We’ll start in Minnesota, where the decision to keep Moore is an easy one. Despite a down year by her standards (still a Hall of Fame-level campaign, it should be noted), Maya Moore is central to the transition the Lynx are making from a veteran core that won four WNBA titles into what Cheryl Reeve is carving out next. With Lindsay Whalen now firmly in the coaching realm, Rebekka Brunson and Seimone Augustus both in the latter years of their careers, building around Moore and Sylvia Fowles isn’t exactly a teardown, and this gives Reeve flexibility as she plots her next great team in Minnesota, knowing Moore is part of that plan. Notably, this also means Augustus and Brunson are free agents, setting the stage for some additional, fundamental decisions by both players and team.
