After a year of significant change, Cheryl Reeve sees a bright future for the Lynx and she wants to see it through.
Reeve, the general manager and coach of the Lynx — she was named the WNBA’s basketball executive of the year after her remade roster made it into the playoffs for a ninth straight season in 2019 — has agreed to terms with Lynx/Wolves owner Glen Taylor on a three-year contract that will take her through the 2022 season. |

Perhaps she should have won the "Most Improved WNBA Executive" award instead.

I’m not sure how much pride she should have being named Executive of the Year. The reason the roster needed as much help as it did was because of her disastrous first season as GM. Not a single good move. I believe the only 2018 acquisition that held over to 2019 was DRob, and it’s debatable how good of a move that was.

Reeve said she is convinced that, had Christmas-Kelly and Shepard stayed healthy, the Lynx would have been a top four team in the league. |
Shepard would have helped post depth, but I’m not convinced Christmas would have been much of a factor. She would have started and held back Collier. Had Talbot for depth.
I noticed Reeve didn’t mention Augustus being out most of the season as a factor in losing. Sign of Augustus not coming back?

i saw this about collier in regards to the national team college tour, re: january time-frame...
'but Collier won’t be joining them because she’s signed to play professionally for Fenerbache S.K. in Turkey.'

Also four years probation, which could interfere with her playing overseas

Congrats.
She looks happy.
The Sir Walter Scott statue in the backdrop, makes an interesting aside to the story.

Sounds like Maya is interested in coming back to the WNBA, but I don’t like how she describes it as “come back to the table”. There’s nothing to negotiate. The contract is already signed. She’ll get adjusted to the new CBA rate.

I think Fowles is still under warranty and should run for more miles. Tires are not yet bald.
Robinson will suffice.
I'm sure Collier's working on her 3 point shot.
Moore is the big question.

So, should we view this as a trade: Hopkins for Smith?

Did Winsidr beat Megdal to the punch again?
I’m skeptical and disappointed with this hire. To me it seems less like a hire that will help the coaching staff get better and more like a promotional tie-in hire. “Katie Smith returns to Minnesota!” Just watch.
Is Reeve trying to send a message that the Liberty made a mistake replacing Smith with Hopkins? Stop playing these kind of games with our franchise, Reeve.
