It one thing when your C. Parker making huge money on TNT to take less at the end of your career
It’s another when you’re a top 10 player coming off a lost year and not playing over seas this off season where she usually made the vast majority of her income to play on a team where you get paid less than a “quality depth” player. 200k would be taking less Griner is the definition of a super max player 150k which is what R. Allen will be getting paid seems absurd.
I mean if that is what she is willing to take fine but seems strange her contract isn’t signed yet. I’m willing to bet Cunningham would have been in the EDD trade and EDD would have been on the cheaper contract so Griner could get her due).
(I think something is going on in NY as well the other place that hasn’t inked its deal with its big name core and other unrestricted free agent)

FWIW, Griner just inked a book deal that is likely paying her substantially more than her W contract and her former overseas contract.

Ok that is a horse of a different color and now it makes sense. Thanks

Also, Brit gets flown in private, which is necessary but also a form of compensation.

| Yeah, to be honest my reaction to the Atwell signing was "I guess we've reached the camp filler stage of free agency" but then I checked the numbers she's putting up in Australia at the moment. Obviously there's a big gap between WNBL and WNBA but looks like she might at least be a meaningfully different player than the one we saw for five minutes in the US before. |

| Official WNBA social media is saying Griner has been re-signed, but nothing is showing up in the transactions section yet. Not seeing any details on the contract.

Richyyy has it as $150k
"Source confirms that Brittney Griner has re-signed with the Phoenix Mercury on a one-year contract, protected, for $150,000.
That's basically the most they could legally give her without further trades. Final five roster spots all will have to be on the base minimum."

It’s an interesting lineup. Big 5, smaller 4’s. Must be a 4-out system.
