The Atlanta Dream believe that Angel Reese is the piece that can make their championship dreams come to reality.

Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray believes Angel Reese could be the key to taking the team to the next level.

The Atlanta Dream are bringing back Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones and Naz Hillmon, all of whom have agreed to deals, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Gray averaged 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists to earn first team all-WNBA honors last season for the first time in her career. The 31-year-old Gray was the Rookie of the Year in 2017 and is a three-time All-Star.

The Dream are reportedly finalizing a massive free agency contract with Allisha Gray that will be close to the new max.

Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray will have a critical decision to make in free agency as she is expected to receive multiple offers.

USAT's Sam Cardona-Norberg breaks down how the new addition of Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream could make the team a championship winner.

This season in the WNBA, there are seven new head coaches making their debut (not counting Stephanie White, who has held that title before at the Connecticut Sun). Some of those individuals and their respective teams are faring better than others. So, one month into the 2025 season, Zena, Ben, and Sabreena sit down to discuss these coaches – their programs, their backgrounds, their unique styles – and to take stock of who’s meeting expectations, who’s beating expectations, and who’s missing them altogether. Plus, the crew discusses Ariel Atkins’ comments about Angel Reese during the Chicago Sky’s post-game press conference Tuesday night, following their loss to the New York Liberty – as well as Reese’s on-court performance. 00:00 Intro 02:29 Crew discusses Ariel Atkins' comments about Angel Reese 17:26 Beating expectations 25:59 New Head Coaches Making Their Debut 39:21 Who's Missing Expectations #wnba #chicagosky #angelreese Thumbnail: Daniel Bartel, Catalina Fragoso via Getty Images Follow and listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/no-offseason-the-athletic-womens-basketball-show/id1699815468 Leave a comment wherever you’re listening, or email us at NoOffseason@TheAthletic.com.

Zena talks to Ben and Sabreena about The Athletic’s anonymous WNBA player poll project – drilling down on the players’ answers to two big questions: Who’s the best player in the WNBA? And five years from now, who will be the face of the league? Ben and Sabreena also divulge some answers to a question around which there was no consensus: Who is the WNBA’s most underrated player? Plus, a Phoenix-dominated update on the Sabreena Scale.
