The New York Liberty are coming off their first WNBA title, defeating the Minnesota Lynx in the 2024 WNBA Finals.
Many of the core pieces from last year's title team return, including Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, all among the top 10 players in the league. However, the team had to find a way to replace some depth after the departure of Courtney Vandersloot and Kayla Thornton, as well as an injury to Betnijah Laney-Hamilton.
The addition of Natasha Cloud should help the Liberty remain one of the league's best teams.
As for the Aces, the team made arguably the biggest move of anyone this offseason, trading Kelsey Plum to the Sparks in a deal that landed Jewell Loyd in Vegas. Will Loyd be able to fill Plum's shoes?
Lucky for Vegas, the team still has A'ja Wilson, the best player in the world. Wilson is coming off her third WNBA MVP award, though she has never repeated. Could this be the year she finally wins the award in consecutive years?
