The Tamara Moore trade is the latest event in a bizarre saga in Minnesota. Last year the Lynx traded Betty Lennox to Miami for Moore. Lennox was bitter -- she was caught off guard by the trade, and couldn't understand why the Lynx didn't want her.

This year, Lennox was hoping the Lynx would pick her up in the dispersal draft. They snubbed her again. After the dispersal draft, she said that she still didn't understand why she was traded in the first place. Now, Minnesota has traded Moore to the shock for a third-round pick next year. Good as next year's draft class will be, a third round pick is still almost worthless.

So, the Lynx have essentially given Lennox away for nothing. Lennox, meanwhile, has had a very good preseason in Cleveland.
