The Minnesota Lynx are exploring potential trades ahead of the WNBA deadline, particularly for Chicago Sky rookie Sydney Taylor. As the team enjoys a successful season led by Olivia Miles, they seek to enhance their guard depth and 3-point shooting capabilities. Taylor has emerged as a strong candidate with solid averages of 14.2 points and 34% from beyond the arc this season.
