Possibly, the WNBA and WNBPA are moving closer to agreeing to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
According to the Associated Press, the WNBA has improved their proposal, with the latest offer including:
The WNBA’s updated proposal appears to indicate that the league is moving closer towards meeting the players’ demands, as the first reported proposal preserved the current revenue-sharing model, featured a maximum salary of $850,000 and an average veteran salary of $300,000.
Speaking to the AP, sources around the WNBA described the league’s new proposal “as a highly lucrative package providing substantial increases over prior years,” while emphasizing that it is “designed to bring negotiations to a quick conclusion.”
As these latest details seem to be coming from the league side of the negotiations, it will be interesting see what information the player side chooses to share in the coming days. Their response should provide a clearer indication as to whether or not a new CBA will be agreed to within the 30-day extension window, which expires Nov. 30.
