Mike Vorkunov talks to The Athletic's lead WNBA reporter, Sabreena Merchant, about the big news in the WNBA and women's basketball: the new CBA. Mike and Sabreena get into the details of the new CBA, what it means for the league, and what there is to like and worry about for the players. We discuss how the WNBA will operate with the new collective bargaining agreement in place and if either side made a bad deal. Then, Mike and Sabreena move on to the rapidly approaching WNBA offseason. It's about to start very soon. There's two expansion drafts, a WNBA draft, and free agency. It's time for the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo to start building their teams and then start playing. We talk about which teams might have big offseasons and why. We also discuss the crunch that teams like the Las Vegas Aces could find themselves in with the new CBA. Also, is there a new way to build a winner in the WNBA and does it give teams like the Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings an advantage because of Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers? That and much more in this new episode of Business Decision.
