The #wnba CBA negotiation deadline is tomorrow. What do we think will happen? They could extend again, or they could enter into an official lockout or strike.

I don't think the players and owners are close to agreeing, but I can see another extension being announced.

The more I look at this, the more I hate it. The Mercury has consistently been at the top of my favorite branding, with the court and the jerseys. I will be really sad if those change as well

Even though yesterday's #WNBA Draft Lottery was chalk, it will still have ripple effects!

This morning, we look ahead to what impacts this year's draft order might have on the league.

We also hit on the state of CBA negotiations and NY's new hire.

The results were chalk, so the order will be:

Now let's see if they can get a CBA deal done to benefit these players!

Heck of an event to close out the #NWSL season by Watch Party PHL!

Congratulations to Gotham FC, but more importantly to Watch Party PHL on selecting the name of Philly's next Women's Sports Bar, coming in 2026!

Can't wait to watch some W at The Stoop Pigeon!

Nice stretch there for Lauren Betts. Really showed off the post dominance that has here at the top of draft boards.

I'll be interested to see a bit more of that FT Line jumper that she hit too. Any range extension for her game will make her even more dangerous!

2. The corporate investor is Sela, described in one write-up as "a company based in Saudi Arabia." Sela is, in fact, owned by the Saudi Wealth Fund, which means Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. You may know him from that time he may have been personally involved in the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
