Welcome to the WNBA offseason

The amount we don’t know about what will shape the WNBA plans of a dozen teams is still substantial as we enter college basketball season (or, as WNBA front offices view it, WNBA Draft evaluations season).

More from WNBA

We don’t know what the new CBA will bring in both rules and salary options, with things like coring, free agency, even length of potential contracts for both rookies and veterans all up in the air.

But High Post Hoops has collected your latest, up-to-date salary info to get a sense of what teams will have to decide this winter, once the league and union get together on some new rules. The update includes several previously unreported salaries, along with a big-picture look at how teams are put together.

Note on the salary cap number for 2019: it is virtually complete, but I did not include players who were partial-season terminations, to give the rosters as current an end-of-2019 look as possible, since we’re looking ahead to 2020 now.

Let’s take a tour around the league, shall we?
