Build a Dream Dynasty

The days passed by, and before you knew it, the time entered the month of October. The labor and management are still arguing and cannot reach an agreement for a long time. The lockout has affected the start of the new season. Many players are beginning to panic, worrying that the NBA will really come to an end. Many players have begun to sign contracts with overseas leagues to play. On the one hand, in order to leave a way out for himself, on the other hand, he also wants to maintain his competitive state in other professional arenas.

JR Smith signed a contract with Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank. He has always been a super sixth man with the evaluation of "JR is not nervous, and is an all-star every year". Coming to the CBA is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow. His Nuggets teammate Wilson Chandler joined another Zhejiang team, Zhejiang Guangsha. In Jiang Mingliang's view, Chandler's signing of CB may be more destructive than Smith's. After all, in sports, physical disparities are the most irreparable. Veteran Kenyon Martin signed with Xinjiang Guanghui, and worked hard for the first championship in team history together with Quincy Dolby, who was hit by dimensionality reduction in the CBA last season. There are even rumors that Kobe will consider playing in the CBA. Shanxi Coal Boss He offered a sky-high contract.

The local tyrants have their sights set on these powerful players, and the economically weaker teams also seized this opportunity, increased their budgets, and planned to bring in some foreign aids that did not seem so strong but were more in line with tactical ideas. For him, Yao Ming's ultimate goal is naturalization, and the goal of other CBA bosses is to expand his influence through his popularity.

A higher salary and more generous conditions are placed in front of Jeremy Lin, which is enough to change Jeremy Lin's current tepid economic situation (annual salary of 1 million, tax payment, brokerage commission, handed over to the union, and the alliance for custody), and it is also enough to shake Jeremy Lin had a firm mind. In the face of the contract handed over by CBA Fujian SBS, Jeremy Lin put forward his own requirements. Once the NBA starts, the CBA team needs to release it immediately and let him return to the NBA.

Fujian SBS, eager to use Jeremy Lin to heat up the market, agreed to the conditions offered by Jeremy Lin, but in the end, it failed. The reason is Kobe. Kobe Bryant's contract with the Shanxi team also strictly included this clause, and it was even more harsh. Bryant had the right to terminate the contract at any time. This time, the CBA official did not agree, and issued an announcement expressly stipulating that any foreign aid who signs a contract to play in the CBA must play for at least one season, and must not break the contract without any reason in the middle.

If it is true that Jeremy Lin is a "little character", the official can turn a blind eye, but signing this kind of contract with Kobe would be too humiliating for the CBA, and the official is naturally unwilling to accept it.

Immediately, Jeremy Lin's plan to go to the CBA was aborted, and Jeremy Lin was more sensible. Although the season has entered a state of suspension and cannot be resumed in a short period of time, once the game resumes, the schedule will be tight after all, and back-to-back is the norm. The team will definitely strengthen the rotation of the lineup. It is difficult not to increase your playing time. The best chance to be in the top position is missed in vain, and there may not be a second time in the entire career.

The latest regulations issued by the CBA have caused many players to retreat, but Yi Jianlian is not among them. This regulation issued by the CBA, although the original intention is to restrict NBA players from making money in the CBA at will, but it objectively helped him. Not included in the list of foreign aid, he can return to Guangdong Hongyuan to play the CBA, and he is not restricted by foreign aid not leaving halfway. Once the NBA starts, he can immediately go to the United States to look for opportunities to attack and defend, and by the way, CBA also helps. In order to lock up players like Kenyon Martin, it is convenient for him to find contracts in the NBA.

In this case, his agent Danny Fagan started to jump again. However, Jiang Mingliang, a Chinese general manager who is dedicated to developing the Chinese market, is not willing to pay high prices, and general managers of other teams are not fools!

It is not convenient for Jiang Mingliang to evaluate whether Danny Fagan is a qualified agent, but his partner with Yi Jianlian will ruin Yi Jianlian's NBA career, which Jiang Mingliang is very sure of. I feel that I have done all the work that can be done. If I really miss each other, there is no shortage of suitable insiders in the league to replace him.

Throughout October, the NBA League has been in a tense atmosphere. The negotiation between labor and management failed to reach a consensus. When the time entered November, more serious things happened.

On November 15, 2011, the NBA player representatives and the trade union executive committee jointly decided to reject the management's new proposal, and the labor-management negotiations officially broke down.

However, when both parties are a community of interests, the negotiation is just a game, not a war. Once the news of irreconcilable contradictions came out, the bosses who were used to seeing strong winds and waves were always a little flustered. After all, they were able to stabilize their emotions and agreed to the outside world. The players were different.

Most NBA athletes have not received high-end education. In terms of mentality, I can't play against this group of businessmen. And on the other hand, in fact, the relatively difficult James and Pauls are no longer in the same class as 90% of the players in the league. It is up to them to make decisions on behalf of labor, not everyone’s voice. .

Three days later, a player anonymously accepted a telephone interview and shouted a declaration of "Let the NBA come back!". Further shaken the unity within the players union. In the outside world, more and more voices are putting pressure on the management of the union composed of Fisher, James and Paul.

On November 26, the labor and management parties finally announced an agreement after 15 hours of negotiations, ending the 149-day long shutdown. The final result of this labor-management negotiation ended in a great victory for the management. The first is the core part of the dispute between the two sides. BRI is divided. BRI refers to the total operating income of the NBA, including various tickets, official NBA advertisements, and the money earned by each team. The original regulation was that players should account for 57% of bri. Now down to the standard of floating around 50%, under the circumstance that there is no significant increase in the total revenue of the NBA, the wages of players will have a relatively obvious overall decline.

The second is the salary cap\luxury tax. There are two lines for the NBA salary: the salary cap is the first line, after which it will be subject to certain restrictions on signing free agents; the luxury tax is the second line, after it is exceeded, not only will it be subject to signing The free agent limit will also pay a fine, which is how much it exceeds the original amount. UU reading www.uukanshu.com This article is essentially aimed at the owners of big teams rather than players. Teams like the Mavericks, Knicks or the Lakers will pay a higher price than in the past when they want to form a luxury team, which is more reasonable. Ecosystems are good for small teams to survive. However, because the wool comes from the sheep, when the big bosses like the Mavericks and the Knicks give money away, they no longer want to use silver bullets to recruit players. The probability will become smaller and smaller.

The third is the various terms and conditions for signing free agents, and the change in special cases. The overall trend is to make the team's signing of players more flexible, but the players get a portion of the money less than before.

The fourth is the amnesty clause. Before each season, the team can amnesty a player. Unlike the original buyout rule, the amnesty player will have nothing to do with the team’s salary cap. After the buyout, Buyout payments are included in the salary cap.

For players in the amnesty (that is, the whole process of amnesty has not been completed), other teams whose total salary is below the salary cap can directly negotiate with the player and the original team. That is, the two teams discuss the proportion of the player's contract to be shared. If the agreement is reached, the transaction will be successful. If the amnesty is completed, the player is a complete free agent, that is, 30 teams will grab it according to the regulations of free agency.

The league's president, David Stern, held a press conference to officially announce to the outside world that the lockout, which began on July 1, has officially ended. Stern said this will be his last deal in office. "It's a fair collective bargaining agreement," Stern said, "and it will be my last collective bargaining agreement because it's a 10-year agreement."

David Stern's speech also officially announced that the new NBA season is about to start!
