Lexie has some clear synergy with Angel. Chicago would have to trade for her. What do you think would be a good trade? Also keep in mind that Indiana doesn’t seem to be looking for draft picks. (They were quick to flip their #8 pick for Cunningham & J Brown).
They wont call it a “rebuild,” but that’s what Chi is doing! They’re doing it thru the draft w/ a splash of affordable vets who fit the archetype of what you’d want to put around your young stars. (A savvy PG, plus some 3&D wings), plus a coach known for development.
Lexie is definitely the archetype of player to play alongside Angel. A classic 3&D wing, who has enough play making skills to run the floor and feed Angel with that give and go action. Being $$$ from the 3 is also essential, because it creates spacing that Angel could capitalize on.
Nah, she’s still on her initial 3 year rookie contract. She’ll hit Restricted FA in 2026. What a good time to hit it, too! She’ll no doubt get some attention, but Indiana would have the opportunity to match offers at that time.
