The Women’s Hoops Show

Former WNBA executive and two-time GM Angela Taylor joins to take us inside the room where trades happen. With nearly two decades of league experience — from the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream to the WNBA headquarters — Angela breaks down what really drives trade deadline decisions.

We cover how GMs juggle short-term wins vs. long-term team building, the impact of salary caps and the upcoming CBA, navigating ownership involvement, and the human side of telling a player they’ve been traded. Plus, Angela shares a behind-the-scenes “blockbuster” trade story that started on the back of a napkin.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening in the days (and months) leading up to the WNBA trade deadline, this is your all-access pass.

With the 2025 WNBA trade deadline looming, Jordan and Sheryl break down the biggest midseason moves—including the Lynx-Wings swap—and debate what could still be coming. Then it’s time for “Bring Back a Legend,” the fan-favorite segment where they go team by team imagining which WNBA great could help each franchise today. Finally, the episode ends with a serious discussion about the recent incidents of fan misconduct and how the league is responding.

Whether you're here for trade rumors, fantasy GM dreams, or real talk about league respect, this episode has it all.

We’re handing out our Midseason Awards on The Women’s Hoop Show! But first, we recap a wild weekend of WNBA action—from the Sparks’ buzzer-beater over the Liberty and the Dream ending the Lynx’s home streak, to the Fever going 2–0 without Caitlin Clark. Then it’s time to debate the league’s best so far: Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player, MVP, Coach of the Year, and more. Plus, we dish out some fun honors too—best fits, funniest moments, and favorite WNBA couple. Let the arguments begin.

The WNBA is booming—but the players say they’re still not getting their fair share. In this special episode, we’re joined by Tamika Tremaglio, former Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association and one of the most respected voices in sports labor negotiations.

Tamika helps us break down:

-What a CBA actually is

-Why WNBA players opted out of their current deal

-What revenue sharing really means

-The deeper fight for equity, not just higher salaries

-And the impact of bold statements like “Pay Us What You Owe Us”

Whether you're new to these labor talks or following every update, this is the episode to understand what’s really happening—and what’s at stake.

All-Star Weekend is in the rearview, and it’s officially a sprint to the playoffs.

Plus, the Liberty just signed 2019 Finals MVP Emma Meesseman... is a superteam forming in New York? The episode wraps with a heartfelt Sending Flowers segment.

From hosting the orange carpet and fangirling over iconic fashion moments to dissecting Friday night’s skills and 3-point contests, she shares the highs, the laughs, and the behind-the-scenes tea.

But the weekend wasn’t just glitz and games — it was also a powerful stage for player activism. Jordan dives into the “Pay Us What You Owe Us” moment, the ongoing CBA negotiations, and the backlash that missed the point.
