Talk about a win win. I'm not sure Karl will be ready to start on opening day of the W given the length of recovery time associated with her injury, but they can IR her until she is a grab a free agent, and they have tons of cap space to be patient while she recovers. She also spoke at Tara's class this year and she has loads of coaching potential once she retires. One of the best eggs to come out of Stanford.

I'm still mourning that bank shot just before the shot clock ended....🫤🫣

Huh? Jessica Shepard and Alanna Smith basically played the same position in Minnesota....and now they end up in Dallas. Together again? I'm.....flummoxed?

On her instagram page much of her off-season rehab was done at Stanford.

The GM for Portland was her GM for the London Lions who Karlie played for 3 years ago.

I think that they can co-exist well with Shepard being the inside presence on offense and Smith sitting at the 3 point line.
Also, I think we can be pretty certain that the Wings will pick a guard with their #1 pick on Monday...

At this point, I think you're right about the guard pick.

Mixed reaction. As a Lynx fan, I loved what Smith added to the team. She is going to do well for the Wings.
