1. Need to have wage parity with the NBA

Both leagues are owned by the NBA. There is no excuse why NBA players make tens of millions while WNBA players make a small fraction of that. Both should be covered by the same bargaining agreement. Players like Curry, Embiid, and Jokic might have to figure out how to live on $25 million a year instead of $50 million. I'm sure they will manage somehow.

No one would accept a major mega corporation putting all its female employees into one division and paying them a pittance when they are doing the same job.
