Official Women's Basketball Thread - WNBA 2025 Season

[CHICAGO]

It's funny how the Sky and Fever both tried to fast-forward creating a title contender in one off-season and it's completely blown up in their faces.

IM ABOUT
TO BAN YOUR DUMB ASS FROM
THIS THREAD

For people wondering way Dominique Malonga is barely getting any minutes in Seattle, she just finished playing an entire season in France (September - April). So her season was longer and she faced pro players. And had her team made it further in the playoffs, she would've missed the start of the WNBA season.

The WNBA has had a fukked up business model for a long time. Eventually they are going to have to move their entire schedule so that it matches the rest of the basketball leagues around the world.

YOU SOUND STUPID.

THE NBA IS NEVER MOVING
THE WNBA INTO THE NBAS SCHEDULED MONTHS

They won’t and can’t do it

It’s meant to be a summer league that doesn’t have to compete with anything once it starts rolling. By the time it’s the all-star break, baseball is during its hottest period, basketball and hockey are over and training camps for the NFL haven’t yet started.

They refuse to take the real money out of their players pockets. The WNBA is a luxury item in women’s basketball for the rest of the world. But for American players, the real money is overseas. The league desperately does not want to saddle owners with a huge salary bill without the proper growth in revenue

Front offices LOVE the quick turnaround from the NCAA tournament as much as the marketing department does. They get a recent evaluation against peers, have the draft, get them in camp, and see if they can withstand the season. Of course that means more injuries but also means keeping veterans (see: players they like, but had their spot taken) around the league for longer.

Moving to a fall or winter schedule kills the ecosystem they’ve built that benefits A LOT of people who are the actual stakeholders in the league (players, coaches, management, and TV networks) and honestly I don’t think fans would watch as much

They're preventing the league from growing. college players will never leave early, and good players won't get a chance to play. If their season was aligned with the foreign leagues, they could have FIBA like tournaments. Basically, under the current format the WNBA will be a novelty. The Reese vs Clark drama is the ONLY thing that driving anything at this point. Artificially inflated gibberish and storylines. I'm speaking from a pure basketball development stand point. Rookies and foreign players come into the league at disadvantage every year. It's a bad business model.

Doesn’t look like they gonna do good this year anyway. They about to be 2-5. It’s still early in the season so maybe they can push thru.
