For the Mercury, all but one player in the Finals roster is unsigned, which means that the front office would have a roster overhaul as it happened during the preparation for the season.

The free agents in the team include, Kahleah Copper (unrestricted), Satou Sabally (unrestricted), Alyssa Thomas (unrestricted), Sami Whitcomb (unrestricted), DeWanna Bonner (unrestricted), Natasha Mack (reserved), Kitija Laksa (reserved), Lexi Held (reserved), Monique Akoa Makani (reserved), Kathryn Westbeld (reserved).&nbsp;<\/p><p>They own a second-round pick in the 2026 draft. In the upcoming season, they should focus on retaining their top players. However, it should also be seen how they target young players who had a breakout season with the team, and will be on target for other franchises as well. <\/p><p>As of priority, they are likely to focus on names such as Kahleah Copper, Satou Sabally, Alyssa Thomas, and Monique Akoa Makani. In case they are not able to keep most of their depth, the Mercury would aim for new targets for their bench unit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
