WNBA Trade Rumors: Kelsey Plum Exiting Las Vegas Aces Imminent Says Insider

Kelsey Plum and Satou Sabally have been the focus of numerous trade talks this WNBA offseason. The latest report by Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review Journal suggests that Plum could be playing for a new team next season.

On Monday’s episode of NBC Sports show “On her Turf,” Fin joined hosts Natalie Esquire and Terrika Foster-Brasby, suggesting that Plum would want to move on from the Aces. She also revealed that the seven-year pro declined to sign the team’s extension offer.

“It does seem like the most likely scenario that Kesley Plum would move on from the Aces,” Fin said. “She did not sign an extension and former general manager Natalie Williams told me before she and the Aces parted ways that Kelsey was offered an extension and declined.”

Hinting at Plum’s troublesome season last year, Fin said that speaking directly to her about her future plans is out of the question, but everything else points to her wanting to leave Las Vegas. The insider also said that the two-time WNBA champion’s situation was similar to that of Sabally’s.

“When it comes to something like Kelsey Plum, she is coming off a difficult personal year and she has emphasized that she wants to take time for herself, which is why she said that she pulled out of Unrivaled,” Fin said.

“So, we’re not in a position to ask her directly, and that would be the best indicator here. But of course, you mentioned my reporting, I can pull and cite a few quotes that imply that… the Aces are working to find a situation where ‘everybody’s happy’… in regards to Kelsey Plum’s situation,” the insider added.
