The latest proposal from the league allows for maximum salaries to hit $1 million, but the owners propose removing an offer of providing team housing, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/frontofficesports.com\/wnba-cba-update-housing-start-date-salary\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports.<\/a> In addition, the league proposed moving the start of training camp to April 1 which is during the NCAA women\u2019s basketball tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The earlier start to the WNBA season will complicate things for players, regardless of whether they play in international leagues or alternative American-based leagues like Unrivaled, Athletes Unlimited and the new Project B.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Also, with the WNBA removing paid team housing as part of the new CBA, if the WNBPA accepts this, it will be a hit to players who aren\u2019t on guaranteed contracts. They would have to find housing on their own and may have to break a lease very suddenly if they were cut from training camp or in the middle of the season for example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The WNBA and WNBPA players union are still negotiating a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, even after a 30-day&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,737,630],"class_list":{"0":"post-321266","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-washington-mystics","12":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
