The latest revelation in the Connecticut Sun sale saga is not only a bad look for the WNBA; it’s bad business.

The league — with the apparent guidance of its NBA puppet masters — seeks to manipulate the market by trying to dictate to whom the Mohegan Tribe sells the Sun.

Based on the latest twist of this story Tuesday, it seems like the WNBA is handing a bad deal to Sun ownership.

The Mohegan Tribe stepped up when others — ahem, NBA owners — didn’t. The tribe became the league’s first non-NBA ownership group when it bought the Orlando Miracle in 2003 and relocated the team to Uncasville, Conn. In the two-plus decades since, the Sun have become a part of the New England sports landscape.
