Indiana Fever Eyes Shocking Trade of Golden vykaries player Kate Martin following Rumors of Veteran Point Guard Departure..
In a move that could electrify the WNBA, the Indiana Fever are reportedly eyeing a blockbuster trade for Golden State Valkyries guard Kate Martin amid swirling rumors of a veteran point guard’s impending departure. Sources indicate the Fever, desperate for backcourt depth after waiving DeWanna Bonner in June due to a poor fit, see Martin as the perfect reunion partner for star Caitlin Clark.
Bonner, a six-time All-Star signed to anchor the young core, averaged just 7.1 points before forcing her exit, leaving Indiana scrambling for leadership.
Martin, the former Iowa Hawkeye and Clark’s college teammate, has sparked fan frenzy with her gritty play in Golden State’s inaugural season. Averaging 7.3 points early but facing reduced minutes lately—including a DNP-CD against Dallas—the 25-year-old is a trade candidate as the Aug. 7 deadline looms. Fans on X and Reddit clamor for the swap, proposing packages like Kristy Wallace and draft picks to bring “The Glue” to Indianapolis, where her leadership could stabilize the injury-plagued roster. Martin’s recent 10-point bench explosion against the Fever—hitting three 3s—only fueled speculation.
The Valkyries, pushing for playoffs, might entertain offers for the second-year guard under team control through 2027. For Indiana, reeling from season-ending injuries to Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, acquiring Martin could reignite their contender dreams, blending nostalgia with on-court chemistry. As whispers intensify, this “shocking transfer” might just break the internet—and the Fever’s drought.
