The Collective Basketball Agreements Podcast, hosted by Joe Manganiello. Deep NBA & WNBA Coverage from a Pro Basketball Negotiation Champion, analyzing pivotal jargon & implications of the Hoops industry.

On this show:

01:45 — Coming into the #2 overall selection in April's WNBA Draft by way of trading star Jewel Loyd. Seattle should have their pick between a pair of excellent Notre Dame guards.

03:45 — Intrigued that "a team this good" (i.e., top 5 team) will draft this high in the Draft. Seattle retains most of its core from a season ago, including Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike, while also using the core designation to keep Gabby Williams.

10:30 — Seattle has perhaps the best center rotation in the WNBA with entrenched age 25 defensive star Ezi Magbegor and returning three-time champion Alysha Clark.
