The WNBA’s New “Caitlin Clark Rule” Changes Everything + The Media RUINED The NBA MVP Award…

The WNBA is about to look completely different... and it all starts with the new CBA.

 

In this episode of Courtside Club, Rachel DeMita breaks down how the updated salary structure is going to reshape the entire league. With over 100 free agents and new rules allowing players to earn max and supermax contracts earlier, teams are about to face some tough decisions.

 

What does this mean for the Indiana Fever? Can they realistically keep Caitlin Clark, Aaliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell together? And why letting stars take pay cuts could actually hurt the league long-term?

 

This is more than just contracts — this is about how the WNBA builds superstars, markets its biggest names, and grows the game moving forward.

 

Rachel DeMita breaks down the NBA MVP race after Victor Wembanyama made his case following a big Spurs win — and why his comments have sparked major debate across media and fans.

 

She dives into why Wemby’s defensive dominance and overall impact go far beyond the box score, and how the San Antonio Spurs have exceeded expectations this season. Rachel also calls out the media for getting it wrong all year, from narratives around Wemby to the lack of respect for Luka Dončić, while breaking down the full MVP field including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić.
