Years ago, Phoenix Mercury guard Natasha Cloud began to hear about rumblings of a basketball league. That league would become Unrivaled. The 3×3 league, put together by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart has been the talk of the WNBA offseason.

Phoenix Mercury's Natasha Cloud and Dallas Wings star Satou Sabally debut as Phantom BC teammates in Unrivaled women's pro basketball league.

The WNBA season is months away, but there’s now an opportunity to watch WNBA stars including Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Brittney Griner.

Jewell Loyd is not a free agent but requested a trade. The post WNBA Free Agency Heats Up: Griner, Plum Among Stars in the Mix appeared first on Front Office Sports.

The WNBA offseason enters its second stage today. After 10 days of extending qualifying offers to retain the rights of their own free agents, teams are now allowed to negotiate with everyone. Contracts cannot officially be finalized until Feb. 1, but deals will be agreed upon before then, if not signed on the dotted line.

Brittney Griner is testing the free agent market for the first time in her career. The All-Star center is taking meetings starting Tuesday with multiple teams, according to her agent. WNBA executives were in Miami for the opening of Unrivaled to talk with Griner and other free agents.

Phoenix Mercury guard Natasha Cloud has been busy with the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League, playing for Phantom BC in the 3-on-3 professional women’s basketball league, but hasn’t been distracted enough to forget about what’s about to happen in the WNBA.

The Phoenix Mercury's Natasha Cloud, Brittney Griner and Kahleah Copper debuted in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 basketball league this weekend.

The All-Star Griner is testing the WNBA free agency market for the first time, the Associated Press reported. She's taking meetings with multiple teams in Miami, where she debuted with her offseason team Phantom BC on Saturday during the Unrivaled league's opening weekend.

Ta'Niya Latson is The Associated Press women's basketball player of the week. The Florida State guard had her fourth double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 assists in a win over Clemson.

Cloud’s public recruiting pitch comes at a pivotal time. Remember that although Sabally is poised to enter free agency, she isn’t entirely free to leave Dallas just yet. Under the WNBA’s core designation, Dallas retains exclusive negotiating rights with her. The Wings recently officially extended a core qualifying offer to Sabally.
