"In the new CBA proposal, the players union is asking for players to receive 26% of gross revenue (defined as revenue before deducting expenses) over the lifetime of the agreement, with the salary cap in Year 1 of the deal (about $9.5 million) unchanged from its previous offer."
"The revenue share split is down from 27.5% of gross revenue as proposed in the WNBPA's Feb. 17 proposal, a change that a source said amounts to nearly $100 million in reductions on revenue share."
"In the new proposal, the union struck the multi-year component and lowered the salary threshold to 75% for which players would no longer be obligated to receive team-provided housing."
"The union is now proposing a year of service limit of six after originally asking for no experience limit for those players, a source said, while the league's latest proposal suggested four or five years of service based on minutes played."
The Women's National Basketball Players' Association presented a new counterproposal to the WNBA featuring significant concessions on revenue sharing and housing. The union reduced its revenue share demand from 27.5% to 26% of gross revenue, representing approximately $100 million in reductions over the agreement's lifetime. The salary cap for Year 1 remains at $9.5 million. Housing provisions were modified, lowering the salary threshold from 80% to 75% of maximum salary for players no longer requiring team-provided housing. The union also adjusted its position on developmental players, proposing a six-year service limit after initially requesting no experience requirement, while the league suggested four to five years based on minutes played.
