[Wbbfan1]

Might Maya Moore miss the 2019 season? WCCO TV reported Wed. Moore was considering sitting out, retiring or seeking a trade. Just now the Lynx put out a statement: “We have been in close contact with Maya Moore and together, are deciding the best way to approach next season.”

Wow. Seismic news to me.


Latest story seems to be this.

Lynx, Maya Moore ‘in close contact’ over playing 2019 WNBA season


"The news comes as a shock, just days after the Lynx put a core tag on Moore, seeming to finalize her return for the 2019 season"

WOW!!!!!!!!

This is a surprise.

 

[DefenseBB]

Any idea what the core issue is?

 

[Vowelguy]

While something certainly is up, I don't see any confirmation that she's "asking to be traded."

No speculation on transfers.

"Tobacco Road Guest" really does not do you justice.

"Greater Carolina Meme Master" ?
Or are those .GIFs? I've never gotten the difference down.

Last WNBA season, it seemed something was "off" about Maya Moore. Everyone noticed it, but it was hard to define. Her opting not to be an All-Star captain was odd. She chose rest over World Cup, and I thought maybe she just needed extended down time. ...

Now with WCCO radio reporting Moore may be considering sitting out, retiring or forcing a trade from Lynx, we wait to try to sort out what's going on. She sounded weary at end of last season:

 

[triaddukefan]

How old is Moore?

So if it moves it's a gif, if it's a still image it's a meme?

I wonder where she could potentially end up. Minnesota and her seemed like a great fit. If retiring is really ok the table, I'm sure Minnesota will try to dissuade her on that and try to get something I'm a trade for her.

Some memes still move like gifs. I would say the Shaq gif is like a reaction post. Some pictures can be like that. A meme is hard to explain

 

[nwhoopfan]

I thought only Chicago had their star players force trades.

Whalen retired, Augustus is getting long in the tooth, if Maya sits out/retires/forces a trade Minnesota will be an entirely different franchise this coming season. Maybe Reeve should skip town too, coaching is gonna be a lot harder without that core group together. No young up and coming players to rebuild around either.

I hope she ends up in LA

So it's one of those "I know it when I see it, but it's hard to explain" kind of things.

How old is Moore?

I think she turns 30 in June (on the magical bday she shares with Dee)

 

[VAMike23]

This is shocking news .. !!!

"Greater Carolina Gif Gadfly" ?

I think there is more to it..... but you would have to ask someone far younger than I

 

[Wbbfan1]

I wonder if Maya wants to go back to the Atlanta area. I believe her mother still lives in the Atlanta area.

How about a straight up trade Angel for Maya. Maya is the better player, but Atlanta is not going give up more for Maya unless its a draft pick.
