Rupert and Salaun contracts:

Temi Fagbenle signs with Toronto Tempo The Valkyries' original starting center was a UFA and left amid the deepening frontcourt rotation.

With a loaded frontcourt, the Valkyries decided they didn't have room for Temi Fagbenle.

Iliana Rupert's emergence as a stretch-five changed their dynamic last season.

www.valkyriesbeat.com/p/temi-fagbe...

Per ESPN, Temi Fagbenle is signing with the Toronto Tempo after one season with the Valkyries.

With the addition of Kiah Stokes and Iliana Rupert seemingly the starting center, it became increasingly unlikely that Fagbenle would return.

Gabriela Jaquez going No. 5 to Chicago was one of the reasons here, a source told Valkyries Beat.

Confirmed with the WNBA that the deadline to trade draft picks was Sunday at 5pm eastern.

That means for the Valkyries and Storm to make their trade, they would have needed an agreement to trade whoever was selected. Seattle then told GSV to take Johnson, who they were surprised was available.
