Many industry insiders are questioning how threatening Project B might become to the established WNBA. While the league's schedule doesn't directly compete with the WNBA's, the new league's ability to attract top talent—offering unmatched salaries and possibilities for career longevity—could lead to some players choosing to bypass the WNBA season altogether.
WNBA players like Diana Taurasi have historically skipped seasons to rest or play abroad for lucrative contracts. With Project B now offering even larger paychecks, some players might prioritize the new league over their traditional commitments, especially if offseason negotiations with the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) reach an impasse.
