Episode Notes

Former WNBA executive and two-time GM Angela Taylor joins to take us inside the room where trades happen. With nearly two decades of league experience — from the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream to the WNBA headquarters — Angela breaks down what really drives trade deadline decisions.

We cover how GMs juggle short-term wins vs. long-term team building, the impact of salary caps and the upcoming CBA, navigating ownership involvement, and the human side of telling a player they’ve been traded. Plus, Angela shares a behind-the-scenes “blockbuster” trade story that started on the back of a napkin.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening in the days (and months) leading up to the WNBA trade deadline, this is your all-access pass.
