Chapter 306: Salary negotiation started

The genius remembers the address of this site for a second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? After hearing Richard, the five newcomers relaxed.
"Okay, then you are ready to sign the rookie contract. The first round of the show is a standard contract. As for the second round of the show, you go to talk to Orch yourself. All are three-year guarantee contracts. As for how much you talk about Money, that's your own ability, I don't care here!" Richard said again.
The five nodded, especially the three second-round rookies, and a stone fell to their hearts.
They were originally worried that the Blazers would give a one-year non-guaranteed contract. If they didn't make a contract this year, if they want to find a job in the future, it will be difficult...
Now that the Blazers have directly given a three-year guarantee contract, the odds of playing out will increase exponentially.
...
On July 1, the wage negotiation between the player union and the NBA Management Committee was officially opened.
Although this salary negotiation was initiated in 1998, historically, this salary negotiation was called 1999 salary negotiation.
This salary negotiation has left a fairly heavy stroke in the history of NBA. It can be said to be the most serious one in the history of NBA!
Prior to this, the NBA also shut down three times, in 1964, 1976 and the year Richard passed through, in 1994...
However, these three lockouts did not affect the schedule of the NBA regular season. Each team eventually played all 82 games.
However, this 1999 lockout interfered with the normal progress of the regular season. Each team only played 50 games in the end, and played 32 fewer regular season games...
It was only in February of the following year that each team really started the regular season schedule!
According to the regulations, the NBA’s salary negotiations are conducted every 7 years. Considering the last 1994 salary negotiations, it is less than five years from now, and we know that the contradiction between the two parties has reached an irreconcilable point. .
Because of Garnett's sky-high price contract, Stern realized that the maximum salary regulations must be introduced as soon as possible, otherwise the NBA will be in crisis...
His proposition is to reduce player wages, introduce regulations on top pay, and raise the threshold for players to enter the NBA, that is, do not allow high school students to directly participate in the draft after graduation.
The chairman, especially because of the player union represented, was naturally unlikely to agree to this condition, and put forward their requirements to the management committee and the bosses.
They want to raise the salary cap of the team, the salary cap is increased, and naturally players can get more salary.
In addition to this, they are totally unacceptable with the introduction of the maximum salary regulations. In addition, they are also unacceptable for the age threshold...
Comparing the former player union president Isaiah Thomas's proposal, Ewing's proposal is supported by all players.
Ewing's claim is relatively smooth, taking care of ordinary players, those super giant players, and even those high school students, so he has received strong support from all players.
And Isaiah Thomas only takes care of the ideas of most ordinary players, those super giants do not buy his account...
It can be seen from the propositions of both parties that the needlepoint is completely against Maimang, and both sides are unwilling to give in, and the contradiction has reached an irreconcilable point!
At this juncture, Stern said in a classic interview, "The salary of NBA players is much higher than that of ordinary people and should not be asked for more."
These words directly aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the players and directly went on strike!
In this labor negotiation, in fact, both sides are right, but their positions are different...
The Alliance Management Committee and the bosses must be thinking about making money. It is natural for businessmen to pursue profits. These bosses are not charitable.
And the players naturally want to make more money, who has hatred for money? Why earn more? Why not earn more...
In this way, the two sides will not compromise.
Until the end of Christmas on the end of the year, Stern apparently reached the limit of patience. Let me talk directly. If I haven't talked about it before January 7 of the next year, just cancel this season!
In this case, the two sides finally sat on both sides of the negotiating table, after all, no one wants to cancel a season.
If the season is cancelled, the player will naturally lose one year's salary, which is a big loss for the players who eat youth, especially those marginal players. The ghost knows that they can play a few seasons in total, and take one less season. Salary, what a loss this is.
And the bosses naturally don't want to cancel the season. After all, the venue rental or maintenance, logistics salary, these are to spend money, if there is no income, they lose more.
In the end, both parties made a concession...
As for the age threshold of players, Stern withdrew and did not introduce this rule in this salary negotiation~EbookFREE.me~ Of course, people like Stern let him give up this idea completely, definitely not Realistically, after several years of salary negotiations, he successfully raised the age threshold and put an end to such things as high school students entering the league.
For the salary cap, Stern and the bosses also made concessions and raised some salary caps, but the range was not large, and it was an explanation for the player union.
It's just that raising the salary cap by about three million US dollars, compared to the more than 7 million increase in the 1994 wage negotiations, is definitely a trivial matter.
The thing about the maximum salary regulations is that the ball staff will give way, which is the bottom line of Stern and the bosses!
It is also the basis for Stern and the bosses to make concessions on the salary cap and age threshold. If the player union does not agree to the introduction of the maximum salary regulations, then Stern and the boss will definitely not make concessions on the salary cap and the age threshold.
Thinking over and over again, Ewing and other players union representatives agreed.
Ewing looked at his retirement, the top salary is not the top salary, and it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, the salary cap has been raised, and most players are satisfied with it, that is enough...
And after the wage negotiation, it is impossible to start the schedule the next day, because compared with the normal season, it is more than a month later than the start of the race, so the management committee must also meet to study and formulate a new schedule plan...
There are some details of the negotiations that need to be added.
In this way, the season didn't start until the beginning of February.
...
Richard feels that this is actually a good thing for their pioneers.
The main reason is that they have gotten too many newcomers this time. According to the start time of the normal season, the newcomers are estimated to be able to fight for the fight. Now that it is good, the season will not start until February. Richard can fully use this more than half a year. Polish the newcomers.
