I think they get paid less in % comparative to NBA peers, don't they?

I’m not sure, all I know is that NBA subsidizes WNBA and without that money, they’d go bankrupt.

I think in the NBA, something like 50% of revenue gets distributed as player wages but the league also pulls a hell of a lot more money, so it’s not an apples to apples comparison.

Apparently 9.3% comparing to NBA’s 50%

They also play with a smaller fucking ball with the same sized rim lol this is just exhibit 453709 of how clinically delusional western women are, reminds me of that "you might wanna stop being so mouthy" vid

Flip is probably too developed to have needed to play SL. He was low key showing a lot as the season went on, and I saw that a few people were starting to notice. He fills the Lauri role (why he should be traded, Jazz aren't trying to be good) but needs a lot of work on D.

He's not a C, he is a clear PF. I'm excited to see him hopefully compete with Taylor Hendricks once he returns from injury, as that guy has put on some size in recovery.

I don't know how I like Rockets signing Okogie. We just added another long defensive wing who can not shoot lul.

Actually we don’t have any perimeter player that can consistently put pressure on the rim. And we are one Vanvleet injury away from nearly zero ball handling threat and if KD is injured at the same time, we'll be as clueless as Motta's JJ on the offensive end. Sengun alone is not enough. I think we are really putting a lot of eggs into Reed taking a leap next season.

On the flip side, maybe Pacers and OKC's meta stacking defensive wings and bigs inspired Stone and Udoka so they decided to go full dawgs mode.

Anyway, at least all our wings are extra spicy on defense and we prolly hit a record of the longest wingspan team. Toyota center may fly away during drills.

Seems to me that anyone can score in the modern NBA, so teams are looking to add guys that can defend onto the roster. Imitation is a real thing.

Houston only need to win 50 games really, the rest is how it falls come playoffs.
