It’s the story hovering over this entire WNBA season: the CBA, or collective bargaining agreement, is being renegotiated. Whatever document comes out on the other side is set to remake life in the W for years to come. But how exactly? Ben, Sabreena, and Chantel break down everything you need to know to wrap your mind around it all. Plus, the crew discusses Paige Bueckers’ Minnesota homecoming, Sue Bird’s new role at USA Basketball, and the Liberty’s record-breaking valuation. Then, Diana Taurasi sits down with Ben to talk about fellow UConn alum, Paige Bueckers’ adjustment to the WNBA, her own life in retirement, and what might be next in her basketball future._________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:What are WNBA players seeking in the next collective bargaining agreement? by Ben PickmanWNBA’s New York Liberty have raised capital at a record valuation of $450 million: Sources by Ben PickmanPaige Bueckers’ pro debut in Minnesota was a reflection of her roots and inspiration by Chantel Jennings_________________Get in touch!
