‘They might get’ – WNBA fans aren’t loving the Atlanta Dream signing DeWanna Bonner after buyout

WNBA fans are not thrilled with the Atlanta Dream's decision to sign DeWanna Bonner following her buyout from the Phoenix Mercury. The 39-year-old veteran star, who previously won two championships with the Mercury, has struggled to help Phoenix contend for a title in 2026. Bonner's signing to the Atlanta Dream has generated speculation about her potential impact on the team's championship aspirations.

While the Dream have been in excellent form leading up to the playoffs, fans remain skeptical about the move. One fan commented, "Big move, but the championship path still needs proving." Another wrote, "Weird move and won't make a difference but glad she got her way, I guess." Fans believe that Bonner's experience may not translate into the kind of impact the team needs, with one stating, "Dream knew they had no shot with the current roster."

Some are also concerned that Bonner's lack of playing time could lead to her wanting out of Atlanta. Despite the negative sentiment, Bonner is still providing a positive contribution for the team, averaging 10.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
