Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5342737, member: 6620"] Wasn't one of the reasons for the formation of UnRivaled was for players who were burnt out/fried going over to Europe, Korea, China or Australia to play in one domestic place -- Florida -- for a set time, while making enough money to augment what are still relatively paltry salaries for the vast majority of players? The W has solid money being invested in it, for sure. And that can and should result in larger salaries which may or may not hurt UnRivaled. We'll get an idea of where this going with the new CBA. However, having one of the faces of the W trash the commissioner who is going to be in charge of the new CBA is certainly going to, err, make things interesting. BTW, I do think Englebert has done some solid things for the league but 'Phee has noted some attitudes which may show some intransigence on leadership's part Not a good idea to think this this popularity is only due to the W (See Clark, Caitlin or Bueckers, Paige or Watkins, JuJu). Another area....the chose way forward is in conjunction with NBA money. This is evident in the downright "our way or the highway" treatment of the Connecticut Sun. I'm writing this while watching the nailbiter between Las Vegas and Indiana, which is now tied at 84, so excuse lack of flow, clarity. [/QUOTE]
