Nika Baric? Really? If she makes the team, she'll take her place on the bench where Lindsey Moore and Nadirah McKennith once sat.

That's the spot they're looking to fill.
I wonder if she was lured over with a guaranteed deal like Rebecca Allen got. It looked like for sure Reeve was scouting PG's (Boyd, Orrange, Logic, Hrynko), so this announcement surprises me if it's a guaranteed deal. Wright moving on maybe, or just not having a current draft pick join the team? Trade the pick or draft all unavailables?

| She's a drafted rookie. She signed the rookie scale contract and said she was showing up. The rest of it's just fluff. |

Oh, cool. Rebecca Allen is undrafted so the same rules don't apply. Apparently she can be given a guaranteed contract.
It's weird somebody determined to be good enough for a guaranteed deal was overlooked in the draft. What would have been her draft class?

| I assume Bill promised Bec Allen a spot on the opening day roster and not a camp invite like other teams may have put in front of her. I assume if she really disappoints that she could be cut without full payment like any other undrafted rookie.

One of the Aussie articles described it as a guaranteed deal. Is Allen being suckered?

Like all businesses, if you lie to people it eventually catches up with you. So, if NY promised her a roster spot, I'd expect they will folllow through. Besides, based on what I've seen and how well Allen matches NY's needs (defense and jump-shooter), I think she will easily make the team and be a rotation player.
The reason Allen wasn't drafted is because she had some injury issues that held back her development. Also, remember how young these players are. Allen has a late birthday, so at the time of the 2012 draft she would have been 19 and a half. That's basically a college sophomore.

The guaranteed deal stuff wasn't a quote from Rebecca it was from the journalist. He may have just got his wires crossed.
I doubt there is any chance she doesn't make the team. The only problem may be if she is injured and needs to be replaced.

| Minnesota managemaent should make a request to the minnesota starting 5 to take a 5-10k paycut .This would free up room to sign Lavender.Yeah,LA would probably match the offer,but it's worth a shot.

Since Maya Moore is the only one who is a free agent, I don't think the Lynx can ask the other 4 to take a pay cut, at least for this year.

| wouldn't be surprise to see minnespta trade wright.She's heading into the 6th year of her contract and will become an un-restricted free agent after the season.I'm not sure if the lynx can afford wright or have any interest in paying her the max.Also,Wright may have a desire to be a starter.A Lynx/storm trade would make a lot of sense

Only if her contract happened to be running out. |

Well we kind of do. (ck Agler's comments from last year)
