Build a Dream Dynasty

Days passed by, and before we knew it, time entered October. Labor and management are still arguing deeply, and it has been too long to reach an agreement. The lockout has affected the start of the new season. Many players are starting to panic, worried that the NBA will really end here, and many players have begun to sign contracts with overseas leagues to play. On the one hand, in order to leave a way for himself, on the other hand, he also wants to maintain his competitive state in other professional arenas.

JR Smith signed with Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank, and has always had the evaluation of "JR is not nervous, 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 with CB may be more destructive than Smith. After all, in sports, the physical gap is the most irreparable. Veteran Kenyon Martin signed with XJ Guanghui, and worked hard for the first championship in team history 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 gave He offered a sky-high contract.

The eyes of local rich teams are all aimed at these powerful famous players. Teams with weaker economic strength also seized this opportunity, raised their budgets, and planned to introduce some foreign players who did not look so strong but were more in line with tactical thinking. Many domestic teams are chasing him. For him, Yao Ming's ultimate goal is naturalization, while the goal of other CBA bosses is to use his popularity to expand his influence.

A higher salary and more lucrative 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, broker commission, hand over to the union, and the league to keep it), and it is also enough to shake the Jeremy Lin had a firm mind. Facing the contract handed over by the CBA Fujian SBS, Jeremy Lin put forward his own request. Once the NBA starts, the CBA team must immediately release him to return to the NBA.

Fujian SBS, eager to use Jeremy Lin to stir up the market, agreed to Jeremy Lin's conditions, but in the end, it failed. The reason is Kobe. The contract between Kobe and the Shanxi team also strictly included this clause, and it was even more stringent. Kobe has the right to terminate the contract at any time. This time, the CBA officials did not agree, and issued an announcement expressly stipulating that all foreign players who sign a contract to play in the CBA must play for at least one season, and must not break the contract without reason.

If Jeremy Lin was such a "little character", the officials could still turn a blind eye, but signing this kind of contract with Kobe would be too embarrassing to the CBA, and the officials were naturally unwilling to accept it.

Immediately, Jeremy Lin's plan to go to the CBA was stillborn, and Jeremy Lin was still wiser. Although the season has entered a suspension state and cannot be resumed in a short period of time, once the rematch, the schedule is tight after all, and back-to-back is the norm. The team will definitely strengthen the rotation of the lineup. It is difficult for me to increase my playing time. The best opportunity 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 this does not include Yi Jianlian. Although this regulation issued by the CBA was intended to restrict NBA players from making money in the CBA at will, it helped him objectively. He is not among the foreign players who can return to Guangdong Hongyuan to play in the CBA, and he is not restricted by foreign players not being allowed to leave midway. Once the NBA kicks off, he can go to the United States immediately to look for opportunities, advance and attack, retreat and defend, and by the way, the CBA will also help. This is to lock players like Kenyon Martin so that he can find a contract in the NBA.

Under such circumstances, 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 a high price. The general managers of other teams are not fools either!

Jiang Mingliang is inconvenient to comment on 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 miss each other, there will be no shortage of suitable insiders in the league to replace him.

Throughout October, the nba league has been in a tense atmosphere. The negotiations between the labor and management have been unable to reach a consensus. When the time entered November, something more serious happened.

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

However, under the circumstances that the two sides are a community of interests, the negotiation is just a game, definitely not a war. Once the news of the irreconcilable contradictions came out, the bosses, who were used to seeing big turmoil, were always a little flustered. After all, they were able to stabilize their emotions and unanimously communicated to the outside world. The players were different.

Most NBA athletes have not received high-end education. In terms of mentality, he can't compete with the group of businessmen on the opposite side. And on the other hand, in fact, the relatively difficult James and Paul are no longer in the same class as 90% of the players in the league. They make decisions on behalf of Labor and cannot represent everyone's aspirations .

Three days later, some players accepted an anonymous telephone interview and shouted "Bring the NBA back!" Further shaken the unity within the players union. In the outside world, more and more voices are putting pressure on the union management formed by Fisher, James and Paul.

On November 26, after 15 hours of negotiations, the labor and management finally announced that they had reached an agreement, ending the long lockout that lasted 149 days. The final result of this labor negotiation ended with a complete victory for the management. First of all, the core part of the dispute between the two sides is the BRI share. BRI refers to the total operating income of the NBA, including various tickets, NBA official advertisements, and the money earned by each team. It was originally stipulated that players should account for 57% of the bri. Now it is reduced to the standard of 50% fluctuation. In the absence of a significant increase in the total income of the nba, the wages of the players will have a relatively obvious overall decline.

The second is the salary cap\\luxury tax. There are two lines for the salary of the nba: the salary cap is the first line, and if it exceeds it, it will be subject to certain restrictions on signing free agents; the luxury tax is the second line. Free agent restrictions, and fines will be paid. It turns out that how much is exceeded. This article is essentially aimed at the owners of big teams rather than players. Teams like the Mavericks, Knicks or Lakers will pay a higher price than in the past when they want to build a luxury team. A more reasonable ecosystem is beneficial to small teams. Survive. However, because the wool comes from the sheep, big bosses like the Mavericks and the Knicks who give money all over the world no longer use silver bullets to recruit players presumptuously. All-star players, especially quasi-all-star players, get super big contracts like now The probability will become smaller and smaller.

The third is the change of various terms and special cases of signing free agents. The overall trend of change is to make the team more flexible in signing players, but the players get a part of the money 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, The buyout bonus is 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 deals with this player and the original team. It means that the two teams discuss the proportion of sharing the player's contract, and if they can reach an agreement, the transaction will be successful. If the player is a completely free agent after the amnesty is completed, then 30 teams will grab it together in accordance with the free agent regulations.

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

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