The Washington Mystics ripped up their roster in the offseason, and they did so with grand ambition. They brought in a former league MVP and crossover star in Elena Delle Donne. They brought in a point guard with championship pedigree in Kristi Toliver. They featured long-distance shooters at almost every position. They were, The Post reported at the time, hoping to create a potential super team in the Golden State Warriors model. Just that.
Thing is, the WNBA already has a super team. They’re called the Minnesota Lynx, and they made quick work of the Mystics in this WNBA semifinal series, winning three straight games, all by double digits. Although super team really isn’t a grand enough term for a team about to play in its sixth WNBA Finals in seven years. Call ’em a super duper team, and Washington’s not quite there yet.
