"We’re excited about obtaining a first-round draft choice in the 2012 WNBA Draft," said Lynx Executive Vice President Roger Griffith. "Today’s trade gives us another piece as we continue to build the team into what we expect will be a perennial WNBA Championship contender. We wish Nicky well in Washington."
