The Atlanta Dream made history in 2008 when they added championship-winning player Jennifer Lacy to their roster. But here's where it gets controversial... Before joining the Dream, Lacy had already won a championship with the Phoenix Mercury in 2007. This is the part most people miss... While the Dream was preparing for their debut season, they also added Carla Thomas, who played for the Chicago Sky. So, how did the Dream manage to acquire a championship-winning player from another team? The answer lies in the expansion draft, a strategic move that allows new teams to build their roster by selecting players from existing teams. But is this fair to the players and the original teams? Expansion drafts have been a topic of debate in the WNBA, and soon, two new teams will get the opportunity to shape their rosters in this way. So, what do you think? Is it a fair practice, or does it disrupt the balance of power in the league? Let us know in the comments!
