She compared the trade to Cleveland landing De\u2019Andre Hunter at the NBA trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cIt\u2019s one of those defensive players that will allow everybody to play their normal position,\u201d Parker said. \u201cKayla McBride can go back to just focusing on shooting threes, and DiJonai Carrington will guard the best player on the other team. For me, for a team that\u2019s already in first place, which the Cavs were already in first place, to make this move, it allowed everybody to play their position. And I think DiJonai Carrington being in Minnesota is actually a ridiculous trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Looks like the Lynx have gotten even better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">I was at CHS Field on Thursday to watch the Saints debut of lefthander Kendry Rojas, who came to the organization in the controversial deadline day trade of local product Louie Varland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">He hit 96.3 miles per hour with his second pitch of the game and stayed at 94-96 throughout his outing. He mixed in a sinker, slider and changeup. His changeup missed bats, and I wondered why he wasn\u2019t throwing it more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And, based on what WNBA legend Candace Parker said on the \u201cPost Moves\u201d podcast, the Lynx will be&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":133498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-133497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115002645171656087","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
