In this episode of Podhalla, Brian and Garrett Gonzales dive deep into the seismic shifts happening in women's professional basketball. We start with a comprehensive breakdown of the new WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). This landmark deal is changing everything, from the $7 million salary cap to the introduction of developmental roster spots that will reshape how teams like the Golden State Valkyries build their foundations.

We discuss the emerging details of the 2026 season, including:

The Extended Schedule: Why the WNBA might be playing until late November.

Rookie Salary Explosion: How the new scale affects top picks and players currently on their rookie deals.

Developmental Spots: What these extra roster openings mean for league depth and talent retention.

Shifting to the college game, the guys analyze the Sweet 16 of the women’s March Madness tournament. Is it truly UConn versus the field? We look at the dominance of the Huskies and which teams actually have a shot at de-throning the powerhouse in their quest for another title.

Finally, we get into the future of the Golden State Valkyries. Using Sabreena Merchant’s latest WNBA mock draft, Brian and Garrett debate the potential arrival of Nell Angloma. Is the French standout the right fit for the Valkyries’ inaugural roster, or should the front office look elsewhere?

What do you think of the new CBA? And is Nell Angloma the right choice for the Valkyries at #8? Let us know in the comments!
