🚨 The Chicago Sky roster shakeup continues, and this one has fans asking serious questions.

On this episode of Chicago Sky Central, Haize & Stevo break down the Sky waiving Maddy Westbeld and Aicha Coulibaly, two 2025 second-round draft picks, after already waiving Hailey Van Lith earlier the same day. With the addition of veteran guard Natasha Cloud, Chicago now sits at the 12-player roster maximum, with Sydney Taylor as the last training camp invitee standing if final rosters were due today.

The guys discuss whether the Sky are making the tough roster decisions needed to compete — or if they are giving up too soon on young talent. Westbeld averaged 4.1 points in 13.6 minutes as a rookie while shooting 39.5% from three, while Coulibaly missed last season recovering from an ACL injury but reportedly had a strong training camp. Both could still qualify for development spots if they clear waivers.

Haize & Stevo also react to the Sky being ranked No. 9 in ESPN’s preseason power rankings, with chemistry listed as the biggest concern after a major offseason overhaul. Chicago’s new-look roster includes Skylar Diggins, Natasha Cloud, DiJonai Carrington, Jacy Sheldon, Azura Stevens, Rickea Jackson, Kamilla Cardoso, and more — but now the question is how quickly this group can actually mesh.

Plus, the show breaks down why DiJonai Carrington may be the key to the Sky’s defensive identity, and the wild update that Ajsa Sivka, Chicago’s No. 10 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, has committed to play college basketball at Kentucky while the Sky retain her rights.

Topics include:

🚨 Maddy Westbeld waived
🚨 Aicha Coulibaly waived
😳 Hailey Van Lith already waived
🏀 Natasha Cloud added
👀 Sydney Taylor still standing
📊 Sky ranked No. 9 by ESPN
🛡️ DiJonai Carrington’s defensive importance
🤯 Ajsa Sivka to Kentucky after being drafted
🔥 Is this roster actually playoff-ready?

The Sky are no longer just rebuilding — they are making real roster bets. Now they have to prove those bets were right.

🚨 The Chicago Sky have made a shocking roster move, waiving Hailey Van Lith, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, as final roster decisions begin to take shape. The Sky also waived Latasha Lattimore, Tonie Morgan, Sidney Cooks, Jordan Hobbs, and Megan Nestor, making this one of the most dramatic roster cutdowns of the offseason.On this episode of Chicago Sky Central, Haize & Stevo break down what Van Lith being waived means for Chicago’s roster, whether this was the right move, and how it fits into the Sky’s larger roster overhaul.We also discuss Chicago being ranked No. 9 in ESPN’s preseason power rankings, with ESPN pointing to the Sky’s fresh start as a strength but chemistry as the biggest concern after a massive offseason of changes.Plus, we get into why DiJonai Carrington’s return is critical to the Sky’s defensive identity. Carrington is still working back from foot surgery, but her All-Defense background and tone-setting mentality could be exactly what Chicago needs after struggling defensively last season.And finally, the Sky picked up fourth-year options for Kamilla Cardoso, Rickea Jackson, and Jacy Sheldon, locking in the young core that now defines the future of the franchise.Haize & Stevo break down:🚨 Hailey Van Lith waived🏀 Final Sky roster cuts📊 ESPN ranking Chicago #9🛡️ Why DiJonai Carrington is the defensive key🔥 Cardoso, Rickea & Jacy officially locked in👀 Whether this roster is playoff-ready or still incompleteIs Chicago making the tough moves needed to compete… or did the Sky just cut a player too soon?Tap in with Chicago Sky Central, your #1 spot for everything Chicago Sky related.

The Chicago Sky faced the Atlanta Dream in a preseason matchup that carried way more emotion than a normal exhibition game — because Angel Reese was on the other side.

On this episode of Chicago Sky Central, Haize & Stevo break down the Sky’s 87-78 loss to the Dream, Angel Reese’s first matchup against her former team, and the bigger question hanging over the franchise: Did Chicago move on from its biggest star too soon?

When Reese was drafted No. 7 overall in 2024, it felt like the beginning of a new era in Chicago. She quickly became one of the league’s biggest personalities, broke rebounding records, made All-Star teams, and looked like a future face of the franchise. But after two difficult seasons, tension over facilities, roster construction, resources, and the team’s direction eventually led to Reese being traded to Atlanta for future first-round picks.

Now Reese is being viewed by the Dream as a possible missing piece in their championship push, while the Sky are still trying to define their identity with injuries to Azurá Stevens, Courtney Vandersloot, and DiJonai Carrington clouding the early picture.

Haize & Stevo discuss:

🏀 Angel Reese’s impact in Atlanta
😳 Whether the Sky already regret the trade
🔥 Rickea Jackson and Kamilla Cardoso as possible new franchise faces
📉 The Sky’s ongoing identity questions
👀 Why this matchup felt bigger than preseason
💙 What Chicago fans should take away from the loss

The Sky may have added talent this offseason, but the question remains: Do they have a clear direction?
