The writing was on the wall, as it was time for Jewell Loyd and the Seattle Storm to part ways with one another.

The WNBA began their free agency period with a bang this past weekend headlined by a blockbuster three-team trade featuring two U.S. Olympians.

Here is how the trade shakes out: Las Vegas receives: Jewell Loyd, No. 13 overall pick (via Sparks) Los Angeles receives: Kelsey Plum, No. 9 overall pick (via Seattle) Seattle receives: No. 2 overall pick (via Sparks), Li Yueru

Jewell Loyd got the trade she wanted as she's leaving the Storm for the Aces. We breakdown the winners and losers of one of the biggest trades in WNBA history.

Jewell Loyd has put together a career that might land her in the Hall of Fame one day, but the past year has been plagued by tumult on and off the court.

The deal sees six-time All-Star Jewell Loyd go from the Storm to the Aces and three-time All-Star Kelsey Plum sent from Las Vegas to the Sparks, per ESPN. The Storm will receive the No. 2 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft and Li Yueru from the Sparks — who are getting the No. 9 selection from Seattle. The Storm will be picking at No. 13 via the Sparks.

But Plum’s move wasn’t the only splash. WNBA champion Jewell Loyd, who requested a trade at the end of last year, is also on the move, taking Plum’s roster spot in Las Vegas as part of a three-team trade.

Kelsey Plum is headed to Los Angeles as part of a three-way trade that will send Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces.

The Sparks are reportedly in trade talks involving Kelsey Plum and Jewell Loyd as the WNBA free agency period is underway.

Two-time WNBA champion Kelsey Plum is headed to the Los Angeles Sparks in a massive three-team trade that shook hoops fans on Sunday night. Also part of the deal is Jewell Loyd, — who is getting her wish after requesting a trade from the Seattle Storm — as the two-time WNBA champion in her own right is on her way to the Las Vegas Aces.

The Los Angeles Sparks, Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm agreed to a multi-team deal that will see Kelsey Plum head to Southern California and Jewell Loyd to Sin City, ESPN's Shams Charania, Ramona Shelburne, Kendra Andrews and Alexa Philippou reported Sunday, citing league sources.
