While Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese enter the chat, talk about winning the 2024 WNBA championship starts with the Aces.

While conversations about the WNBA's growth may start with Caitlin Clark, any talk about the 2024 championship begins with the star-studded Las Vegas Aces led by A'ja Wilson and their quest to three-peat. The Aces have been dominant on the court the past two seasons, becoming the first team to repeat as champion since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001-02. 'We've come into games and we have a target on our back,' Aces guard Chelsea Gray said.

Now most of us have a year under our belt, what are we going to do bigger on and off the court?' While Las Vegas and New York didn't have any headline-making offseason moves, Seattle and Phoenix both created some ripples with moves they hope will make them title contenders. The Storm, who built a $60 million state-of-the-art practice facility, added Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith. The Mercury signed Natasha Cloud and Kahleah Copper to add to Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi.
