We have an agreement (reportedly)
Get ready for a flurry of action in the WNBA.
The Seattle Times is reporting a new collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players has been reached with an announcement to come early next week.
A new agreement means a couple of things.
- Free agents can begin negotiations with various teams.
- An expansion draft to stock the Atlanta Dream.
Some more from the Times.
One source said teams now must submit the names of their core players by Friday. A core player is a player a team designates as untouchable. Teams can list up to two core players. Then teams will submit a list of six protected players, including their core players, who can’t be selected in the expansion draft.
The college/international draft will be held after the NCAA title game on April 8.
If this is true, it’s good to hear. Let’s get it done and get some movement going.
