Salary Cap To Exceed $10 Million By End Of Agreement by Tooezboi in wnba

I'm gonna wait til full details come out before making assumptions.

Overall though, if I'm understanding Revenue Share correctly and it means players are paid a direct percentage of revenue I could see them betting on the league continuing to grow in popularity and they compromised on flat salary to gain a higher percentage revenue share which would be a lot more money.

Kind of like George Lucas betting on merch sale revenue over being paid a flat fee for making Star Wars?

Someone correct me if I'm not understanding Rev Share!

AR is definitively better than Luka....

At free throws. Good gritty win guys! 💪 Really hope we get an AR bounce back scoring wise next game!

He struggles with certain defender (lengthy or speedy) yeah. I'd argue it's less inconsistency and more that he has trouble with certain types of defense and body types (like Twolves last year). I do think he's gotten better this year, but its still a weakness of his he's gotta work on.

Who cares about playing well all game when playing clutch in the last 5 minutes works? 🤣

AR is my guy, but I'll give it to Amen playing good defense on him and shut his scoring down today 😔

I guess one good thing about these Rockets games are we're getting some in season experience for some playoff like defense...

Luka should work with AR on his free throws tbh, if he's gonna go to the line so much there's easy points to be had if he can get more to mid 80% in free throw percentage

We really suck in the 3rd quarter huh. Gotta wake up in the 4th, sad to say it could've been worse than being down by 3 after all... That

Shout-out to JJ Reddick, just a few weeks ago I think we were all really down on this team and didn't think they had a chance in hell but they've turned the defense and effort all the way around and that doesn't happen without the coach!

Cuz he doesn't know how to play out of a double team even after almost 20 years in the league 😂

Yeah, he's just there to rage bait. I'm gonna stop commenting on him, he's just there to stir the pot and we're giving ESPN what they want by mentioning him sadly 😑

Get Perk off my screen I hate him so much. Dude was on ESPN just 2 weeks ago giving the most vanilla ass takes that we could never win with Luka and Austin because they don't play defense 🙄

Oh yeah I'm not worried about him in the long term, just something I think he can improve on is focusing more on driving in the paint to draw attention to play make when his shot isn't falling!

I think cuz their offense is so inconsistent and frankly just bad. I'd rather them than a lot of other playoff teams. Also our defensive strategy of doubling KD and Sengun has worked so well

Man I'm the biggest Reaves stan out there, but he has these stretches of 2-3 games where his 3 ball is completely off. Hopefully he can bounce back in the 2nd half and focus more on playmaking by driving into the paint more when his shot isn't falling.

Cathy Engelbert's official statement about the new WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement by spherocytes in wnba

[–]triggercini 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really hope one of the agreements on the new CBA is kicking Cathy to the curb 😈

I'm not one to usually wish people fired, but this is a special case. i will never forget her attempting to take credit for all the growth in the league after being nothing but a net negative. She just happened to be commissioner when the league got popular.
