WASHINGTON (AP) – Bahagi si Elena Delle Donne sa pinakamalaking trade sa kasaysayan ng WNBA.

Ipinamigay ng Chicago Sky ang 2015 MVP sa Mystics nitong Huwebes (Biyernes sa Manila) kapalit nina Stefanie Dolson, Kahleah Copper at No. 2 pick sa susunod na draft.

Ang paglipat ay nagpalapit naman kay Delle Donne sa kanyang pamilya sa Delaware.

“I’m really excited about this next chapter in my career with the Mystics,” pahayag ni Delle Donne.

“Coach (Mike) Thibault, (majority owner, chairman and CEO) Mr. (Ted) Leonsis and (vice chairman, president and managing partner) Ms. (Sheila) Johnson have built a strong team that is ready to make a significant impact in the league and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I’m sad to be leaving Chicago, a place that was a fantastic city for sports and truly felt like home.”

“My entire family is super excited, even aunts and uncles,” aniya.

“I’ve gotten texts, calls, everyone’s thrilled. They’ll be at a lot of games. Having Lizzie this close by is so great. I can’t call her, Facetime her and pick up the phone to talk to her. Now I’m in such close proximity of her.

I’m hoping to get her to a game. She hasn’t been to one of my professional games.”

Tangan ni Delle Donne ang averaged 21.5 puntos at pitong rebound sa nakalipas na season.

“Completely confident I’ll be ready to play the WNBA season,” sambit ni Delle Donne.
