So far, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Alyssa Thomas and Brittney Griner are headed to new WNBA homes, while Kelsey Mitchell will re-sign with the Indiana Fever.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HKZHjQ\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/\">WNBA<\/a>\u2019s free agency period is about to get frothy. <\/p>\n<p id=\"zuTqFp\">While most players and teams cannot officially agree to contracts until Feb. 1, the free agency waters have begun to churn, with the negotiation window opening on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
