| That is an awesome article by Jeff. It states clearly that the Mercury and the WNBA is here to stay. I have a feeling this is going to be a special year for our girls. Go Mercury! |

Quote: A lockout/strike is unlikely because of how it would damage the league. The most likely end result is a salary cap of perhaps $1 million to be distributed as each team chooses, limited free agency for five-year veterans and improvements in player marketing rights and pension.
Jeff, do you have any insider info on negotiations? :) |

| The information on the collective bargaining negotiations comes from talking to various people on both sides of the matter and putting together their ideas about how the new CBA is likely to shake out. The consensus seems to be something along the lines of what I wrote although if they go that way the initial amount and ensuing increase of a salary cap would be a major issue. |
