Explaining how the WNBA's new CBA and altered salary structure could change things significantly this off season.

Now that the 2020 WNBA season is complete, it felt like the right time to send out a warning to fans in regards to their teams' roster building for next season: It's not going to be as easy as it used to be.

Changes to the cap structure will force teams to get more productivity out of their rookies and make for a more interesting draft.

Seems to me we are headed towards a barbell salary structure, where you hand out near max to most of the core, are forced to fill out the last few roster spots near the minimum, and have maybe 1-3 in-between where negotiations will be very important to make the numbers work. Also in general I suspect this cap will result in most, not some, opting for a roster at the minimum 11 to squeeze out a few more bucks for a more relevant player.
