Fagbenle has showed up to camp. That explains why the Lynx needed to cut a player at this time. They could have mentioned Fagbenle was coming in as an explanation. But it’s hard to believe Emery had more merit to stay then Dillard.

I'm guessing Bell had some pretty obvious 'insider' help to beat out Dillard.

Lynx go up against China tomorrow night. Another run before heading off to Vegas.

I'm sorry if this has been answered but I just noticed something and I don't have the time to look.

Did Brunson retire and I missed it? The .com has her listed but she's not on the Training Camp roster, nor did she appear in the box score for the preseason game. Up until this moment I thought she was back. Any info?

Reeve is probably happy with the way the roster shaped up and would probably like to see how it goes without Brunson.

If the frontline disappoints in the first half of the season I could see maybe considering bringing back Brunson if she’s ready, but I would resist that temptation if it means a promising player (Shepard, Zandalisini) has to get cut.

But then Reeve will get paranoid about Brunson joining a team like Chicago or worse yet PHX to help them to a championship. Might have to retire Brunson quick and find her an office job. Surprised

Cut down time. Glen Taylors annual spaghetti dinner has got to be tomorrow or Wed so likely to find out cuts any moment Laughing

Based on what I saw in preseason (which means little not seeing practices) In spike of Larkins looking in really good shape, I like Alleyne over Larkins experience, she's younger & moved better, I liked her energy.

PG: Robinson/Brown
SG: Augustus/Sims/(Bell)
SF: Christmas/Collier/Ting
PF: Dantas//Shepard
C: Fowles/Dantas/(Alleyne)

Hope we have space to carry 12; Fagbenle gets suspended till she comes back. Zandalasini supposed to be due in July; if so Bell & Alleyne get waived.
KCK is nowhere near 100% so I really like the bench depth as its all the young legs so Lynx will have different looks for sure. Excited about this team. Things were odd & stale last yr w/Whalen & Moore checking out, all the new young faces are refreshing. Growing pains to be expected but the team seems to have really good chemistry and more energy; just need to get use to each other and develop roles and who knows.

Go Lynx

Given that they'll have to carry Fagbenle's salary number while temporarily suspended, I'm not convinced it's as simple as one cut. If it's Larkins then yes, it's simple because that drops 80k and you can keep the other 12. But one cheap salary, assuming you're keeping Fagbenle's number on the books, isn't enough to get under the cap. So it's probably either Larkins or two from the Bell/Alleyne/Ting group and roll with 11 for a while.

Stephanie Talbot to the Lynx

Bye bye Fagbenle? Or maybe she’s being moved to PF.

Robinson/Brown
Augustus/Sims/(Ting vs Bell)
Christmas/Collier
Dantas/Fagbenle/Shepard
Fowles/Coates

When and if Zandalisini arrives, winner of Ting vs Bell goes home.
They probably don’t need a placeholder for Fagbenle since Collier or Chistmas can do emergency duty.

These late training camp trades of players for 2nd or 3rd round draft picks seem like a way for a team to move up the waiver wire order. That is, the player was probably going to be waived.
