Kate Martin heading to Golden State

[Scott559]

Going to cost Kate megabucks. Cost of living in San Fran is WAY more than Vegas.

I believe they get a housing stipend.

I thought part of the contract was an appart.ment for the season?

There were a few moments where they had her sprint the court like Stuelke. Was hoping to see more of that.

Maybe they'll draft Hannah

I have a deposit down for Valkyries season tickets and work a couple of blocks from Chase Center. Let's go!

That'll be the best $12 you ever spent.

Tell me you don't know the bay area without telling me you don't know the bay area. Lolll

Other than Kate and Fagbenle, not super familiar with the rest of the team, but it'll be Kate's opportunity to shine!

Temi as well

I thought she looked really good before she got hurt, then she never seemed to play the same

Valkyries reddit is glowing about picking up Kate Martin. Consensus big pickup.

I think it is because so many fans followed cc and Kate over the years/ and from all over the country

I take it Smith is still with Indiana

Veronica Burton (Northwestern) deserves much of the credit for the only game in Clark's collegiate career that she didn't score in double figures.

As are state and local taxes.

Big difference in cost of living ... but San Fran is a nicer area in almost every other category (hence why it's so expensive to live there).

Pro tip. No locals call it San Fran

Welp, that apparently didn't help Angel Reece after her tirade about spending $8K a month for her apartment.

I lived in Santa Barbara ... not the Bay area ... so I'm no local. Thanks for the pro-tip though.

I have a cousin who lives on a teak sailboat in Sausalito though ... and an uncle (in-law) who lives up near Novato.

Looks like Kate Martin signed an endorsement deal with a classic and iconic Bay Area brand:

What do they call it?

Franny? On a serious note, I have never heard anything but Frisco.

I wonder what the valkyries players will get for housing/monthly stipend. Chicago players received over 1900/month last year.

 

[SCHawkFan]

This is the expense policy published before last season.

https://wnbpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Article-XI-Player-Related-Expenses.pdf

The housing subsidy for those not living in team-provided apartments ranged from $1148/mo in Las Vegas to $2583/mo in NYC.

I am guessing the subsidy for San Francisco will be similar to NY.

Of course, all players can live in apartments provided by the team.
