In case anyone's interested, I did some back of an envelope hypothetical maths for 2021 @WNBA Free Agency:

Cut everyone who looks a likely/easy cut, ended up with 71 roster spots up for grabs.

Also results in around $8,100,000 in cap room league-wide.

#WNBA (1/5) If you assume 12 2021 1st-rounders make rosters, those numbers come down to around $7,300,000 for 59 players.

On my Free Agency list last week - herhoopstats.substack.com/p/2021-wnba-fr… - there were 81 players: 43 UFAs, 11 RFAs, 16 Reserved and 11 Suspended-Contract Expired.

#WNBA (2/5)

A quick thread, if you'll indulge me for a moment. The article I wrote that was published today about the salary cap and roster situations of six WNBA teams has led to some comments on here that I feel the need to address. (1/6) It was largely intended as an analysis piece, although obviously also hoping to be informative. It wasn't presented as 'breaking' any news, despite the fact that there's some contract information in there that hasn't been reported elsewhere. (2/6)

Anyone remember when I was wondering how @usabasketball were going to handle the 3x3 Olympic Qualifier being in March, when all their qualifying female players were college kids? Well they appear to have fixed it, but the way they did it seems hilarious and bizarre. 1/5 @usabasketball According to FIBA's 3x3 site, 13 tournaments were held over a couple of weeks in December and January, all 13 of them in Pittsburgh. I can't find any kind of advertising or website for the 'Pittsburgh Winter Series', so it was presumably all behind closed doors. 2/5

Just to get it on the record, in my yearly effort to go 8-0, I'm taking both home teams tonight. Chicago are just a significantly better team than Phoenix, and home-court gives Seattle the edge in a toss-up game. #wnba 2-0 baby! Taking the Sparks tonight, as they've been the second-best team in the league over the final weeks and should have too much for Seattle. And Sky for the upset, over a Vegas team that faded and only has part of their home-court advantage.
