Naz Reid. I’m sad he’ll be playing for another team. I’m grateful for what he gave us. I’m happy for the opportunity he has in front of him. Go be the starter you’ve deserved to be for years. Be an all-star. You’ll always be loved here. Naz Reid.

Hey folks, happy to announce that I will be writing a couple of columns per month about the Lynx for Racket. Fulfills a longstanding desire--when I was at The Athletic, they were too slowly assembling a WNBA core staff before branching into team coverage and Minnpost has the very capable Pat Borzi.

"Chris Finch has been the most successful coach in franchise history because he trusts the players enough to give them the freedom to create. But this season felt like an abuse of that trust," writes Britt Robson.

Honestly a pretty good move. Before the takeover, Twitter had way too many streams of revenue, too many people using the platform and too much money. Messy. After the takeover, fewer advertisers, more homogeneous points of view and less money which equals less accounting. Better.
