[THREAD] Here's some free agency terminology for you all:
Reserved Players are players with three or fewer years of service can receive qualifying offers to become Reserved Players. The player’s prior team has exclusive negotiating rights.
Restricted Free Agents are players with 4 years of service...RFA gives the player’s prior team the right to sign the player by matching a contract offer from another team (Right of First Refusal). If the player signs an Offer Sheet with another team, the player’s prior team has..
four days from the date it receives the Offer Sheet to determine whether it wishes to match. If the offer is matched, the player will remain with her prior team. If the offer is not matched within the four-day period, the player will be under contract with the offering team.
Unrestricted Free Agents are players with fewer than five years of service who do not receive Qualifying Offers become unrestricted free agents. An unrestricted free agent is free to sign with any team provided that she is not designated as a Core Player by her prior team.
Expired Contracts...players who opted out or were suspended for the final season of their contract. Players with expired contracts are free to negotiate contracts with their own team but they may not negotiated with any other WNBA teams
if you guys see the Dream's name randomly in these explanations its because Kelsey Bibik is an angel and provided us with definitions of all of these terms lol
