Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 3151874, member: 4447"] Interesting comments from DT on the WNBA CBA negotiations and what player salaries would need to be to keep the players from going overseas in basketball season: [B][I]On how much WNBA salaries need to increase to keep top players from playing year-round [/I][/B] [I]"It’s something Sue (Bird) and I talk about all the time. What would be the number that would have kept us here in the United States? Would it have been $200,000, $300,000 to say you know what I’m going to stay in Dallas instead of going to Turkey, I’m going to stay in Vegas instead of going to China, I’m going to stay in Phoenix and get ready and maximize everything I can do here in the United States rather than go to Russia. "That number has to be presented and it really has to be looked at if we want to move forward. I don’t know what that number is any more. I know what my number would have been, and they wouldn’t have been able to get there. Maybe they shouldn’t ask me."[/I] [/QUOTE]
