So his contention is that in the WNBA the league is very strict on the total team salary cap. That the types of creative payroll shenanigans that are prevalent in other professional sports is not tolerated in the W. Any truth to that?
I didn’t write down the salary figures but apparently Nika would be slated to make about $3000 more than Jade Melbourne if they were both to make the team. That somehow the addition of Jade however, being paid just slightly less, keeps the total salary under the limit, and Nika would just barely break the budget given the inclusion of a third player that the team would surely want. In essence it is the slight difference in salary that makes all of the world of difference.
Wouldn’t Nika be making the league minimum? And if it were a ‘minimum’ how is it possible that Jade would not be compensated the exact same amount?
