Thought I'd mention this one. WNBA President Laurel Richie is my guest this week.

Topics include:

- The current state of the game on the court and the marketing of it off the court
- Parity early in the season, how the predictions are already wrong on some teams
- Changes and improvements she has seen in the last few years, and what she likes about the game in particular personally
- The prospects for expansion
- Profitability, the effect of players sitting out on profitability, the choices of players to play overseas or stay home in the off-season
- Thoughts on early entrants to the draft, like Jewell Loyd and Amanda Zahui B. did this year
- Handling the Griner-Johnson matter, in light of players and the union now raising some questions about the suspensions
- The Isiah Thomas matter, including the creation of the committee, its makeup, and any involvement of Adam Silver, NBA commissioner
- The remodeling of the WNBA website, its pros and cons, and its completion
- Raising the banner in Phoenix, and the special awarding of a championship ring to Mercury honorary coach Mia McPoland
