Is it unrealistic of me to think we should try for HVL at #15?

Think about it, shes a ball handling PG with good bbiq and court vision, and also a pest on defense. Current avg 7 APG, currently shoots almost 40% from the 3, and her boyfriend is Jalen Suggs who is a Minnesota boy!

I know I have ulterior motives here in hoping she convinces Jalen Suggs to request a trade to Minnesota, but still think she's a great backup PG in case CW doesnt pan out for us.

I think our biggest needs as of now (before the expansion draft) are a center and a pg. Also, maybe a bench PF depending on which player is taken by the Valkyries. And Phee was already top 3 most minutes played in the league.

If we draft a PG it cannot be a short one and from what I've seen from this draft many of the point guards are on the shorter side.

I’m guessing most of us have seen the dozen or so posts on r/wnba guessing at each team’s protected list for the expansion draft next week. Reading them all, it would seem as if everyone’s collectively decided that Diamond will be our sixth protected player. Or at least that one article did, and everyone else has just run with it.

But what about this sub? What do we think, knowing the roster and the front office as well as we do through our devotion as Lynx fans?

I’d love to hear who you think will be: — our 6th protected player (assuming the starting five are protected) — drafted by Golden State

Obviously these predictions get complicated by the possibility of trades for players/picks, but let’s not get too in the weeds. What do we think? Speculate wildly!

Was looking at getting my niece a signed ball and/or jersey or something from Napheesa. eBay only has panini cards, fanatics only has fake autographs.

Anywhere local in the Twins Cities or someone on here have something?

Thank you!

I've been following the EuroBasket Qualifiers since I miss our Lynx players. Shepard (Slovenia) had 29/23/4 against Finland and 17/17/4 against Hungary. Dorka played great against Bulgaria (21/9/3) but was ineffective against Slovenia. Ceci played 1 great quarter and was very sloppy last game against Greece.

Could really use the height/rebounding of Shepard. She's 6'4" so an upgrade from Myisha.

Love how salty our city it

We might not have got the ring but Courtney William’s sure put one on her boo thang! Love will always win!

Visiting from out of country! It looks like the Target Center store is maybe the best place for Lynx merch. Is it well stocked in the off season, and is the selection any different than the online store?

Are there any stores with Lynx shirts at Mall of America?

I know I could just google or phone places, but I’m inherently lazy :P. Apologies if this is low quality content according to the rules… ❤️

If anyone is feeling despondent and wants to vent, hear some positive thoughts, post mortem, or just joke around, my DMs are open.

I guess I can’t expect them to not celebrate but like you out here acting like this wasn’t handed to you is delusional.

In games where either team could be the champion that night, there has never been anything like this year’s since the finals went to 2-2-1. I find this comparison useful because it helps us observe whether the officiating was outside of the norm. And it is. It is abundantly clear that the worse team won.

-Biggest FG% disadvantage for any game 5 winner, easily. And they took a very close number of attempts. -Liberty easily had the highest absolute free throw attempt disparity in league finals game 5 history -Liberty went to the line 3.125 times as much as the Lynx, easily the highest difference in rate -Liberty had the highest percentage and easily the highest DIFFERENCE in percentage of points off free throws of any league finals game 5

Nice take on the season from starters and coach Reeve. I gleaned some interesting feels from Cheryl about her bench, and how hard it was on some of those players to sit. She clearly loves Oly (I mean, who doesn't?)

Anyway - enjoy hearing from your favorite hoopers!

I have no clue. Does Shepherd come back? Expansion taking one player will open up a spot.
