WNBA Players Just Overplayed Their Hand + They Really Blew It...

The WNBA CBA negotiations just got even messier. After the leaked letter from Kelsey Plum and Breanna Stewart, the WNBPA went into full damage-control mode…statements, interviews, and push-polling controversy that only raises more questions. Rachel DeMita breaks down the union’s response, the reporting around who leaked the letter, why some players may actually want a strike, and how this chaos could impact the 2026 season, expansion teams, and roster planning. Plus: Charles Barkley’s blunt warning about “overplaying your hand,” and why the league’s silence might be the most telling part of all. The WNBA CBA deadline has officially arrived, and yet there’s still no clear resolution. In this episode of Courtside Club, Rachel DeMita breaks down the latest developments in the ongoing negotiations between the WNBA and the players as the March 10 deadline looms with uncertainty. Despite months of discussions, reports indicate that the players and owners only recently exchanged new proposals over the weekend, and very few details have been made public. With an in-person meeting reportedly happening today, questions remain about why negotiations are coming down to the final hours and whether a deal will actually be reached before the upcoming season... The WNBA CBA deadline has officially come and gone... and no deal was made. Rachel DeMita breaks down the talks that went to the 11th hour last night and the biggest problem nobody is talking about: that nobody cares!! Are we getting a WNBA season or is it cooked? Let us know what you guys think in the comments!
