[QUOTE="78pike, post: 875698, member: 4030"] The problem lies with the WNBA having such a low salary cap per team to keep the league financially viable. If you look at the Liberty's salaries you will find their five free agents all make six figures, while the rookies and players signed to draft contracts over the last few years are all making money similar to Lorela. Sabrina Ionesco, who is one of the best players in the league, is only making $71k per year since she remains on her rookie contract from a couple years ago. Rhyne Howard, this year's #1 pick in the WNBA draft is only making $72k per year. Once that contract is up she will be a free agent and join the other stars in making six figures. So the way the model is set up in the WNBA you have to prove your worth for a few years and then try to make a decent salary as a free agent. This is why you see so many players playing overseas in the offseason to try to augment their poor salaries. [/QUOTE]
