How Much Money Can WNBA Players Realistically Expect in Next CBA Deal?

The WNBA's superstars are growing in popularity, but the WNBA's revenue is around 2 percent of the NBA's. Still, it's often used as part of the argument to explain why WNBA players collectively earn about 9.4 percent of the WNBA's revenue, while NBA players split roughly 50 percent of the NBA's revenue. The salary cap for each WNBA team, which isn't explicitly tied to the arbitrary 9.4 percent figure, is set at $1.5 million. That's a much smaller pie than the NBA's current $154.6 million salary cap.
