Welcome to Podhalla with Brian and Garrett Gonzales, your essential source for all things Golden State Valkyries and the WNBA!
In this episode, we dive deep into the high-stakes WNBA CBA negotiations, referencing the crucial reporting from Ben Pickman at The Athletic. The league and the WNBPA are debating a massive shake-up, including a proposed new maximum salary and a boosted minimum salary.
