The Lynx say they're still working on a deal for Whalen.
"We are trying to get Lindsay, but more than likely she won't be there at No. 7,'' McConnell Serio said. "We will have to go over all kinds of scenarios to try to get Lindsay. If that doesn't work, then we go to Plan B.''
"This is one of the deepest drafts I've seen in a while,'' she continued. "There should be many great players available.''
Translation:
"Listen, Minnesotans, we're probably not getting Whalen. Get over it. Charlotte wants our #7 pick plus a starter plus more. That's crazy. We don't need another guard anyway. And let's be honest -- are you really gonna stay home from your lake place so you can come to the crappy Target Center on a beautiful summer evening and watch Lindsay sit on the bench? That's what I thought.
"Y'all are fair-weather fans anyway. If the Gophers were last in the Big Ten this year, Williams would have been empty, Lindsay or no Lindsay. You'll start coming once we start competing for a title. Hayden or Brunson will actually help us do that. Just 'cause they aren't cute local white girls doesn't mean you can't learn to love them."
