WNBPA and WNBA Agree Principly on New CBA

All things considered, the concerns of having a WNBA season were real. In this case, both the league and WNBPA were far apart. After months of negotiations, a new CBA is reportedly all but done with some major aspects addressed.

Firstly, the salary cap will increase from $1.5 million last year to $7 million in the beginning year. This is a massive 333.67 percent boost. Next, a huge elevation in salary will happen as the minimum of $66,079 is growing to in excess of $300,000. Also, the player revenue takes a leap from 9.3 percent under the previous CBA to almost 20 percent in this CBA.

Looking at the super-max deals, the amount will be up to $1.4 million as the average salary is in the neighborhood of $600,000 and the minimum over $300,000. In their fourth year, first- and second-team All-WNBA players on rookie contracts may sign a maximum deal. MVP-winning rookies are eligible for a super max contract.
