Liberty Acquire Natasha Cloud in Strategic Trade

News summary

The New York Liberty have bolstered their roster by acquiring veteran guard Natasha Cloud from the Connecticut Sun in exchange for the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA draft and a 2026 first-round pick. Cloud, a former WNBA champion with the Washington Mystics, is recognized for her defensive skills and playmaking ability, having led the league in assists in 2022. Her addition strengthens the Liberty, who are already strong contenders to defend their WNBA championship. The Connecticut Sun, in the midst of a rebuilding phase after losing all five of their 2024 starters, gain valuable draft capital from this trade. Cloud's move follows her brief stint with the Sun after a trade from the Phoenix Mercury, and she is expected to enhance New York's defensive capabilities alongside Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones. Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb expressed excitement over Cloud's arrival, highlighting her fit with the team and potential impact on their championship aspirations.
