Las Vegas Aces could win the title next season
The Las Vegas Aces are the hottest WNBA team right now. They're coming off an impressive 2022 season, where they won the Commissioner's Cup and the WNBA Championship. That happened after Becky Hammon took over as coach and led the team to a deep run.
The Aces are now looking to make a return to the finals, making astute offseason moves. Their big five is still intact, and they've added more help for them to make another shot at winning the title. Candace Parker signed with Las Vegas after two years with the Chicago Sky, adding another star to their lineup.
Based on these moves, the Aces could be the favorites to win their second straight title. With a well-experienced coach in Hammon, they could be the team to beat in the league in 2023.
