Per the article, the revenue share the player would get would be from league earnings, provided they hit certain targets. The team earnings are excluded. Why? Obviously we'll never really know but it comes across shady to me. [URL unfurl="true"]https://frontofficesports.com/adam-silver-wnba-union-cba-owners/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
