No chance that this phrase will ever be one of the WNBA's season slogans, but it does convey the truth that it's a high-talent league.

It is both a play on the inaugural "We got next" and a less-grandiose expression of the current "Expect Great."

Here's how it would go. The WNBA commercial would show a montage of stellar passing, ball handling, shooting, rebounding and shot blocking with pulse-racing music … then conclude with a group shot of the participants looking into the camera and saying:

"We got cut."
