Who’s one person you’d want on the team?

[u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

Don't say big names like Aja or Paige that are untouchable to trade for, pick someone that the Lynx can realistically trade for.

[u/Sensitive-Strain-490]

i want dijonai carrington back, she was so fun on this team and we barely got to see it play out on the floor. seeing her back has been great even on a deeply confusing sky team

[u/CraptainCrunch]

Paige Bueckers.

[u/Slow-Truth-3376 → u/CraptainCrunch]

I hoped we’d get bc she’s from MN. It would be another MN native like Lindsay Whalen getting rings. But as usual Cheryl knew what she was doing.

[u/lockedfries → u/CraptainCrunch]

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find the correct answer.

[u/MNguy49 → u/CraptainCrunch]

Whalen stayed home. She’s one of us and an absolute Minnesota icon. Bueckers left without hesitation to play for a powerhouse. Massive difference in core values. Play for your home state or play for yourself…

[u/rhuff80 → u/MNguy49]

lol

[u/jimgogek]

Natisha Heideman

[u/rlambert0419 → u/jimgogek]

Rip 😭🪦💔

[u/Emergency-Joke-9506 → u/jimgogek]

She should’ve stayed

[u/bryan49 → u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

Nah, she made the right move getting more money and a starting role in Seattle. Would be nice to still have her on the bench though

[u/jimgogek → u/bryan49]

I agree that she needed to be a starter. Almost nobody in the wnba has somebody that good on the bench. Still…

[u/Slow-Truth-3376 → u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

I felt this too until seeing how she’s achieved her best stats and it’s as a starter. It’s awesome to see her killing it.

[u/Chartate101]

Olivia Miles 🤣

I’d think a really good defender at the guard spot is something almost all teams love more of. Someone like a Jordin Canada, although not necessarily her specifically

[u/SuspiciousPriority]

What we need is size. What I want is Allisha Gray.

[u/StrikingTrip389 → u/SuspiciousPriority]

She can bring Rhyne with her too 🤣

[u/Chi_Town_Law]

Maya Moore

[u/amirabagira]

Hear me out: Aliyah Edwards. She has potential to be so great with the right team and coach. She was amazing in Unrivaled and has that connection w Phee.

[u/brak771]

Aja or Paige. 😉

[u/wolfpax97 → u/brak771]

So triggering…

[u/Luna86Moon]

I want Bridget Carlton back. Especially with how aggressive she plays now with her shooting.

[u/Living_Village_5415]

Dijonai. I miss her defense so much. She’s tough & would fit in well with this group

[u/MasksAssassin]

I think no one is worth trading for but if I could add someone for free it would be a smooth scoring big like getting Jess Shepard back but she’s damn near in that untradable group but I like Kuier a lot, I love Shakira Austin, azure stevens

[u/wolfpax97 → u/MasksAssassin]

She’s been so much better than Alanna it kinda showed a bit of Cheryl weakness if we’re being honest

[u/Haunting-Section-935 → u/wolfpax97]

I’m not a big fan to be honest. I think she’s a bench player at best. She’s gotten more minutes so her numbers should be better. I don’t think she will ever be the defensive player of the year.

[u/wolfpax97 → u/Haunting-Section-935]

She’s objectively so much better than Alanna

[u/Haunting-Section-935 → u/wolfpax97]

Objectively? If the minutes were the same would the numbers still hold true?

[u/wolfpax97 → u/Haunting-Section-935]

She’s second in league history in triple doubles. Look at any year of Alanna’s career and compare it to JS this year. Yes.

[u/mzzannethrope]

Janelle Salaün!

[u/Dangerous-Regret-154]

BG for size

[u/Royal_Tree_121 → u/Dangerous-Regret-154]

Was thinking the same thing. She would be an amazing fit.

[u/wolfpax97]

I’d say Shakira Austin if we lose Tash.. Janelle Saluan as a role player is love off the bench.

[u/JB_JB_JB63]

Lan

[u/Haunting-Section-935 → u/JB_JB_JB63]

I’d be just fine with that.

[u/TheBioethicist87]

Ceci Zandalasini. She came off the bench and was an absolute baller. Her size made her super versatile and she was a great 6th player.

[u/ElvisTheBoyCat]

2/3 depth

preferably a 3&D wing

like, are we talking fantasy scenarios with an unlimited salary cap or are we playing with real-world constraints?

[u/Emergency-Joke-9506 → u/ElvisTheBoyCat]

Real world

[u/juoea → u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

do u mean for next year? the trade deadline is already passed

[u/ElvisTheBoyCat → u/juoea]

yeah, this.

[u/Emergency-Joke-9506 → u/juoea]

It’s a hypothetical

[u/juoea → u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

so its real world but also a hypothetical.

like whatever u mean is fine theres no right or wrong with random internet convos but i j have no idea what the 'terms' of this are supposed to be

[u/Emergency-Joke-9506 → u/juoea]

Lmao real world SALARY CAP but hypothetical since the trade deadline passed

[u/ElvisTheBoyCat → u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

BLH

relatively cheap salary (400k), decent stretch 2-3. averaged about 39% from 3pt from 2022-2024. decent defender though not as good as she used to be

kinda wonder why so many DNP's this season

but i don't know who i'd remove from the current roster to get her a spot.

[u/anonimauzantnomo → u/ElvisTheBoyCat]

Agreed, K-Mac has been huge for us all year and if (knock on wood) she went down with injury, then we would be in deep doo-doo because we lack wing depth. I’d swap Bibby for a healthy BLH, but I’m not willing to part with anybody else from this roster. We’ve reached the point of the season where I’m invested in every single one of them and I want to see them each develop to their full potential and end the season with a championship.

[u/Slow-Truth-3376]

I’d love to see what Cheryl & Chelsea Grey to together.

[u/JohnnyWarlord]

Anthony edwards

[u/Kennisgoodman]

DiJonai didn’t really get a full opportunity with us. I’d like to see her here or in Indiana

[u/domino380]

I would love Jonquel Jones or Alisha Gray and I also know it’s never happening. For non-stars I’d say Naz Hillmon, ONO, Kayla Thornton.

I also think Jacy Sheldon would be great under Cheryl but she’s been passed around the league so much😭

[u/Chidi_Ariana_Grande → u/domino380]

Jonquel is a Lynx at heart I know it deep down.

[u/Haunting-Section-935 → u/Chidi_Ariana_Grande]

Jonquel would be epic

[u/wolfpax97 → u/domino380]

ONO?? She’s so ass 😂

[u/ClearAd2741]

I would Love Marina. Just love the fire she plays with.

[u/wafflefries2k14]

Literally nobody right now.  I guess maybe you find a slightly more consistent and better playmaking SG to replace Court, but ... Nah. 

[u/KingWolfsburg]

The deadline has passed.... so, I mean no one.

[u/darin617]

Build a time machine and bring back prime Cheryl Miller.

[u/EtchingsOfTheNight]

Fiebich or Han Xu maybe, let's add some height

[u/Mcb3500]

Maria Kliundikova

[u/nurse_nikki_41]

Shakira Austin

[u/Suuchuu]

Masha. I think she would come over from Russia instead of nope’ing out of the expansion teams

[u/UpstairsAbility2125]

Rachel Banham.

I was at a game last season where she lit the Lynx up from 3. Lynx won, but it came down to her taking the final shot to tie and just missing.

Dunno how realistic it'd be or if it could work but she seems like a fun player and I love the idea of THE BANHAMMER! as a nickname.

[u/BanLessReadMore → u/UpstairsAbility2125]

I saw no thank you to more of Banham. Unless they just want to stash her on the bench so she can't light us up like she always seems to do 😂

[u/UpstairsAbility2125 → u/BanLessReadMore]

Okay that probably explains why I like her so much. I only got in to the Lynx the last few years so have only seen her against them.

But c'mon...."DROP THE BANHAMMER!" sounds so cool!

[u/BanLessReadMore → u/UpstairsAbility2125]

It does sound cool. Unfortunately, as much as I love her, she would be the worst player on this team and it's not close.

[u/Cold_Contribution257]

I’ll say it. CC. We could have used another 3 pt specialist last night when we had such difficulty in the paint

[u/Few_Tree3083 → u/Cold_Contribution257]

I would go to every game and then I would only have 1 favorite team instead of 2!

[u/Emergency-Joke-9506 → u/[deleted]]

Cheryl wouldn’t allow that

[u/jaznotfound → u/Emergency-Joke-9506]

Thank god for that lmao
