The Lynx also have an All Star playing the same position as the top 2 players in this years draft. I would make that deal in heart beat.

Now if we can just get Janel McCarville too...

Renee Montgomery was the fourth overall pick just a year ago.  Are they going to give up on her as a starter after only one season?

I do believe that she's still active.  I found this in Wikipedia:

At the conclusion of the training camp, the team will travel to Ekaterinburg, Russia, where they compete in the 2009 UMMC Ekaterinburg International Invitational.[6]

I think that's the key point: the best players in this draft aren't a good fit. Whalen is a good fit, and the franchise $$ angle makes it a no brainer.

Still have 2 of the top 3?

Don't we have the 1st and 4th picks? So by my math, if we trade #1 for LW, we are left with the #4 pick.

I didn't even take that into it. I haven't followed what has gone on this offseason

Okay, it's not quite trivial. The Lynx had #1 and #4. Then the Monarchs folded and their #2 pick was eliminated. So the Lynx have #1 and #3, with CT at #2, and apparently interested in drafting the local UConn star Tina Charles.

That's right. We also get the 2nd pick from Sacramento's roster as well, don't we?

--edit--

We did and we took Rebekkah Brunson.

When the league first started, they tried to assure the teams that they could draft local players to help draw fans

I think the first trade rumor was better without them giving up Rene

Anti-women sports.

Tim is Anti-NASCAR, which is much worse.
