBA All-Star break with a lot of questions. With 10 players on the roster and a few of them seeing very limited playing time, it could be a sign that a roster move is on the way.

At this point, it seems a move is coming for the Sky one way or another, whether it is a seven-day deal or a trade. Annie Costabile of The Chicago Sun-Times named the Sky player who could be the biggest trade piece , and it's a bit of a surprise.

"Looking at the Sky’s roster, the most valuable trade asset is guard Dana Evans. Moving Evans would send shock waves through the fan base. Her future in Chicago was in question when coach Teresa Weatherspoon removed her from the starting lineup June 16," Costabile mentioned. "The question isn’t whether Evans can make an impact, but rather if Chicago is the best place for her. If Pagliocca makes a trade before the second half of the season, expect Evans to be at the center of it."

Evans has been paying a reserve role ever since Teresa Weatherspoon removed her from the starting lineup in mid-June.

In the past five games following the loss to the New York Liberty on Saturday, Evans has a total of 12 points and she has played fewer than 10 minutes in three of those contests.

On the year, Evans is averaging 7.9 points per game with 3.0 assists, and it looks like her time with the Sky is running low. She has been a fan favorite during her days in Chicago, but her limited role might be a signal that a change is coming.

After Evans got relegated to the bench, Lindsay Allen stepped in and played well, averaging 5.4 points per game with 4.5 assists.

The WNBA trade deadline isn't until the middle of August, but with the All-Star break approaching, there could be some trades coming soon across the league.
