Chapter 698: 【End of lockout, start of trading】

In mid-September, the NBA labor negotiations once again collapsed, and many bosses tried to implement a hard salary cap.
A hard salary cap, as the name implies, is a salary cap that cannot be exceeded. Even if you have money, you can't spend it. Everyone competes fairly.
From the perspective of fans and bosses, the introduction of hard salary caps is good for nba. If the salaries of the teams are the same, there will be no Lakers f4, Cavaliers, Celtics three giants team, which can greatly enhance the competitiveness and make the game more exciting, the small city team also has the hope of winning the championship.
Many people think that the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s looks better, because at that time there were at most two stars in a team, and one more star boss would not be able to make money. The only exception is probably the Bulls, because Pippen is a good one without money. Comrade.
Now, the strong and weak division in the league is too strong. How can a weak team with a total salary of 50 million hit a giant with a total salary of more than 100 million? At least two stars are missing from the team, or there is a huge gap between the substitutes and the role players.
The rugby nfl league has implemented a hard salary cap system, narrowing the gap between the teams. nfl is also the most popular league in the United States, and the Super Bowl is as grand as the festival every year.
NBA now adopts the luxury tax collection system, which does form a certain restriction on the rich team, but if the boss is rich and has no fear of spending money, this system is a dead letter. Like the Russian boss of the Nets, spending 200 million is not a serious matter at all, and does not have to stay and pay taxes?
In nfl, you can't spend money to buy a Super Bowl, but in nba, it is possible to spend money to buy a champion.
No matter what the boss or the fans think, no nba player is willing to reduce the salary. The chairman of the player union Derek Fisher strongly said that he would rather not sign a hard salary cap.
Fisher has a calm face and a rational bargaining voice. He speaks like an official spokesman.
"We will not agree, nor will there be internal disagreements like the team boss, which can be seen from the clothing of the players union members. We are together, we are united, there is no disagreement, everyone has reported many times , We want to continue to reiterate this."
The union members printed a special t-shirt with a silhouette of several basketball players on the chest. In front of the silhouette, the huge "stand" was written in yellow bold letters! (It can be understood as "can bear"!)
When the reporter asked whether the bosses would unite and sacrifice a season in exchange for the implementation of the hard salary cap policy, Fisher gave a very domineering answer. "No, it's totally impossible. There are 30 bosses in 30 teams. In my opinion, fewer than half of the bosses have similar ideas."
Not only is it less than half, no boss is willing to sacrifice a season, no matter how much the players lose money, they will not lose much more than they. And really want to shut down for a season, David Stern did not agree, when the fans are afraid that they will run out, everyone no longer have to play.
At the beginning of October, a new round of negotiations broke down again, and the two sides made some progress, but there is still a long way to go. The players have agreed to reduce the share of basketball-related revenue to 53, but the player union has been told that such concessions still cannot make up for differences between the two sides.
To put it bluntly, the difference between the two sides is money, which is no different from the 1998 shutdown.
NBA officially announced that it will cancel the training camp and preseason in October, and the two weeks before November will also be cancelled.
On the Internet, the fans scolded, and had a violent temper directly vowed not to pay attention to nba anymore.
Yang Rui did not show up from beginning to end, did not participate in the negotiations, and took a rest in Los Angeles on vacation. The advantage of this is that almost no one knows that he is the "capital" holding 30 Clippers shares, and the players will not resent him.
Yang Rui doesn't care how much money he misses by stopping the Clippers, and now lets Donald Sterling stand in front. Sterling lives up to expectations and is one of the toughest and most active bosses.
As in the previous life, many nba players without a contract have gone to the Chinese cba to play, including several big names, jr smith, Kenyon Martin, Wilson Chandler and so on.
Yi Jianlian joined the Guangdong team and attracted many fans. Unfortunately, Yao Ming did not play on behalf of the Shanghai team. He was reimbursed for serious injuries last season, making him more aware of the importance of rest and unwilling to play in low-level games. He has already won the regular season mvp, no matter what data is played in cba, he will not make him feel a sense of accomplishment.
History and Yang Rui's previous life have changed a lot. At this time, if there is no butterfly effect, Yao Ming should become the boss of the Shanghai team. Now he is not interested in buying the Shanghai team. The newly signed contract will not expire until 16 years. Even if he wants to buy in the future, he will also buy the nba team.
Yao Ming's top salary contract plus advertising costs is an amazing number, and now he is one of the top five players in NBA commercial value.
The management of each team is not idle, and sends the most unknown people to contact free agents to discuss signing intentions, such as manager assistants, establish a little yellow man number, communicate with players online, how to check nba?
Relying on the signing loophole, many teams have negotiated the deal, but it has not been announced.
The league's "seven disapproval" is a verbal warning that management personnel and players can perfunctory without meeting. It is impossible for the Alliance to really check everyone’s online conversation records or phone records, because the cost is too high, even if Facebook can’t do it.
Until November 26, the employers and employees finally reached an agreement, ending the 149-day shutdown.
Stern announced that the new season will kick off on Christmas Day on December 25, and the free market and training camp will open on December 9.
The player finally accepted the 49-51 floating share plan. The management guarantees that under the premise of the ideal growth of nba income, the labor can get a share of 51 revenue. The 53 previously discussed is much lower.
Players are willing to make concessions because of the heavy losses, and the boss is no exception. The combined losses of both sides exceed $2 billion. There are 82 regular season games in a complete NBA season, and now there are only 66 games left. The direct economic loss of players is $5.3 billion.
Kobe is the player with the highest salary in the new season, with a total salary of 25.24 million US dollars. Because of the shrinking season, his salary loss reached 4.92 million US dollars. He has less money to play 12 games, enough for ordinary families to eat for a lifetime.
In order to make money, the league has arranged the most intensive schedule in history, each team must play 3 consecutive back-to-back, which will seriously reduce the player's physical strength, not only directly affect the quality of the game, but also increase the possibility of player injury.
December~EbookFREE.me~ The free market opened together, and the teams started to strengthen.
The Clippers left three players first. Novak joined the Knicks, Dunleavy joined the Bucks for 7.5 million in two years, and Shelton Williams joined the Nuggets.
It doesn't matter if the two are marginalized. The management wants Dunleavy to stay, but he refuses.
Deng Liwei wants to join a team that can play. He thinks he can still fight for a big contract, play a big role on the field, and he doesn't want to be a marginalist. If Dunleavy cut his salary to join the Clippers, he will be 33 years old two years later, and it is very difficult to get a high salary.
This is an external statement. The reason why Dunleavy really didn't want to stay in the Clippers was that he was reluctant to play the No. 4 position and was afraid of confrontation. The transformation proposed by Yang Rui asked him not to do it. It was uncomfortable to play last season.
The Knicks also renewed their contract with Greg Oden. The "Emperor" has had a high season attendance rate since entering the league and is still a blue-collar stat. The Knicks did not want to give up on this, and gave him a year, hoping that he would find it back.
The Knicks also signed point guard veteran Mike Bibby. At present, the Knicks lineup is not bad. Except for Stadammeer, there are no high-paid players. They have to make a big difference in the summer.
