Quake near my house, 3.1 magnitude. Should I check my quake preparedness kit? No, that would be the easy way out

Bluesky has more than enough NBA and WNBA talk for content, and I’ve always found Twitter to be bad converting to actual viewers and readers.

But there are a few NBA/WNBA accounts that I miss that don’t crosspost here. I’ve tried personally nagging them and it’s improving slowly.

This makes sense, but in this case I believe the players feel really burned by a similar provision in the last CBA about revenue milestones which were impossible to hit because the pandemic dragged down the accumulated revenue

Without access to a single official set of budgets for both sides, one could imagine trickery like counting losses on the WNBA side but also counting the entire WNBA budget as NBA expenses to reduce NBA BRI. Or more clever/deceptive reporting…

“When the owner of the NBA team and the WNBA team is the same person, they can transfer revenue and costs however they want."

Just how did we get to this point where the WNBA might have a work stoppage? Looking at the CBA and what's next | @sfchronicle.com

www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

Hurry up and wait? WNBA owners, players must craft new CBA before free agency, expansion

With the 2025 WNBA season in the books, the league faces its most important offseason yet. Players and owners have until Oct. 31 to agree on a new CBA, putting free agency and expansion on hold.
