It would be nice if they lose some players in an expansion draft. The series has been brutal. Up 16 at the half.

I'm sure there is a reason the two sides are agreeing to extensions of the existing deal while they try to hammer out a deal when things don't appear "close" to a deal - health insurance coverage, rehab? - and that nobody would notice a strike in the off-season. I guess I just haven't seen it presented that way in print. Also always wondered with much of the league playing off-season leagues overseas to pad their income, how injuries occurring outside of the WNBA are handled.

Probably depends on the level of talent. If you're Brittney Griner (who wasn't injured but was held out of the picture for a year), they'll save you a spot for when you get back.
