WNBA Union Proposes Revenue, Housing Deal

The union is requesting 26% of gross revenue, down from 27.5% in their previous offer, with a salary cap around $9.5 million in the first year. For housing, the union maintains its position of providing housing for all players in the early years of the agreement, but would allow exemptions for players earning at least 75% of the maximum salary in later years.

The league needs an agreement by March 10 to ensure an on-time start to the season. If a deal is reached by that date, it would likely be signed by month's end, followed by an expansion draft between April 1-6 for new franchises in Portland and Toronto.
