Whoa that's a surprise. The Lynx were down a center after the pregnancy of Vannesa Hayden. I did not expect Smith to be cut with barely time for a cup of coffee. Megan Duffy was in a numbers crunch at guard and that one is pretty understandable to me. More than likely at least two more guards will be cut. Good luck to both Duffy and Smith in catching on with another team.

I really wish Cisti could find a spot in US women's b-ball.
