Tempo chase blockbuster frontcourt trade

Tempo target frontcourt reinforcements

Toronto Tempo are aggressively pursuing a trade for a young post player as the WNBA trade deadline looms, dangling a future first-round draft pick as their primary bargaining chip.

The expansion side has already fired off proposals to both the Los Angeles Sparks and the Connecticut Sun, but neither club has bitten. Cameron Brink and Aaliyah Edwards are understood to be among the names on Toronto's wish list - franchise-calibre talents who could transform their frontcourt.

Playoff hopes fading

Sitting at 10-16, the Tempo trail the Washington Mystics by four games for the final playoff berth. Injuries to key frontcourt personnel have hampered them all season, making the search for reinforcements all the more urgent.

Draft pick gamble

Given their current record, Toronto are more inclined to offer their 2028 first-round selection rather than the potentially more valuable 2027 pick. It is a calculated risk - surrendering a future asset for immediate impact - but one the franchise appears willing to take as they look to accelerate their rebuild.
