‘It’s really cutthroat:’ In a year harder than most to make a WNBA roster, rookies contemplate next steps after being cut, deciding to sit out or making a team
https://www.courant.com/sports/hc-sp-wnba-rookie-class-20200530-20200601-r4i2c43nofckvbitmoaedcpnca-story.html

This article is mostly about Gillespie, but there’s a small part at the end about Charles.

[Stormeo]

So for a team like Connecticut, I'm guessing they'll theoretically be able to add a 12th player before the players have to report, given that a 12th player at the onset of the finalized rosters would've only thrown them over the cap by a little (if my understanding of their cap situation is correct). There's nowhere stating they'll have to wait until the actual games begin to add a 12th player since players are now getting paid as if a season is going on.

Is this all correct?

[RI_Sun_Fan]

For teams like the Sun and the Sky, if they wish to add a player later do you know if they need to be quarantined for a couple of weeks before they can enter the WNBA bubble or join their team ? I'm assuming the current proposal that's out there is the way forward.

The thing is, typically the remaining space you'd need for a player is judged by how much of the season has been played (or is left). But this year they started paying people on June 1, before games began. So, potentially, they might decide the space you need by how far along we are from June 1 until whatever they set as the end-date. In which case Connecticut are already probably on the brink of being able to sign their 12th player. Chicago had much less space.

But yes, whoever teams want to add will inevitably have to follow whatever protocols they put in place. It frankly feels like it'd be worthwhile bringing, say, 8-10 unattached players into the bubble from the start. They could be practice players, and then a pool teams could sign from immediately without waiting. But someone would have to cover the cost of that, so it probably won't happen.

Jonquel Jones opts out

Makes the Sun very weak inside now. Does Plaisance start at center? Brionna Jones? Do they pick-up someone like Mompremier?

Right now I don't think they can pick anyone up. They're only down to 10, and they don't have the cap space to add a 12th. But it's obviously all a bit complicated and unusual.

Start Holmes/Bonner/AThomas as your frontcourt and just try to smallball everybody?

JJones doesn’t get paid for opting out, other than the weeks she pick-pocketed while she was deciding if she really wanted to play, so why would she count against the cap? Guaranteed salaries shouldn’t apply if a player opts out. Just like Maya doesn’t get paid for sitting out.

Much as I hate to admit it, yeah, fair point. Got my made-up rules mixed up. Assuming Jones doesn't have a medical reason for opting out (and none has been mentioned in her statements), then her cost would be scaled down to $30,833 and the Sun would have room to add not just one but presumably two players (as they only started with 11).
