Angel Reese is embracing her new home with a bold declaration. In a recent interview, the WNBA star opened up about her blockbuster trade from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream, making it clear she's all-in on her future in Georgia.

"I was so excited when I finally found out," Reese told PEOPLE. "The team has welcomed me so much, the atmosphere, the culture … I’m so excited to be in A-Town." The former LSU standout and 2024 Rookie of the Year didn't mince words about her commitment, telling her new fanbase she is "here to stay," signaling her intent to make a major impact for the Dream starting in the 2026 season.

The trade, which was finalized on April 6, marks a significant shift for one of the league's most prominent young talents. While Sky GM Jeff Pagliocca called the move an opportunity for "roster balance" and thanked Reese for her "record-breaking milestones," the change follows a season of reported friction in Chicago. Reese had previously voiced frustration after a difficult 2025 campaign, stating she wouldn't "settle for the same" results, hinting that a fresh start was on the horizon.

For Reese, this move feels like destiny fulfilled. "I really dreamed of this moment," she shared with E! News. "I’m living in my Barbie dream house. I’m just having so much fun... I’m excited for this new journey and this new city, and more to come." Now, Atlanta gains a relentless rebounder and cultural icon, a player ready to bring her signature intensity and style to a new arena and a new chapter in her already-decorated career.
