WNBA’s commercial deadline comes with a lot of uncertainty

Last week, the MLB commercial deadline presented a whirlwind of moves.

Will the deadline for trade in WNBA, scheduled for Thursday at 3 pm, will be presented the same level of drama?

It is difficult to say.

After talking to many coaches, general managers and agents, feelings about the league are that no one really knows what to expect.

“It’s interesting, right?” Chris Kulanis, coach of the first year wings, said last week. “When you have teams there, and is this their window? Do they need to add another piece and really go to it? … These will be the questions that all this GMS ask themselves (before the deadline.) But yes, we will see what kind of movement ends.”

There are some reasons for this.

For beginners, every player is not on a qualified rising contract to be a free agent after this season.

The competing teams must ask themselves whether it is worth handing over one or more future assets, such as a draft choices or players under the contract after 2025, mainly two months rental.

This is part of the difference that the teams that may be considered “sellers” or aspiring to a talent outside of pregnancy for long -term assets may be in a non -favorable position this time.

She said: “It makes it more difficult for the teams that may have a player, and perhaps in an ordinary year you can be a seller because of its place and what are their future goals, this opportunity is a little less.” Since most players are in expired deals, “the value will not be there as it may be in normal years.”

It is difficult to determine the size of the 2026 free Bonanza shift on the league scene.

Will the stars choose to re -sign their current privileges? Or can it be the last more attractive?

Also, there is a lot of uncertainty on the horizon on WNBA as the negotiations of the collective negotiation agreement continue.

The expansion draft rules are part of the CBA, so the difference does not know what to expect at this season’s event for Toronto and Wortland privileges received.

Last year, the teams were allowed to protect six players. It can change this time.

It is also worth noting that the deadline for trade in WNBA often comes and goes without great moves.

It was the most important mid -season trade in the history of the league when the sky dealt with Silvia Fuwalz to the icon in 2015.

Fowls continued to help Minnesota win the WNBA finals in that season and played seven other seasons there before retiring from her career in the celebrity hall.

The conversations between the teams occur constantly throughout the season. This was not different this time.

Some of these discussions are just preliminary temperature tests to measure the interest of others, while others are more dangerous.

Connecticut (5-21) is one of the teams that enter this week.

General Manager Morgan Talk told the Post newspaper that she was not actively looking to take a step, but her door is always open.

“For me, it’s just seeing what comes, right?” She said. “I have always been one to listen to what the other teams think or if there is an interest in some players, and I always listen. I think it is a good way to get an idea of how to appreciate things or what they think about.”

The entire beginning of the sun from the semi -finals of the WNBA for the last season runs the left outside. Connecticut in the reconstruction mode and spent this competition in the collection of the capital and the young players.

It was a difficult season for The Sun, who won his best victory on Friday against freedom. But Tuck is enthusiastic for players in the state of Contect and the future of the sun.

“Now I feel that we are in a position, based on where we are, it is like,” well, let’s see what is logical. If it is logical, and if so, we will be fine. ”

Sun Marina Mapri’s goalkeeper has been rejected before the season, but it seems to be in a strong place now where she settled in the season.

The sun does not shop actively for seven years.

Among the players who were mentioned as the potential candidates for the wings guard/striker Diego Carrington and Sufi striker Aaliyah Edwards.

Whether the ongoing conversations are translated into actual transactions they will appear within a few days.

“You never know,” coach Sandy Brundelo said. “This parity league appears. Anyone can overcome anyone on any specific night. So I think this is great for the league. But where are the teams (she), what they want to move to and those who want to move … there are many conversations behind the scenes there. But for us, we are happy with what we did, and who we did.”
