Natasha Cloud arrived in Brooklyn two weeks before WNBA training camps opened Sunday in order to get acclimated to her new home.<\/p>\n
She met the staff and her teammates, learned the Liberty\u2019s schedule and embraced the championship mentality that\u2019s inescapable around the facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s almost refreshing,\u201d Cloud said Sunday. \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of lackadaisical, there\u2019s no complacency. They understand that they won last year, but they understand now that the pressure is a privilege to do it again. All eyes are looking forward to how to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cloud always thought one day she\u2019d suit up for the Liberty. <\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t envision what transpired this offseason would be how it would happen.<\/p>\n
In January at Unrivaled, Cloud talked about recruiting Satou Sabally to the Phoenix Mercury. A little more than two weeks later, though, Cloud was dealt to the Connecticut Sun as part of the four-team trade that sent Sabally to Phoenix.<\/p>\n
Cloud has been in this business long enough to know that it can \u201cf\u2013king suck and that it doesn\u2019t always benefit us as players.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sun had been the site of a mass exodus this offseason. <\/p>\n
All five of their starters from the 2024 team that went to the semifinals were gone. Connecticut wasn\u2019t where Cloud, a nine-year veteran on the back end of her career, wanted to spend the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a s\u2014ty situation for everybody,\u201d Cloud said.<\/p>\n
Cloud told her agent she wanted to play for the Liberty.<\/p>\n
The Sun turned down the Liberty\u2019s initial trade proposal. Ultimately, the Libs dealt two first-round picks, including No. 7 in this year\u2019s draft, for Cloud.<\/p>\n
The past few months may not have gone as Cloud anticipated.<\/p>\n
Cloud was told she was going to retire as a member of the Mercury, but that didn\u2019t happen. Her patience was tested.<\/p>\n
In the end, Cloud got what she wanted \u2014 a chance to compete for another championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got pissed off in the offseason, and I\u2019m using all that as fuel to my fire,\u201d Cloud said. \u201cI understand what we already had here as an organization and all I was able to add to it. So whatever y\u2019all need for me, every single night, I\u2019m giving to y\u2019all. I care that Liberty is across my chest. \u2026 I\u2019m just excited to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Breanna Stewart was a limited participant in Sunday\u2019s practice after she had a cleanup procedure on her knee last month. <\/p>\n
She\u2019ll be integrated into more live action next week. Her status for the team\u2019s preseason opener May 9 is unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
