The 2024 WNBA regular season is over, and while the playoffs are underway, it’s also time to turn our attention to how teams should approach the offseason.
A lot of answers are still to come. The league has yet to announce a date for the draft lottery, which was held in December last year. And in addition to April’s WNBA draft, the league will hold an expansion draft as the Golden State Valkyries join the league ahead of the 2025 season. Per league sources, it will take place before the January start of free agency, but the WNBA has yet to announce a date or rules for the Golden State expansion draft.
The Los Angeles Sparks, one of four teams that didn’t reach the playoffs this season, have the best odds for the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, at 44.2%.
In the meantime, we’re breaking down potential moves for each eliminated WNBA franchise, including a look at the state of each roster, team needs and priorities for each front office.
