  1. New contract kicks in next yr I believe
  2. I'm sure there is context for her statement. No one will look any deeper though. Context: Per Ogwumike, the WNBA's latest offer to its players -- while dramatically increasing the salary cap and maximum base salaries, which a league source suggested could quadruple to at least $1 million from their current $249,244 -- follows the same model as the current CBA. "It's basically the same system that we exist in right now," Ogwumike said. "They're proposing a system that includes revenue that would grow with the business. When you approach it from the perspective of their response to our proposal, yes, money is more, but ultimately if you look at the growth of the business, the money relative to the percentage of everything is virtually staying the same."
  3. This sucks. And I hope NBC/Peacock's NBA presentation is way better than their NFL presentation. I fucking hate every single thing about it
  4. There is now a 2nd offer from a group based in CT that wants to move the team to Hartford at least part of the season. Now the league is reportedly trying to shake them down for a "relocation fee" too. Fertita didnt even offer the full $250M that the other expansion groups did and they are still trying to force the team to HOU
  5. Its interesting how the league is kind of strong arming a selling team. The prospective owner being a present NBA owner makes it even wilder
  6. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/washington-mystics-trade-brittney-sykes-194604210.html The Seattle Storm have acquired 2025 WNBA All-Star guard Brittney Sykes in a trade with the Washington Mystics. In exchange for Sykes, the Mystics receive veteran forward Alysha Clark, the Storm’s 2026 first-round pick, and third-year player Zia Cooke. Washington is waiving third-year forward Sika Koné to complete the transaction and waiving Cooke in a corresponding move. Mystics giving up on the season and going all in with the young guns they have in Citron and Iriafin. They had a really nice run and were the surprise of the league. Meanwhile, the contenders are loading up! MIN getting Dijonai the other day and now SEA getting another all-star to go with the 3 they already have in Diggins, Ogwumike, and Gabby Williams. Add in Magbedor and the rookie Malonga and they are looking pretty stacked. I feel badly for Alysha Clark who went back to SEA as a FA. She won two titles there back in 2018 and 2020. She's the oldest player in the league at 38. I know she didnt want to be on a team that wasnt competing in what could be her last yr. MIN and SEA actually play tonight too.
  7. Thanks. That's not a good idea but at least I am hoping its a negotiating tactic not a hard requirement. They're not getting that much. Between 25 and 35% would be my guess.
  8. I've never seen a W player or union rep say they want 50%. Just that they deserve more than 9.5% that they currently get.
  9. Yeah no way in hell Harper is better than Fox right now
  10. This one is tough. Cost of growing the league. Connecticut obviously has a HUGE women's basketball following but moving them from there to a major city like Boston is a big deal for the league
  11. Big oof there. Cant imagine any way RJ doesnt know about Malone's issues.
  12. They just traded for him there was no way they werent going to extend him and they only way they were going to get it done was to max him
  13. They LOVE him and I've never understood why
  14. He tried that shit that drumpf does "some people are saying". Nah man, YOU said it!
  15. In Vegas at that. I had to triple check that score when I saw it LOL
  16. Nick Young that used to play for the Wizards with Gil and then later for the Lakers
  17. Man that shit was EPIC!!
  18. Dude always manages to find himself in the middle of some dumb shit.
  19. This fucker is truly wild. Has there ever been an exec that gets more respect while doing NOTHING! I bet if his team had won his title would be legit though...........oh wait....... https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nba/76ers-daryl-morey-thinks-2020-title-isnt-genuine
  20. Always loved checking what was sampled. Its led me to some amazing music. For instance, Stakes is High by De La Soul is one of my favorite songs Checking the sample led me to this one by Ahmad Jamal and it became one of my favorite songs ever. Absolutely amazing cut, Swahililand. For the impatient ones, sample is at 8:07 but seriously listen to the whole thing. EDITED TO ADD: RIP Dilla
  21. Good game brewing in WAS. Mytics v Sky. Rookie Sonia Citron with 16 in the first half on 6/7 shooting for the Mystics. They have real nice duo for the future with her and Kiki Iriafin to add to All star Brittany Sikes and Shikira Austin for now.
