The Indiana Fever could be an interesting destination for a number of players, with the team able to hold on to Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, while many of the current squad members show interest in extending their stay. Although Boston boasted about the Indiana Fever’s strong team chemistry amid a playoff surge, Stephanie White will be happy to add more quality after proving her strategy works in the 2025 season.
An interesting trade proposal sends reigning champion Jackie Young to the Indiana team, which is a significant upgrade on both ends of the floor. It’s important to know that the guard is
Proposal To Unite Caitlin Clark And Jackie Young
The WNBA offseason is on, but there are few moments from any franchise as everyone is waiting for the CBA Deal updates. With many players available in free agency, a few mega trades are on the cards. The Indiana team also has its star players, like Kelsey Mitchell, on the market. Even though the franchise is prioritizing re-signing of the former Ohio State guard, they would be ready for plan B, as Mitchell spoke about an uncertain future with the franchise during her exit interview.
If the side fails to land Mitchell for any reason, they could even go for the Las Vegas Aces’ star guard, Jackie Young. With the two-time All-Star hitting the free agency, it could be a steal for the franchise.

Technically, the star fits in Stephanie White’s system, which allows her to fit in immediately alongside the loaded side. She is a proven veteran who thrives both on and off the ball. White uses spacing to run her offense, and using the Vegas Guard, Indiana could finally unlock the spacing and balance that have often eluded them this season.
Caitlin Clark Will Use Playmaker-Scorer To Impact Games
While Kelsey Mitchell proved to be an integral player for the Indiana Fever, the side lacked a playmaker during the playoffs as Aari McDonalds, Sydney Colson and Clark missed the postseason. Although CC will be back in action, having another playmaker would be an extra luxury for the Fever, which would take the burden off the former Iowa star.
Aari McDonald and Odyssey Sims proved good enough for the Fever system, but Jackie Young is a combination of both guards, who could be defensively sound and even an elite scorer who could shoot from any range, helping Stephanie White to stretch the opposition defense.
As for the 2024 Rookie of the Year Winner, she would be able to get some open looks due to the presence of Young and even have another elite scorer to pass to.
