She and Seattle are apparently on the same page.  The options available to her depend on Lyon's playoffs results and they are currently in first place.

If Lyon makes the French League finals, she, Sandrine Gruda, and Blake Dietrick will all be banned from signing in the WNBA for the entire season due to the new WNBA prioritization rule.

If they are upset, the original plan was for her to sign with Seattle, at which point she would be subject to a fine based on how many days of training camp she would miss.  The French national team setup is asking for all of their players to be available as soon as they are done with their European seasons, meaning that they do not want their players playing in the WNBA until after EuroBasket:

If Lyon does not make the finals, she can rest until June 1st and then report to French camp, but if she participates with them in May, she would also be banned from signing in the WNBA for the season.  There would be time for her to sign with Seattle as long as it is done before July 1st.
