With the WNBA exploding in popularity and a new TV deal bringing more revenue, the expectation is that salaries will jump in 2026 and most free agents will sign one-year contracts to get back onto the market next offseason.

The Aces, Sparks and Storm agreed terms to a trade which will see Jewell Loyd head to Las Vegas, Kelsey Plum join Los Angeles and the rights to the No. 2 pick land in Seattle, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

Background: Breanna Stewart just won a championship with the New York Liberty. She isn't going anywhere. It would be ludicrous for her to move on. Stewie also previously mentioned that she'd sign one-year deals for the foreseeable future until the new CBA is in place.
