The Las Vegas Aces cored Kelsey Plum ensuring she will not leave the franchise for nothing, which leads to speculation the star guard could be traded to another team like the Golden State Valkyries

Kelsey Plum was set to become an unrestricted free agent, but Las Vegas Aces have extended a core qualifying offer to her amid transfer rumors.

Kelsey Plum has been cored by the Las Vegas Aces, meaning that she’ll be offered a one-year supermax contract worth $249,244. The core designation also takes away her ability to sign with other WNBA teams.
