Cuban has considered drafting Brittney Griner

Mikael I wasn't "calling him out", just correcting some incorrect heresay. (Where'd you get "its actually 70k" from btw?)

Salary cap: $913,000
Roster: 11
Average: $83,000

I know $83k ain't exactly LeBron money, but I thought it was worth making the distinction from $40k.
(Add to that the merit bonuses, the team-provided housing, medical/dental, meal allowances, etc. and the package is worth a good amount more)

"I read somewhere the average WNBA wage is around $40,000"
You read wrong. It's more like double that amount. WNBA salary cap is pretty close to the NBL's, the main difference being that in the WNBA 12/12 teams comply as opposed to our 7/8.

"Some owners must be cleaning up, regularly getting 10,000 attendance in big market teams and only paying chicken feed"
Only one team (LA) gets 10,000 in officially published "attendance" and the number is significantly lower if you look at reality and count actual people at games or tickets actually paid for. No owners are cleaning up. The majority are running at a loss. There's not much money in ticket revenue, and there's not much in sponsorship either.

"I'm sorry and its not being sexist but there will never be a female in the NBA"
That part is hard to disagree with. If we're talking front court players I agree with you 100%. If we're talking guards I agree with you 99.99%

"Mark Cuban mentions drafting Brittney Griner because 'hey everybody, let’s look at Mark Cuban!’"
That's all it boils down to. It's ridiculous.
