Gilbert Arenas provides a solution to the controversial WNBA problem

The WNBA could go to a lockout during the offseason, just when it is the most popular it has ever been. The current ABC expires around Halloween this year, and the league and players’ union seem far away in negotiations.

More than 40 players attended negotiations in Indianapolis during the stars weekend last month, and all left with bad taste in their mouths.

“The meeting of yesterday did not go well,” said the recruit feeling of the Dallas wings Paige Bueckers noted. “I think it was great for us to show a collective as players how important this meeting was for us. It was more than 40 people in this room, and it was historic for ABC negotiations. But I don’t think, there was certainly not a point where we accepted and we met to meet the teams.”

This led to the WNBA All-Stars to wear pre-match warm-ups that said “pay us what you owe us”. With only a few months before the expiration of the ABC, it does not seem good for the next agreement.

All-Star and NBA former three times Memphis Grizzlies guard Gilbert Arenas gave his point of view on what the players should demand for the new CBA, and it is a daring idea, as you can imagine with the arenas.

“I think the problem here is that. Stop asking for a fraction of income. (Say) I want real money. Remove the ceiling. Let our owner pay what he wants to pay us. Here is why. Okay, so look, when you talk about a turnover, it’s not different from business, right?” Asked about the arenas.

“We can divide our 50/50 income. So, what does the person who has the business do? Ah, there is no profit. I have all these invoices to pay. So there is no income,” added Arenas.

“So, this is a useless thing to do, right? Because they will compensate for how much they have lost. So they say to themselves:” Oh, you want income, but we have lost 40 million dollars, so how are we going to give you (when we don’t have) money? “”

Gilbert Arenas wants the WNBA completely to remove the salary ceiling and simply lets the owners spend what they want, like the MLB. The NBA has the tax aprons in place so that small markets can always spend at a level similar to the new Yorks and Bostons of the world. In the WNBA, Arenas maintains that it can be a good thing.

“What you want is to remove the hard cap. Leave the egos of the billionaires because one thing that someone with money does not want to be on the same playground with someone who is negotiated. So, if I do 11 billion billion and that he is 500 million, I don’t want to be on the same playground; it’s business. I want to buy his players.”

The most invested owners will force the least expenses to find more investors or sell their teams to someone who wants to spend. It seems good, in theory, but it would not be possible long.

“If Vegas can get their private plane, let them. What’s going on? All the girls start to speak … And what’s going on is that everyone wants to travel there. What ends up getting to the lower half is that they will look for new investors,” said Arenas.

“Stop trying to be greedy,” said Arenas. “You want to have 100% of everything with F *** ING 200 million. No. Go get someone who can invest, and you lose 75% of your business. You have 25. But it’s 11 billion, the man there.”

The WNBA has just signed a $ 11 billion television contract that strikes next season, and players would like to see a larger share of income. The WNBA may have lost money, but the league has never been more interesting for the League with rising superstars like Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink, Angel Reese, etc. This will only increase in popularity.
