What happened: CBS Sports assessed possible destinations as the Los Angeles Sparks weigh their options. The WNBA trade window closes Aug. 2.
Why it matters: At 10-16, Los Angeles must balance a fading playoff chase against the chance to recover future value. Keeping Plum preserves its lead guard for the stretch run but risks an offseason departure without compensation.
By the numbers: The Sparks have a .385 winning percentage and sit sixth in the Western Conference with 18 games remaining in a 44-game regular season.
What to watch: The Aug. 2 deadline will determine whether Los Angeles moves Plum or keeps her for the rest of 2026.
