Unrivaled trade sends 4 WNBA stars to new teams: key details

Unrivaled — the new professional 3-on-3 basketball league taking place in Miami — tips off on January 17th. But, on Saturday evening, just a few weeks before official game action begins, three clubs have engaged in a multi-team trade involving 4 WNBA stars.

The Laces are trading Courtney Williams to the Lunar Owls in exchange for Natasha Cloud. Then, the Laces are trading Cloud and the final wildcard spot to the Phantom, in exchange for Jackie Young and Tiffany Hayes.

Williams was one of the Minnesota Lynx’s top players en route to a WNBA Finals appearance this past fall, averaging 13.9 points and shooting 44.4% from three throughout the postseason.

Cloud, an All-Defense player for the Phoenix Mercury, is one of the best two-way guards in the league — she averaged 11.5 points and 6.9 assists this past season.
