Angel Reese has been in the headlines since last week after making remarks detrimental to her team in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. A former WNBA player made an interesting suggestion for Reese to mend fences with her Chicago Sky teammates, but it was panned by fans online.

Five-time All-Star and two-time scoring champion Angel McCoughtry shared on Wednesday's episode of the "Good Follow" podcast a possible solution for Reese. McCoughtry, who is also from Baltimore like Reese, suggested giving each of her Sky teammates $10,000.

"They don't have million-dollar endorsement deals, but they're having a losing season, too," McCoughtry said. "You know what I would do, Angel? I would get one of my endorsements (and) say, 'Give me an extra $100,000, so I can give all my teammates $10,000 each just to show them I care."

Angel Reese fans were not having any of Angel McCoughtry's situation. They blasted the former WNBA player for a bad suggestion on top of her bad take about what's happening with the Chicago Sky.

Here are some of the comments.

The Chicago Sky suspended Angel Reese for the first half of their game against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. Reese was then ruled out for the rest of the game because of a back injury. She also missed Tuesday's game against the Aces once again due to the same back issues that have plagued her since August.

Chicago's regular season ends on Thursday at home against the New York Liberty. It will be interesting to see if Reese gets cleared to play or sits this one out amid all the noise and turmoil.

The Chicago Sky have a big decision to make this offseason regarding the future of Angel Reese. The Sky only have four players under contract for next season, including Reese, as well as Kamilla Cardoso, Maddy Westbeld and Hailey Van Lith.

Chicago's front office could start rebuilding the roster around these four young players or trade Reese and bring back some of their current veterans. Ashish Mathur of Dallas Hoops Journal reported that multiple WNBA teams are interested in acquiring Reese.

One WNBA exec even told Mathur that Reese should demand a trade out of Chicago, which was voted as the worst franchise in the WNBA. It's a baffling development considering the Sky won a championship in 2021.
