MC CARVILLE VS SMITH
The Lynx did the right thing in taking Tangela Smith. A proven veteran in the league. An All Star. A bigger and BETTER player than McCarville. That is what matters. Emotions do not make good decisions
The host of media & fans want McCarville, but they are living in the past and not focused on what matters and what wins games. I don't have anything against McCarville, but Smith is simply better. After four games of fan bump in attendance you would see the slide once again. It is time to look forward, and don't look back on the past glories.
DO NOT try to trade to get McCarville. Where would she play? Also NY would have the upper hand in the deal knowing that MN is "Desperate" to get McCarville.
Here is what the Twin City media is saying.

Tim Leighton and Bob Sansevere of the Pioneer Press.
Pam Schmid and Michael Rand at the StarTribune
