MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL - Minnesota Lynx today announced that that they have acquired Sacramento's second-round selection (23rd overall) in the 2007 WNBA Draft in exchange for forward Adrian Williams.
"This trade allows us to pursue any free agent and trade opportunities that will help strengthen our roster," Lynx Chief Operating Officer Roger Griffith said. "We are confident in our depth at the four spot and needed to create the roster flexibility to address our other needs. Adrian is a great professional, we were glad to have her in our organization for the year and wish her well."
The Lynx receive the 23rd selection in the 2007 WNBA Draft, which means they now hold the fourth, 15th 23rd and 24th picks. Williams, a six-year veteran, signed with the Lynx as a free agent on Feb. 1, 2006. In addition to playing for Minnesota, she has also appeared in games with Phoenix and San Antonio. In 174 career games (74 starts), Williams has averaged 5.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists. In 2006 with the Lynx, Williams averaged 4.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.3 assists.
