This is great news and about damn time. We need the popular stars to play and to not sit out when their overseas club pays them significantly more to do so.

Hear hear! Now WNBA stars can play for satisfaction AND decent money.

More than anything this means the end of the bench players can actually afford to focus on just basketball year round. Still not to a point where the WNBA will be the only league these ladies focus on every year, but it is at least a step in the right direction towards waking the WNBA a priority.
