This article came from the Rep-Am newspaper today. I'm sure many have heard of this already, but I'm afraid it will take its toll on many that won't even get a chance to tryout for a position in the WNBA. Many that wight have been traded or moved around might not have a job this year - At least in this country. I would have thought they would have had a better solution other than just outright cuts without proving themselves.
WNBA
Tough roster cuts are coming
New York Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb knew that he and first-year coach Walt Hopkins would have to make some tough decisions on the team’s roster this year.
He just didn’t think they’d have to do it so quickly and without seeing players compete in training camp. The WNBA and the players’ union decided that teams would have to get their rosters under the salary cap by Tuesday so that players could start getting paid on June 1.
It’s left many teams with tough decisions on who they will cut and little time to figure it out.
Connecticut Sun coach and general manager Curt Miller had set up his training camp roster so a few position battles would determine the final spots on the team. Now he’ll have to make choices a different way.
“Ultimately we have to decide, because we can’t do it all together, what skill set strength of theirs makes most sense to round out our roster,” Miller said
