Confirmed:
In one of the biggest trades in Women's National Basketball Association history, the Indiana Fever has announced the trade acquisition of former Perry Meridian High School and Purdue star Katie Douglas, from the Connecticut Sun. In exchange for Douglas, Indiana has traded 2006 All-Star Tamika Whitmore and its first-round pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft, along with rights to shooting guard Jessica Foley (third-round pick in 2005 who has remained in Australia.)More info
Does foley have a better chance of making the connecticut team than the indiana?

yes - the sun traded KT douglas a shooting guard - exactly what jess is.
KT wanted out to go home - so tailor made for jess to have a run for a spot.
