WNBA contracts are weird. End of season contracts do not mean they stay until the end of the season. It just means they are not on a hardship contract, which have specific rules as to when a team can use them and for how long. The player has limited time on a team before a hardship contract runs out. End of season contracts are not necessarily guaranteed so the player can be waived at any time. There are rules that say someone's salary on that sort of contract must be paid for the rest of the year if they are on a team after a certain date I believe. If a team waived the player after that date they have that salary on the books against the salary cap. I hope I got all that right.
I have season tickets to Valkyries games. So far it has been a lot of fun. The atmosphere is very different from college games, much more like the NBA with constant music, a hype person to constantly get the crowd cheering, lots of flash, etc. Noisy but fun. The level of play is much better but the game is even more physical. Play is much faster. The players are more athletic. Chase Center is a nice place to watch games.
