Today the WNBA announced the solution for next year's Olympic problem.

The league will still play 34 games, will still have 8 playoff teams, and all playoff series will still be 2-of-3.

To accomodate the Olympics, the league will shut down for August. They'll then finish up a month late, in the middle of October.

That will put us in conflict with baseball playoffs, so it's not an ideal situation, but I think it's the best thing possible under the circumstances.
