It's official - the W and the players have a new 6-year-CBA.

Pam Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Women's National Basketball Players Association, said the new CBA — the third for the 11-year-old league — positively impacts every group of WNBA players. "Some deals players have to wait five years to feel the impact of the negotiations, the impact of this agreement will be felt immediately," Wheeler said.

There will be a two-tier salary cap system. There will be a guaranteed 3% annual increase in the "hard" cap, with owners able to spend an average of an additional 4% under the "flex" cap.
