The defending WNBA champions strengthen their roster by adding the veteran guard, while the Sun secure valuable draft picks for their rebuilding efforts.

The New York Liberty traded the No. 7 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft and a 2026 first-round pick to the Connecticut Sun for Natasha Cloud.
Cloud, a 10-year WNBA veteran, is known for her elite perimeter defense, playmaking, and championship experience with the 2019 Washington Mystics.
The Liberty aim to defend their 2024 WNBA title, with Cloud joining a star-studded roster featuring Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones.
The Connecticut Sun continue their rebuilding process, now holding the No. 7 and No. 8 picks in the 2025 draft after losing key players this offseason.
Cloud expressed her desire to compete for championships and join an organization with strong investment in its players and facilities.
