Pay Day: WNBA Deal, NBA Expansion, Waddle to Denver & March Madness

Episode 28 of In My Defense is titled “Pay Day,” and this week, Canty and Que break down the biggest money moves and power plays across sports.First, they react to the WNBA’s landmark new labor agreement, a transformative deal that raises salaries, expands revenue sharing, and signals a major shift in the future of women’s basketball.Then they get into NBA expansion, with Seattle and Las Vegas moving closer to landing franchises, and what that could mean for the league’s future, talent pool, and business model.On the NFL side, the guys discuss why Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos could be a game-changing move, why the New York Giants are quietly winning the offseason, and what Kyler Murray joining the Vikings means for Minnesota’s future.They also break down Justin Fields to Kansas City, what he can learn behind Patrick Mahomes, and why the Chiefs may have found a smart developmental fit.Finally, the episode closes with March Madness, as Canty gives his Top 5 players to watch in the NCAA Tournament.
