The WNBA remains at a crossroads as CBA negotiations continue to stall, and the ripple effects are starting to show.

Rachel DeMita breaks down the league’s latest counterproposal to the WNBPA, why revenue sharing remains the biggest sticking point, and how a potential strike or season delay could impact free agency, expansion teams, and the on-court product. She also reacts to growing strike rumors and explains why comparisons to historic NBA labor moments may not fully apply here.

The episode also touches on Caitlin Clark’s long-awaited Nike signature shoe, the new Kobe PE release, and how uncertainty around the season could affect future launches. Plus, Rachel discusses recent offseason injuries, why year-round play is becoming a real concern as salaries rise, and how all of this could ultimately impact the quality of play fans see on the floor.

NBA All-Star Weekend is almost here, and it feels like a make-or-break moment for the league.

Rachel DeMita breaks down the new All-Star format, the USA vs World angle, and whether this year can finally bring real competitiveness back to the game. She talks about the changing guard in the NBA, why players like Victor Wembanyama, Cade Cunningham, and Anthony Edwards matter in this moment, and whether the league’s growing edge this season could actually show up on the All-Star court.

The episode also dives into the ongoing issues with All-Star Saturday night, the lack of star power in the dunk contest, and why the NBA still struggles to get its biggest names to participate. Plus, thoughts on the three-point contest, Damian Lillard’s surprising entry, and why fans have slowly stopped caring about what used to be one of the biggest events in basketball.

Is NBA All-Star Weekend about to turn a corner — or is this just another missed opportunity?
