During the Sparks' introductory news conference for recent free-agent signings including Mercedes Russell, Emma Cannon, and Odyssey Sims, Russell articulated a determined ambition for the team, saying they aspire to win a championship. With a significant roster overhaul by GM Raegan Pebley, focusing on culture and veteran leadership, the team hopes to bounce back from a dismal previous season. They are particularly buoyed by the addition of WNBA champion Kelsey Plum, whose chemistry with Russell and Cannon, both of whom have championship experience, brings promise to the Sparks' future aspirations in the league.
"Obviously, the basketball history in L.A. is deep ... we're going to be wanting to hang a banner. We're going to be wanting to win a championship."
"One of the things that we really wanted to make sure that we targeted in our offseason was continuing to add to our culture."
