Later reports found that it became a three-team deal with Jones and Kayla Thornton going to freedom, Crystal Dangerfield and Natasha Howard going to the Dallas Wings

Jones became Connecticut Solar's best player last season. He is a dynamic force in the frontcourt and became a key anchor for a team that completed the 2022

The local Bahamian took the solar to the final for the second time in the remaining 10 years. But the changes really came after director Curt Miller

Jones will be part of the freedom that a promising megastar defender has in Sabrina Ionescu, who is an offensive opportunity from all three levels of the field.

The Big Apple could be hosting a player who could dominate at both ends of the field, and he or she could help freedom reach a degree

The league's free agency will begin on January 21, but players can officially start signing contracts on February 1, so there could be bigger
