I love it when a players potential is beyond obvious and becomes understood to the majority. Im now Glad Diamond left for Cukurova. Shes been on my radar since high schoool. Watching her play back then i automatically thought this girl is going to be a star in the W.

You represent everything that is wrong with Minnesota/Lynx fans, embracing going .500 with two should-be MVP-caliber players in their primes, Seattle being the top team in the league in major part because Reeve gifted them a super talented player for basically nothing instead of keeping her for the Lynx now and the future. If you were fans of them, you'd think the Jordan/Pippen Bulls winning 3 titles instead of 6 in the 90s would've been good enough, and the Warriors losing in the playoffs is okay because winning is "hard". I find it hard to believe a team with Maya & Fowles shouldn't be at least be as good as a team whose top players are Tiffany Hayes & Elizabeth Williams, but the Dream proved to be way smarter than Reeve, who has all but confirmed my suspicions that she is an overrated coach who needs to have at least 4 or 5 Hall of Fame caliber players in their prime to make her look good, otherwise she doesn't know what she's doing, and she's terrible and developing/valuing young talent (or she wouldn't have given Howard away for nothing a year after giving most of her minutes last year to Pierson despite having a big 2016 season, so she can acquire enough vets, who end up contributing little/nothing, so she can have an excuse to never play Alexis Jones, instead of letting her build off of doing well to end last season/the WNBA Finals).

Maybe it's Moore and Fowles who need HOF caliber teammates to win. Fowles wasn't exactly raking in the rings in Chicago. Maya's never played on a team where she didn't have murderer's row to back her up.

Put Maya Moore and Sylvia "Flagrant" Fouls on any other team except maybe Indiana and you would have a better team than the Lynx this year.

“Murderer’s row” is still there, though Brunson has missed a bunch of games because of Tiffany I-Put-Players-In-A Hayes By-Bustin-Their-Nose-And-Then-Crying-About-The-Fine-On-Twitter.
It’s easy to recognize good players when they’re winning. Breland has been very helpful. SpaceJunkie must have forgotten about her, but McCoughtry has been helpful this year. Sykes doesn’t look like she’s regressed much. Bentley has decide to sporadically help. Montgomery turned out much better than the Clarendon-lovers wanted. Put it all together, that’s quite a bit of help.
There’s only so much a fatigued Maya (played in same Russian league as fatigued-to-the-point-of-illness Ogwumike) can do without more help. She’s always the biggest effort, hardest working player on the court. That’s what people should see. That’s what Reeve should see instead of deflecting blame from herself for this disappointing season.

Haha I don't represent everything that is wrong for Minnesota fans.....you need to take a chill pill....they have one bad season in eight years and you are so down on them....you know how many other teams fans would like to cheer their team on in the playoffs and be tied for the most league titles after 8 years...you sound very spolied and entitled...does Jordan have a title for every year he played in the league....exactly.....even the best don't get titles every year....maybe you should step away from being a half lynx fan because it is making you sound crazy

That's what I was also implying. The Dream acquired Montgomery and Breland who have been major contributors, while Reeve's idea to improve(?) the Lynx around Maya & Fowles was trade away now a star because she plays for a coach who actual values her, Howard, just for the chance of getting better draft picks next season (which worked, since the Lynx suck this year, so their own picks are better), and use the money saved by not re-signing Howard to sign Wright, Kizer, and Miyem, who all contributed virtually nothing this year (along with acquiring D-Rob, but I am fine with D-Rob and she was starting to get going before her injury). Reeve either a terrible coach, or terrible GM, because almost everything she's been touching this year turned into crap.

| I never thought of it like that. If Howard didn't help Seattle and they sucked then the Lynx would have good draft pick. But if Howard+Seattle was great and the Lynx sucked they would still get a good draft pick. Seems like an EOY strategy me - there was literally no way to lose. All they risked was a championship. Thanks for explaining it SpaceJunkie!
