"In a surprising midseason move, the Los Angeles Sparks have acquired Kate Martin from the Las Vegas Aces. Martin, a standout player, reportedly requested the trade, making this an unexpected but exciting development for the Sparks. With Martin joining an already star-studded roster, including the likes of Paige Bueckers, fans are eager to see how this new dynamic will play out on the court. Martin, known for her clutch performances and leadership, is expected to make an immediate impact for LA."
Both Jocelyn and Paige froze mid-scroll, heads snapping toward the TV.
"WHAT!" they yelled in unison, eyes wide as they stared at the screen. Jocelyn sat up straight, her phone slipping from her hands. Paige blinked in disbelief, processing the news.
Jocelyn's lips twitched into an amused smile. "Kate's coming to the Sparks?"
Paige ran a hand through her hair, still staring at the TV in disbelief. "This can't be real. Why would she come here? She's... she's an Ace!"
Jocelyn chuckled, leaning back into the couch and nudging Paige playfully with her shoulder. "Maybe she wanted to be closer to me."
Paige shot her a look, a teasing smirk tugging at her lips. "Oh, so now it's all about you, huh?"
Jocelyn shrugged innocently. "I mean, she did date me first. Can't say I blame her for wanting to relive her glory days."
Paige's eyebrows shot up as she scoffed. "Glory days? Please. You're with me now. Upgrade." She emphasized the last word, poking Jocelyn in the side.
Jocelyn burst out laughing, squirming away. "I don't know, are we together?"
Paige leaned in, her voice low but playful. "Don't play with me."
Jocelyn rolled her eyes, but the smile on her face lingered. She glanced back at the TV, where they were showing highlights of Kate's plays from the last season. Her brow furrowed slightly as she watched Kate pull off an impressive fadeaway jumper. "I wonder why she really requested the trade, though. You think it's just for basketball reasons?"
Paige huffed, crossing her arms. "I don't care why. All I know is I'm not going to let her start stirring up trouble."
"Trouble? You think she's coming here for that?" Jocelyn gave her a sideways glance, half-amused.
Paige shrugged, eyes still fixed on the screen. "I wouldn't put it past her. Kate's clearly competitive, and we've already got a good thing going here. The last thing I need is her trying to mess with my head... or yours."
Jocelyn's expression softened as she looked at Paige. "She's not going to mess with anything, okay? You've got nothing to worry about."
Paige didn't look fully convinced but gave a short nod. "We'll see."
Jocelyn squeezed her hand, but the flicker of mischief in her eyes didn't go unnoticed. "I think it could be fun... having Kate around again."
