Shocking details have surfaced surrounding Natasha Cloud’s trade to the Connecticut Sun for Alyssa Thomas — and it’s sparking a heated debate across the WNBA community.
In the latest episode of The Fumble, hosts Rodney Rikai and Samaria Terry pull back the curtain on how Cloud learned about the trade — not from a general manager or head coach, but through a text message from an assistant coach. The revelation has ignited questions about respect, transparency, and the human side of professional sports.
As Rikai and Terry break down the controversy, they highlight a deeper issue: the lack of personal communication in major roster moves. They argue that a simple phone call or face-to-face conversation can go a long way in preserving trust and dignity — values that are too often lost in the business side of basketball.
Special guests join the conversation, emphasizing that athletes deserve to be treated with the same respect and professionalism they bring to the game. The episode calls for change within league protocols, urging teams to remember that behind every trade is a human being, not just a name on a roster.
