Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky aren't seeing eye-to-eye right now. The second-year forward courted controversy after hinting at her desire to leave the team unless they brought in some fresh talent. This rubbed her teammates the wrong way and also led to a brief suspension for what the Sky described as comments detrimental to the team.

Now, Alissa Hirsh of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the roster isn't the only thing Reese would like to see change within the organization. In a meeting with Sky owners, the LSU product reportedly shared her suggestions for the new practice facility.

"At the meeting, players not only saw renderings of the facility but also had a chance to give input about what they would like to see inside," Hirsh reported. "Reese pushed for bigger everything: locker room, training room and office space for coaches."

Hirsh didn't report whether those suggestions were taken amicably, though.

The Sky might trade Angel Reese, according to WNBA executive

Considering the situation Reese finds herself in at the moment, it won't be surprising if the Sky decide to part ways with the forward ahead of next season. An unnamed executive thinks the team is looking forward to moving on from her.

“She needs to get the hell out of there,” the WNBA exec told DallasHoopsJournal. “Chicago is probably the worst-run organization in the league. You’re gonna suspend your best player just because she’s putting pressure on you to get better? That was embarrassing to see. I think Chicago will try to trade her this offseason, but if they don’t, she should request a trade.”

Reese has the potential to establish herself as the greatest rebounder in league history. After missing the playoffs twice in as many years in the league, she has expressed frustration with the organization.

Whether that will lead to a trade this early in her career remains to be seen.
