not until they know for sure who’s turning pro & who’s not
100% this
Once that last game is played and we get the list of who and who hasn't declared, the Lynx FO better kick it into overdrive. If the Boston staying rumor turns true, then it might be time to consider trading the pick. #2 and maybe AP to someone perhaps? I have always loved Kelsey Mitchell so maybe Indiana would like the #2 pick too for her? I'll have to start thinking of more trade ideas this month lol

I'm thinking it's more like a deal for SDS or possibly Carter. SDS would be worth it if she agreed to an extension. They would have to include Achonwa or maybe Powers/McBride to get the cap space. I'm not sure Carter is worth anything in a trade but Reeve may think she can turn her around. Just based on Talent Carter would be worth more than any player in this draft except Boston. There just aren't that many (any) teams that have an extra PG to trade away.

Carter is and has clearly been on the trade block basically starting from last season, but the problem is no one wants to trade for her. I'm not giving LA the #2 pick for her. Her value right now is a low 2nd Rounder at best.
But again, I'm willing to suck this year so we can get Boston next year lmao

maybe it’s just cuz of her talent, but i hope Carter gets another chance. this Lynx team, my Storm team… she’d be a cheap pickup and only a 1-year commitment, and it’s not like either team is supposed to be good this year anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
all i know is, “bad but still entertaining” is better than “bad & boring”, fwiw

Why anyone would spend a penny, or a practice, with Chennedy Carter would be a mystery to me. Now if she apologizes to every coach and player she's alienated, admits she's been wrong from day one, and shows significant evidence that a change has taken place, then and only then would I want her around. Yes, she has talent, but she doesn't help you win.
She continues to get paid by the Sparks so I'm not seeing much motivation for her to look for a new team or to change her attitude for a while at least. Coaches and GM often seem to think they can fix players so who knows.

I can't see the Storm picking Carter up. She has a similar skillset to Melbourne and I assume they want to give Melbourne the opportunity to prove herself. If Melbourne turns out to be Shyla Heal mark II in terms of performance (I doubt it but who knows), maybe Carter becomes a possibility then.
Don't see Minnesota picking her up either. If Cheryl Reeve didn't have the patience to deal with Clarendon and Sims at the point, she's not going to deal with Carter lol.
I’m mostly grasping at straws. I can’t imagine Carter on the Lynx or Storm. I’d hate for this league to lose a talent like Carter. Again, it’s Schimmel all over again, but Carter was better than her imo.
Carter does have familiarity with Latricia Trammell, who’s now coaching the team closest to Carter’s hometown… she’d only have to beat out Dangerfield for a backup spot. Any other team would surprise me… but I still think (or maybe more so hope) another team will pick her up.

stormeo - I think it would be better for Carter if no team picks up this season. It might cause to eventually realize that maybe she is the problem and possibly change. If not, then she'll never acknowledge being any part of the problem.
clayk - I think her problem goes way beyond selfish - plenty of talented, but selfish players have made careers in pro sports. I see her as a toxic presence in the locker room who seems to be getting worse over time.
