Lynx backcourt thin with loss of guard Renee Montgomery in free agency to the Atlanta Dream

http://www.startribune.com/lynx-backcourt-thin-with-loss-of-guard-renee-montgomery-in-free-agency-to-the-atlanta-dream/472171283/

Quote:
Montgomery's move to the Dream and the retirement of Jia Perkins means Lynx coach and General Manager Cheryl Reeve will need to replace her entire backup backcourt for the upcoming season, when Minnesota will try to repeat as league champions.


This would seem to make Perkins’ retirement official.

Quote:
Reeve said Montgomery's big personality and veteran savvy will be missed. Montgomery, a West Virginia native who owns a home in Atlanta, wanted to play in a city closer to her family.


I hope this doesn’t become a trend.

Quote:
"She can play both [guard] positions," Reeve said of Jones. "I'm excited for A.J. And she's excited. But I think she'll need help. Renee brought to the table a huge personality, a winners mentality. She knew what it took to win."


Quote:
Reeve would like to solve the team's need at guard before the draft.


Hmmm....

Quote:
That market might make re-signing free agent forward Natasha Howard more of a challenge.


WHAT?!

Surely the Lynx will get something for Howard? First round pick? Chicago needs a PF that can start, they don't seem to want Deshields!!

So the Lynx could afford Jia Perkins being their highest-paid player last year, but now that she's retired, they can't afford to keep anybody? 🤔

I hope that was just author’s opinion. Maybe he’s not good with math.
If Reeve can’t hold onto Howard, her first year at GM is starting to look like a disaster. I’ll keep the faith for now.

Where are you hearing this ? Or is this based upon posters/fans here ? Has their front office gave you this insinuation ?

Chicago seems like a good choice for Howard. She'd start there and the PF spot without Breland now is wide open. Howard for Faulkner?

Well, I'm also convinced McCowan enters the draft and Chicago takes Mitchell & Williams. Faulkner for Howard seems like a solid deal.

PG: Vandersloot/Mitchell
SG: Quigley/Copper
SF: GWiliams/Hooper
PF: Howard/Bulgak
C: Dolson/Coates/Parker

Just feels right. Even at the chance she might go #1. McGowan & Harrison up front for the Aces would be scary.

Based on the fact your still spelling her name wrong i doubt she declares Laughing Laughing Jk , McCowan & Harrison would not be that scary to be honest.

If Perkins is announcing her retirement tomorrow, Lynx should have cap space for 12 players this season.

PG: Whalen/Jones/Cruz?
SG: Augustus/draft pick
SF: Moore/Zandalasini
PF: Brunson/Little/Jackson-Jones
C: Fowles/Fagbenle

My thoughts exactly , this is to fill the void for howard if she leaves & with the time thats passed its looking more and more likely she goes else where. Maybe Howard to NY and they cannot announce or finalize until the NY situation is complete .

If they're also signing Jackson-Jones, then I'm assuming Howard is out. They still need a guard(Pondexter? S. Johnson? Latta?).

That’s not my thoughts. Kizer is built to back up the center. Moreso filling that Pierson void. Howard is still needed to back up the PF/SF. Sign Howard and that’s a secure front line.

Now if they can get Shenise Johnson, who has combo guard skills, the Lynx would be about set. I don’t care if they have to go with 11 again. I could see them going cheaper with Cruz, but I’m not sure if she’s making herself available.

Hopefully the Kizer tip is true. Wiseone usually has the good scoop on Kizer.

Toad, you nibble on every little rumor or speculation. You had Camille Little going to the Lynx. Same source as the TJJ rumor? Robert Pera? Where is he?

I wonder if they're thinking about bringing back Cruz and signing a FA guard? Or just drafting a guard with their pick?

PG: Whalen/Jones/Cruz or draft pick
SG: Augustus/free agent
SF: Moore/Zandalasini
PF: Brunson/Jackson-Jones
C: Fowles/Kizer/Fagbenle
