My only concern is the extreme disparity between the NBA and WNBA salaries, when basically both of them are supposed to be two sides of the same coin.
They could gave WNBA a little percentage tbh with those contracts, it's not really looking good to have them feel that they aren't given enough credits.

I don’t know if I agree that the NBA needs to support the WNBA. Not without some sort of ownership or something. Let the NBA players start getting together to buy teams and pay the players better if that’s what they want to do. You already see Shaq giving Angel Reese a bag through Reebok. More of that needs to happen.
At least with Caitlyn Clark and co, the viewership is said to have skyrocketed, so I still don't understand why it's as though they're getting paid peanuts compared to their male counterparts.
I was watching a showing and someone said Steph Curry's contract that would see him earn ~60 million through the 2026/2027 season, means Curry is getting paid more than the entire WNBA combined, I didn't do the math to be sure, but if that's anywhere near true, it couldn't be more ridiculous than that, and it's the whole league that just needs some kind of financial restructuring.
