I am Tristan Craig. And today we are joined by my sister. We have the same blood. We share the same mother and father. She writes for the off-ball news letter.
A news letter about sports and culture and our things. And as well as the flagrant magazine, every, every, every, my sister, asked him, but who so, how you doing? I'm good. What an introduction.
Yes, sir. Let's give it a great tool, man. We have reached a verbal agreement between the WMBA and the players association on a new CBA term. And nickel shares some celebratory pictures of what it looked like in the room.
It all happened. Look at him. Look at him. I've got the cheese from up. It's year to year.
Lord, help me.
So not with just 51 days before tip off, here's what the new terms will entail.
You got to know, man. New salary cap starting at 7 million up from 1.5 million. Every revenue share of nearly 20% across the deal, a super max starting at 1.4 million. The average salary is in a range of 600,000. And the minimum is above 300,000.
Damn. Hester, what do you think about this great news? I think it's very, very exciting. I am still sort of confused about how the Rebshire conversation went down because I know that was like the biggest thing and they said close to 20 and I'm like, but they were kind
of close to 20 before.
But I don't want to split hairs, basically whatever the players think is good enough for
them is good enough for me. And that's that. Ashden, I'm so glad you said that, because you read this and we don't want to be everybody's party and everybody's in the streets with the pots and pans. And I love that.
I love parties. I love that we're getting a WMBA season. Like, I'm not pocket watching, like it's not my money, but it's not my salary. I've got no skin in the game. But there's a lot of words that make my the hairs on my arm go up.
It's like where it's like average revenue share is nearly across deal. So what is it, I need specifics, yeah, I see the change in the salary cap and that is phenomenal. But like I wonder really what the terms look like and what we know will they tell us or is this as much as we'll ever know?
“I hope that they will tell us, I think that they will tell us we're going to find”
out. Investigate in this thing down to the nano level in 1982, 1983 when pretty much all of the NBA was broke and franchises were losing money left and right. They signed a CBA where the players got 53%. So yeah, like I'm kind of like, yo, we can't even get anywhere close to what it was when
the NBA was quote unquote guying or struggling to me is kind of like, what we ever get anywhere close to the men. Well, just as a reminder, she's not trying to rain on any dabs like she's not really for y'all. What's the more millions ages about to get her bread right now?
The other thing is that this is six years. So you're talking are we ever going to get close to the men and it's like not for six years, seven years.
“I think six, they can opt out and are they going to just go from nearly 20 to 50, absolutely”
not, right?
Can't do that.
And yeah, well, I choose to see this as one small step for woman when one giant
step for our woman kind because hey, we closer to the prize than we were yesterday. I have a conspiracy theory that the league intentionally physically exhausted the players to get them to say yes to a lower revsure number because they're in there at 4 AM every night. And it's like at that point, you're just like, okay, I'll sign whatever man. This is torture.
Yes. Why we have to wait for March for this, why could we have done this deal like back 18 months ago, can we get in the room and have these meetings to over and out, they were just putting it off to the last minute. This is keep pushing.
That's not, that's not stop, but we can't see, we can't celebrate the progress. If my band row went from 70 K to around 300, I'm so sorry. I'm buying the bottle of Tom Perry on tonight, bro.

“How many free ages we got in the WMB eighties to these and coming up?”
Oh, 100. There will be over 100 free agents this season.
And someone that first before we go to Dululu, corner, let me just stop everyone from
going too crazy because the players you want to see move, many of them because of the way that the CBA is cannot be moved. It's called the core player designation. It's essentially like a franchise tag. So you want to see in a fecesquire out of the links, which nobody really does.
She's not going anywhere. They can coordinate. I do. I want to see her out of the links today and then the dream jersey. Oh, sorry.
That's another thing. So outside of the core players and by the way, Brianna Stewart does not qualify for core player designation for some reason. So yeah, so says Google, so says Google. I don't know, like I'm not a CBA expert, but that's in the words that Brianna Stewart.
She's not leaving though. She's too. Yeah. All right.
So let's break down what we want to see in terms of you're talking about 100 free agents.
“Where do we want to see some of these players that are non rookies and non core players moved?”
Okay. Let's say this is dramatically, I actually asked Stewie this question yesterday. I talked to her. Okay. Hopefully.
And I was like, I was like, who would you bring to the liberty to kind of up the swag? And she was like, well, we're already pretty swagged. And I was like, I mean, yes, but I have some notes, though. Like, and she suggested Eureka and I think that would be great. So we've turned a rumor.
Should we start a rumor, Stewie's bringing Eureka over? Yes, would be a ball letters, yes, right now. We came to battle there, right? Like, we know Eureka and Paige as much as they wanted it to work. And I wanted it to work.
It didn't feel like it maximized Eureka and it didn't feel like it maximized Paige. So especially if you draft an A.Z. Like if you draft an A.Z, Dan, we got to get some of these guys up out of here. I think you're right about that, Stewie.
“I think Eureka probably probably is going to be out of there.”
I like that a lot. What do I shoot you, who do you want to see him come to the dream? See, when you say the Lulu, I take it as the real word. The Lulu means the Lulu and my dictionary. As you will see, you are now in an atmosphere.
Oh, God. I told you it's not possible. Do you do, I'm not even entertaining this. Who do you do? Who do you do?
Who do you do? Who do you do? Who do you do? Who do you do? Who do you do?
Who do you do? Who do you do? Who do you do? Who do you do? Who do you do?
Who do you do? I lie down a lot, because we need that. Jordan Canada salute, neighborhood Canada, but she's hurt a lot sometimes. You know what I mean? Yeah.
And that would be a great one to punch. What about two Trista, what's your delusional Lulu right now? No limits. Portland, getting Jackie Young.
Oh.
That's fun. I would like that. That's fun. That's fun. That's fun.
Especially think about this, right now, the aces have three players making Max money. Yeah. They got Jewel, they got Jackie, they got Asia.
I know that the salary caps almost 7 million in now, y'all.
“But are you going to pay, like, I think this is going to change.”
You're going to pay Jewel that? Yeah, I think this is going to change how owners pay super max money, who those players are. 'Cause that's like, you can't pay three players, $1.4 million and have and feel the team. Unless you want significant look over the shoulder side eyes from the rest of the squad.
Like, mm-hmm. I can't get my winner. I don't get a little bit of a clippers. You don't want to ask a rich money going on. We're going to see that.
But okay, so that means that those three are not staying together. And you can't be a six man, make a 1.4 mil. Like, that's just not happening. I don't think. Here's a question I have.
The expansion draft is the main thing I have. My own mainly because, like, I'm from Portland, I, that will be very fun to me. But also, you know, okay. So the way that the expansion draft worked last year was you protect five or six players. And then everyone else is fair game.
But if everyone's like, when does, when do the free action draft is before the free agents? So I'm not sure how that works. And no one explains this. The following move on though.
I'm a, I'm gonna give a real window, a real, is that a being like two deloginal. Uh, Sabrina, you're in a school. You are now in an and a dream. Let's move on. I want to put that.
Sabrina, you're in a school. Now a golden state, Valkyrie. Oh, that's too much money. That's too much money. I like that.
Matter of fact, injuries, you are now in an and a dream. It's March right now. You got to know, Trista, what you got for this March, Matt, and this stuff, prepare for us. Well, I'll tell you as soon as we come back from break. Welcome back to Good Follow.
Today's episode is presented by Drap Kings where the crown is always yours.
It's now time for the Drap Kings, pick of the week, presented by guests who Drap Kings. We got this week, man. We got to go Vanderbilt and High Point. I cannot wait for this matchup. High points kind of a little bit of a sneaky team on both sides, men's and women's, but
I've got Vanderbilt winning. I have Aubrey Galvin. I have Michaela Blake's on Vander. And then in terms of high point, you got to watch out for Macy Spencer, 18 points per game for her.
This statement is presented by Drap Kings. Drap Kings. The crown is yours. Now, March madness is here. First up, let's see who we think is going to be this year's Cinderella.
“It is a glass lip or I think Oklahoma, I don't, I don't necessarily, I'm a little bit”
vengeful feel. I've got a little bit of a heater in my heart for Oklahoma because Reagan beer's left Oregon State. Famously wait. Can you see this?
But I do wish you so good and I think Oklahoma. Yeah. So look to the beavers. I have to the beavers, man. Always.
For me, this year's Cinderella is Duke. I don't even know if you can consider that. Right. A Cinderella, but they've got a very hard path. They're going to have to be LSU in their way or their journey to try and take on UCLA.
But this is a team.
To me, that matchup is probably the most exciting on the horizon for me because first and foremost
drama, right? The drama is Flagey was in Team USA this summer, wasn't getting any run, apparently declined her confidence and Carol Austin was like, "You just weren't as good as everybody else." And then LSU saw them in the regular season and it became this huge story line. She's yapping to Cara, Cara's role in their eyes, Duke got absolutely destroyed and then
Duke found their identity. They rattled up with 16, 17 wins in a row, they win the ACC tournament. And now they've found, okay, we go inside the Toby Forty-eight, we shoot time late threes, we play a very specific style, a very disciplined basketball, and LSU's very talented.
But what we know they are not, as Kim Wokey would say, sometimes they play "Rack Ball"
“is "My Ball" is "I So" and when you play "My Ball"?”
So when you play a very disciplined, well-coached team like Duke who's rolling, it has
The potential to be very spicy, and so I'm going to take Duke in that one.
I'll say it, I'm ready for all the big dogs to, and I know it's not happening because
“that's not how a women basketball works, but like LSU South Carolina, Yukon, it's enough,”
you know?
Sorry, someone has to hate those, someone's got to be a hater, and always be the hater,
yeah, sorry, I don't hate them, but I will be a hater, to be clear. Although, shout out to Tessa Johnson on South Carolina, I did me to say that earlier, okay, anyway. I don't try to save it now, and it's not, I see hope you lose Tessa. Are there any teams you think will meet the moment this year and surprise fans, Ash, and
we'll go with you first? I want so badly for that to be a possibility, but I just, I think we're going to see zero upsets, I don't think anyone's going to upset. I know people are saying South Dakota State, and I guess I'll be along with the right because I would die for an upset, but I don't feel it in my bones, you know what I mean?
I love me, so I'm going to leave you my eyes, man, through hooper, baller, gamer, whatever skips you to call the brun, not being, she is at the same time, Tessa, you will lose to you see San Diego, take it to the bank, and this is why, because I say it right now. I think the one, the one upset that I can see happening is Oklahoma over South Carolina, because we already saw it, don't even tempt me with that, anyway, I think Oklahoma could
get the upset, although I think South Carolina is peaking right now.
Well, let's move on to the most important category in the world, and we're going to ask
to ask, man, who do you got winning the entire Shaboozi with the cowboy boots? You con, you con, you con, and I'm ready for someone else, but I mean, actually, honestly, the other option is South Carolina, I would pull for you, because South Carolina has been pissing me off. I've, today, I have turned into South Carolina's number one hater, and I didn't even know
“this was within me, but it's my truth, and that's why I'm now.”
Got a letter for you, I got to come out, I actually got to feel it, whatever you feel you got to just say. Yeah, yeah, I just, I can't stand, I can't stand a good team, I'm sorry, it's in my blood to only engage with and root for teams that just don't have the juice, and I can't stand when a program does for multiple years too.
You already know who I got winning the whole day, the whole Shaboozi with the cowboy hat. I got South Carolina salute to the game. You don't know, you actually think that's true. Yes, I do think that's true, because I put the Shaboozi hat on it. Did you not see, I just put the Shaboozi cowboy hat on it?
I just, look, I just took the Shaboozi hat from you, you no longer have the Shaboozi hat. Are you right? You hit me with my own move, Dammit. I still choose the cocks, though, because I believe in Don.
Listen, I don't care who you believe in. On this team, this U-Con team might be end up the greatest U-Con team ever. And I got it. Okay, Bismarck. Listen, listen, hold up, and I know that my amoreers, the Brianna's story ears, the
DT and Sue ears, there's going to be a lot, but it's hard to compete with, like, it's hard, 34 and over, it's just 34 and now who's the best. I don't know, a lot of this team is back from last year. They want to win it, because they want to show page, hey, we don't need you.
“I think Sarah Strong could go down as the best player in college basketball history, and”
she's only a sophomore. She's going to win nascent player of the year. She's probably going to get the wooden award as well. This is, this is a girl who's the mini-yokedch. They've got AZFUD who's probably to me, the number one pick in the draft.
She's the two-way player. She's on the cover of South by the way, doing pull-ups, make sure you check that out.
She looks incredible, playing incredible, and doesn't like that sloppy.
You know what I'm saying? Show has been magnificent, because we had our sister join us today. Thank you so much for joining us, sis, any last words before we get out of here? What do you want to promote? Who do you want to cut out?
What's a hater? You want to be like, you know what hater? I'll see you over there. Yeah. I have a couple of things.
Number one, subscribe to the awful newsletter because I write it, and it's fun. Number two, if you're a billionaire listening to this, I want you to be alert by the fact that you could pour in $20 million to a small team and build someone else up from scratch. And we wouldn't have to only have you kind of South Carolina and LSU anymore. Like, imagine what the world would look like.
That could be your thing, Mr. Billionaire. This could be all yours. You get all the credit. We would be around to you. It'd be so fun.
Bye. Yeah. See? Remesare an adieu. And that's going to do it for this week's episode of Kufalo.
Make sure you subscribe to Kufalo's YouTube page. And all of it's socials and good follow show. You can catch new episodes of Kufalo every Thursday on YouTube where we get your podcast.
Good follow.
It's presented to you by Krap King's.
We'll see you next week.
“But what I want to do today is not to get a lot of students.”
Mr. Billionaire, you can do it for sure.
Yeah, you can do it for sure. But you can't do it for sure. Exactly. It's just a challenge. Do it for sure.
Do it for sure.
“And if you do it for sure, you can do it for sure.”
That's right. Safe. What do you do for sure?
Yes, you can do it for sure.
Now we're going out. We're going out.
