Still with Moore and Fowles we should be able to field a competitive team.

Is the WNBA anything like the NBA? Where the aging stars can basically make their own team? Apparently, not, if we're worried about this thing ending. Be like the boys, gals ...... manipulate, instead of putting in the work.

I see the Mystics demolished LA The league has caught up, and gone flying past the two old dinosaurs. Love DelleDonne's game. Girls a beast

This is HUGE for next year. She had a down year and the extra rest can only be beneficial: John Focke@JWFOCKE Maya on her off-season plans ‘I’ll be resting’ has no plans to go overseas. #Lynx

Matt Ellentuck@mellentuck 47m47 minutes ago So at the Lynx end of year presser we learned: Seimone Augustus is probably coming back Rebekkah Brunson is probably coming back Sylvia Fowles isn't playing overseas Maya Moore isn't playing overseas This Minnesota team is coming back ready in 2019

Kent Youngblood@BloodStrib 2h2 hours ago Fowles played half the season with a left elbow injury. No surgery planned at this point. A rupture, Reeve said Kent Youngblood@BloodStrib 7m7 minutes ago Fowles said her injury was a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament in her left elbow. At this point she feels rest and rehab will do the trick, and so surgery isn't currently on the agenda.

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Natasha Howard had been a reserve in the WNBA Finals the past three seasons. This year, she played a starring role. Howard had a career-high 29 points, plus 14 rebounds, in the Seattle Storm's 98-82 victory over the Washington Mystics in Game 3 on Wednesday. It completed a sweep for the Storm, who know they couldn't have done it without the 6-foot-2 post player. Howard was the league's most improved player this season, progress that came mostly because she had more of a chance to play in Seattle. She came off the bench for Indiana in 2015, and for Minnesota in 2016 and '17. A February trade sent her to a franchise that needed her exact skill set. And her experience with the Fever and the Lynx in previous WNBA Finals showed in how well she played throughout this year for the Storm.

Uh-oh. According to the guy who hit on David Levine's mom, Maya Moore may not return next year. The Lynx put the franchise tag on her, but she may decide not to play next year or ask to be traded.

David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (1/17/2019 6:17:01 PM)
Kent Youngblood@BloodStrib Might Maya Moore miss the 2019 season? WCCO TV reported Wed. Moore was considering sitting out, retiring or seeking a trade. Just now the Lynx put out a statement: “We have been in close contact with Maya Moore and together, are deciding the best way to approach next season.” (This one is not from the guy who hit on my mom!)

David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (2/4/2019 11:07:38 AM)
February 1st marked the opening of the WNBA’s free agency period and the Minnesota Lynx acted quickly to sign two players. ‘Mone Returns The first is Lynx legend Seimone Augustus. The four-time champion is the franchise leader in games played and points scored. After the 2018 campaign there was some question whether Augustus would retire from basketball but she will indeed return for her 14th season in Minnesota. Amazingly, this is Augustus’ first offseason in which she has reached free agency. The Lynx drafted her in 2006 and managed to core/extend her contracts over the last decade-plus. Whether you look at raw numbers like three point percentage, rebounds and assists or just use the eye test there’s no denying that her overall game declined last summer. At nearly 35 years old she can no longer stay in front of the league’s starting guards. However, Augustus can still provide immense value on the offensive end. She’s still a fantastic mid-range shooter and can use her handle to get into the paint for floaters. Augustus’ locker room presence helps set the tone for the culture built by head coach/GM Cheryl Reeve. Even if she can’t contribute on the floor as she did in the past, Augustus is a fan favorite who’s number will someday hang in the Target Center rafters, as well as a key piece to the identity of the team. Christmas-Kelly Joins Minnesota also came to terms with veteran forward Karima Christmas-Kelly. As a member of the Dallas Wings she only played in six games in 2018 following season-ending knee surgery but is expected to be 100% healthy for April’s training camp. The two seasons preceding the injury were tremendous for Christmas-Kelly in Dallas. Minnesota will be hoping she can return to those heights this upcoming summer. Versatility is the name of the game with Christmas-Kelly. She’s a 6’0” guard with the ability to defend the 2-4 positions on the court. She’s one of the best players in the league at getting to the free throw line and can be effective in any number of lineup combinations. There are legitimate concerns about her ability to stretch the floor for Minnesota. In 2016 and 2017 combined she shot only 30% on 209 attempts. With a projected starting back court featuring other non-shooters like Danielle Robinson and Augustus, that’s not going to be good enough for an offense running through Sylvia Fowles. Augustus and Christmas-Kelly are above-average starting talents that bring professionalism and veteran savvy to the Lynx. Unfortunately, a dark cloud hangs over the franchise with the uncertainly around Maya Moore’s 2019 season. The importance of what Moore decides to do this summer cannot be overstated. These dual signings are only the beginning of an extremely interesting offseason for the Lynx. https://www.canishoopus.com/2019/2/4/18209739/lynx-kick-off-free-agency-sign-augustus-and-christmas-kelly

Reeve really loves to add non-shooting guards/wings in free agency...

And Maya didn't take kindly to having the franchise tag slapped on her.

David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (2/5/2019 2:32:52 PM)
Maya will not be playing ANY professional basketball this year: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/maya-moore-wnba-announcement

Lynn G. -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (2/5/2019 2:33:13 PM)
Maya Moore is taking a year off from basketball. It's an unusual career choice, but I'm happy for her that she can pursue something that she has been putting on hold for a while. Hopefully she'll be ready to play again next season.

Lynn G. -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (2/5/2019 2:33:37 PM)
We must have been typing at the same time David. [;)]

David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (2/5/2019 4:38:43 PM)
I wonder what Maya's contract status will be? She'll be: A: Sitting out a year while not under contract. B: Coming back to a (likely) new CBA. Its entirely possible she'll be free to sign wherever she wants.
