The two-time WNBA All-Star told People on Tuesday that she was excited when she learned she had been traded to the organization after spending her first two seasons with the Chicago Sky.

"The team has welcomed me so much, the atmosphere, the culture. ... I'm so excited to be in A-Town," Reese told the outlet.

The two teams announced the trade Monday, the first day of free agency following the ratification of a new, historic collective bargaining agreement between the WNBA and its players union in March. The excitement appears to be mutual. Shortly after the trade was announced, the Dream online store had made Reese's new jersey available for purchase.

They sold out so quickly that Reese's mother posted on social media that even she was unable to snag one in time. (Don't worry, the Dream's social media team has her covered).
