We intended the offer to remain private while Caitlin Clark plays for the championship. But I won’t deny what’s now already out there: BIG3 made a historic
offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3.

Even if she only played a year or two in the BIG3 she would be the #1 pick in the WNBA draft or to an overseas league when she decided to put her name in the hat. That 1 or 2 yr deal would probably be more than she could make in 5-10 in the WNBA.

She would get embarrassed on the court, but be rich.

I'm assuming she would make more than that in endorsements for at least the first 5 years or so. I would guess 230-250k in salary and another 250-300k in endorsements. If not some huge number for a signature shoe from one of the big 3 shoe brands.

Agreed, but you would think even if it was just a year the step down to the WNBA from the BIG3 from a speed and athleticism standpoint would have her more than well prepared to take that league over.

That’s why many also play overseas (see Griner in Russia)

5 mil is more than most WNBA team’s payrolls. Might be a little less than the salary cap.

So she would only have to play 20 seasons in the WNBA to make that much

Ehhhh I don’t think so. In a 3 on 3 game she could hang with those washed up pros.

All she’s gotta do is roam the perimeter and catch and shoot, attack and kick every now and then to keep them honest. Ain’t like anyone’s playing D in that league anyway so she could just guard the perimeter on defense

The Salary Cap for the 23-24 season was just over 1.4MM.

One half of a 3 on 3 game and she'd equal her WNBA earnings for the year

If it was real. She will get destroyed by a 50 year old ex NBA play. She has no chance to defend them. I am not taking away her skills, she is good for a female but not an equal match.

But every one of those ex-NBA players will put her on the block and abuse her. It will be a massacre for her defensively.

Brilliant PR move by Ice Cube, though. I’ll watch.
