I was curious what Kelsey Plum’s salary is this year given her comments at the All Star game. She is making $202,000 this year. The top salary is about $252,000. The league minimum is just over $66,000 and the average salary is about $102,000. The regular season is 17 weeks long and has 44 games. I’m still forming an opinion.

Given the valuation of new teams and current teams, I think they’ve probably fallen behind.

Without really knowing any details about the financials of the league, it seems to me that the league minimum is too low. Plum’s contract doesn’t seem out of line to me at this stage of where the league is at. The rookie contracts may not make sense for this league like other leagues since the younger stars seem to have as much or more value than the veterans. I could see possible drama coming within the players association. It is going to be hard to make all the players happy. I doubt someone like Reese is going to be happy making rookie money the next two years and I doubt the veterans will want someone like Clark to get paid her relative value.

I had heard the WNBA is still running in the red, if this is true I have a hard time with the pay us what we are worth shirts. Didn't hear Plum 's comments. Did laugh at the one announcer woman who said this game is like a girls trip to Cabo no D. That made me laugh.
