Caitlin Clark is going to increase WNBA revenue enough to improve rookie salaries

The WNBA draft, the all the rookie wages getting tweeted out and everyone's like, what the fuck? It's like, well, this is what Caitlin Clark might be able to fix. She might be able to improve things a little bit.

The WNBA's new CBA proposal (March 2026) dramatically increases rookie salaries from ~$76K to much higher figures, with the salary cap jumping from $1.5M to $5.75M and average salaries rising from $120K to $540K. Caitlin Clark's revenue impact directly accelerated these negotiations, proving PFT's prediction correct.

The Pelicans would have beaten the Lakers if Zion Williamson had stayed in the game

I think the Pelicans win that game if Zion stays in the game. They had, Brandon Ingram wasn't good... and Zion was like, I'm putting the whole team on my back. And he almost beat the Lakers by himself.

The game was tied 95-95 with 3:13 left when Zion exited; the Lakers eventually won 110-106. While unprovable, it is a widely held 'what if'.

The Lakers are going to beat the Nuggets in their playoff series

I think they could beat the Nuggets... Championship experience, you know... [They've] got the best players of all time. Anthony Davis, All-Stars, All-NBA players. Why not?

The Nuggets defeated the Lakers 4-1 in the first round of the 2024 playoffs.

The Sacramento Kings have no chance against the Oklahoma City Thunder if they match up in the playoffs

I don't think that they [the Kings] have a chance against the Thunder, but I want them to be good.

The Kings were eliminated in the play-in tournament by the Pelicans, so they never faced the Thunder in the playoffs.

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

Mahomes will be back to himself by season's end

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
