Then, they dive into the latest entries and commitments from the NCAA transfer portal. Next, it’s onto Winners & Losers of the WNBA Offseason, through the lens of how money is changing the landscape of women’s hoops. They break down A’ja Wilson’s historic contract, the smart free agency moves of Dallas and Indiana, why the Lynx are both winners and losers, and why international talent is flocking to the W more and more. Plus, Sabreena and Chantel’s favorite training camp contracts.
