Episode 118 | DP & McGhee

The WNBA All-Star Game is next weekend...and Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier selected their teams last night. During the broadcast...the WNBA once again proved they're not ready for primetime by allowing Napheesa Collier to promote Unrivaled. To make matters worse...the WNBA was blasted for their shockingly low payment structure for WNBA All-Stars. We reveal and react to payments for WNBA All-Stars. We discuss Napheesa Collier promoting Unrivaled during a WNBA broadcast...and explain why it was intentional. We also discuss the ongoing negotiations for a new CBA...and explain why the WNBA is headed towards a lockout. USE PROMO CODE BTL15 TO SAVE 15% WITH LIBERAL REPELLENT: https://liberal-repellent.net

WNBA players are currently negotiating a new CBA with Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA front office. Over the weekend...it was revealed that Unrivaled founders Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier...were representing the interests of WNBA players in negotiations.

We discuss the potential conflict of interest...and explain why the optics are the only thing that matters. We discuss the integrity of negotiations being questioned...and also explain why Unrivaled would benefit from the WNBA season being cancelled.

We dive into the New York Liberty's championship victory and analyze how the league's competitive balance has shifted through major offseason trades. Kelsey Plum heading to the LA Sparks, Alyssa Thomas joining the Phoenix Mercury, and the shocking dismantling of the Connecticut Sun's starting five highlight a transformative period in women's basketball.Perhaps most exciting is the Indiana Fever's aggressive team-building around sophomore Caitlin Clark, adding veterans like DeWanna Bonner to create a legitimate championship contender. We examine these moves alongside the WNBA draft landscape, where Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles, and other collegiate stars could further transform the league.The basketball revolution extends beyond the WNBA season with the Unrivaled League, co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, bringing electrifying 3v3 competition featuring WNBA stars during the offseason. This innovative format showcases players like Skylar Diggins-Smith hitting game winners and Angel Reese dominating the boards.But nothing compares to the seismic NBA trade sending 25-year-old generational talent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. We unpack this stunning development from both perspectives – the heartbreak of Mavericks fans watching their franchise cornerstone depart, and the potential championship implications for LeBron's Lakers.Whether you're a WNBA enthusiast, NBA devotee, or simply someone who appreciates dramatic sports storylines, this episode delivers comprehensive analysis of a transformative moment in basketball history. Share your thoughts on these blockbuster moves – which team improved most, and who will ultimately win these franchise-altering trades?

WNBA legend Lisa Leslie spoke with USA Today this weekend...and defended Caitlin Clark against the jealousy and resentment she's received in the WNBA. Napheesa Collier echoed similar sentiments this week on ESPN...as she defended Caitlin Clark being heavily featured by the WNBA on national TV. The attitude towards Caitlin Clark from her colleagues in the WNBA...seems to be making a positive shift. The question is...will Caitlin Clark being embraced have a negative impact on WNBA ratings?

We commend Lisa Leslie and Napheesa Collier for coming to the defense of Caitlin Clark...but question whether Caitlin Clark being embraced is good for the WNBA. We explain how the conflict and drama generated interest in the WNBA last season...and question if WNBA ratings would thrive without it.
