The Chicago Sky sit near the bottom of the East, with only a handful of wins keeping them afloat. The Sky are also on a seven game losing streak that has thrown them out of playoffs contention.

They are struggling on three fronts which is starting with wing defense, where opponents exploit their lack of length and speed. They also have a problem of bench scoring.

Chicago’s bench has offered minimal scoring, forcing the starters to shoulder the full offensive load each night. Poor point guard play has hurt late-game execution, making clutch moments a recurring issue for the Sky. In this article we will look at the WNBA Trade Deadline Predictions around the Chicago Sky.

Chicago enters August with very limited wiggle room under the 2025 WNBA hard cap:

Cap Maximum: $1,507,100
Current Allocations: $1,454,084
Cap Space Remaining: $53,016

That sub $60K cushion ranks 8th in the league and means any trade must include salary matching or offloads of existing contracts.

WNBA Trade Deadline Predictions – Chicago Sky

Marina Mabrey (Connecticut Sun): According to ESPN, the Sun are open to listen to offers for Mabrey before free agency this fall. The guard instantly improves Sky. She is averaging 14.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. Her ability to attack closeouts and create off the dribble would immediately boost Chicago’s bench scoring and 3-point spacing.

Myisha Hines-Allen (Dallas Wings): A versatile 6-foot-3 forward, Hines-Allen averaged 14.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game in last year’s playoffs. She can step in as a secondary post scorer and defend multiple frontcourt spots, exactly the type of two-way presence the Sky need up front.

Rae Burrell (Los Angeles Sparks): Burrell is a proven 3-and-D wing who shot over 38% from three last season. Her off-ball movement and catch-and-shoot efficiency would pair perfectly with Angel Reese’s interior attack, creating more driving room and defensive flexibility on the perimeter.
