Nba: Body Of Steel, Reshape The Glory Of The Green Army

Chapter 257 Turning the hand for the cloud! Restart the alliance!

In the next few days, the negotiations still did not restart, but the resistance and disgust of the fans and spectators about the team owner had reached its peak.

Especially New York, New York is the home base of MSG, where the most people watch their programs, and it has one of the best ball markets in the league. Therefore, after Aaron Bryant was eliminated, New York fans actually organized a spontaneous game. procession.

Nearly 10,000 people participated in this parade called "Give Dreams a Chance". They walked all the way from the New York City Government to Madison Square, and finally marched all the way to the MSG headquarters building, where they shouted downstairs.

"Resume NBA season! Give players a chance!

"James Dolan! Give Aaron Brooks a chance!"

"End the lockout! For the fans!"

This parade lasted for three full days, and the next two days were directly omitted from the parade, and they gathered directly under the MSG headquarters building and kept squatting.

The tireless Dolan can only play in person, and solemnly tell everyone that he will do his best to promote the league's return to the season with all his heart!

After the parade in New York City achieved success, more than 10 parades were held in 31 major cities in the United States. In addition to New York, the parades in Los Angeles, Washington, Houston, Detroit, Boston and other places were also huge and achieved great success. Nice feedback.

After a week, even David Stern finally couldn't stand the pressure from all sides and promised that the negotiation would be restarted within a week! In this negotiation, both employers and employees will make every effort to resolve this negotiation with great sincerity and trust. question.

On August 20th, in the building of the league headquarters, representatives of the team owners and Stern gathered here again for their last combat meeting, and tomorrow night, they will once again negotiate with Lin Long and Hunter. .

Stern may be the person who does not want the entire league to shut down, and the blow to him will be huge and devastating! For this league, Stern is one of the few employers who has devoted all his efforts to the league and worked hard to hope for the league. It's getting better and better, not just as a money-making tool.

Therefore, Stern's heart is 100% praised for Lin Long's performance and actions. He promoted the restart of the negotiation in the way that did not hurt the feelings of both parties, and also gave a sincere agreement.

Seeing the different expressions of several bosses, all of whom were silent, Stern knew that he needed to speak by himself.

"Everyone, I don't think anyone wants the league to shut down. I don't think there is a big problem with the agreement and details provided by the labor force. I hope that this is the core, and everyone can state their bottom line, and then we will reach an agreement as soon as possible! After all, the season starts every night and day, the more damage it costs us! I've heard that several businesses have been seriously negatively affected by this massive parade.

Dr. Jerry Buss is the only person in the entire league who regards the team as the main business, he nodded and said: "Yes, this 50/50 income ratio agreement, I think it is completely acceptable! Important! It's about keeping the league going, a long hiatus, and we don't do any good.

"Your Los Angeles family has a big business and never loses money, but our small teams are losing money every season, and we don't see any chance to turn losses into profits. I absolutely agree with this plan.

Immediately, a group of small city bosses shook their heads in protest.

After all, last year, 14 of the 29 teams in the league were in a state of loss. It is no wonder that these owners refused to continue to increase investment and only wanted to reduce expenses.

Seeing everyone arguing, Dolan raised his hand and said, "I have a solution, why don't you guys listen?"

This second-generation ancestor has never been very popular.

The cooperation with Lin Long this time has forced all the bosses into a very embarrassing situation, so even if he owns a super team with the top three market value like the Knicks, he is not welcome at all.

Seeing that he was about to speak, Hornets owner Allen immediately interrupted: "Come on, it's fine for a young master like you to lie in a woman's den and smoke marijuana. You don't care about adult affairs. And I don't think you have any more. Eligibility for the conference here requires our vote. Who the hell knows if you have any deal with those players!

"Shut up old man, how did you get so much money as an idiot like you?

Dolan has always been fearless, and naturally he will not give others any face, and directly replied:

"My proposal is for the sake of your unprofitable loss-making teams. You can get hundreds of millions of subsidies a year. Now, do you still want to listen?"

Dolan's words caught all the bosses for a moment. Hundreds of millions a year, or per person? Even a billionaire would definitely not refuse to listen to this kind of thing.

Everyone in Dolan Jian was stunned by him, and then he slowly said what Lin Long told him.

"On the basis of setting the salary cap, we add a luxury tax line, and the part above the salary cap and below the luxury tax line remains unchanged as before, but once the team reaches above the luxury tax line, how much it exceeds it will be given to extra. How much tax the league pays, these money are paid uniformly at the end of the season, and then distributed proportionally to all losing teams.""

"In this way, it can not only avoid some unnecessary high-paying poaching and malicious competition, but also make the bosses spend more rationally. If you really want to compete for the championship and create a dynasty, then spend money. If you want to be bad, you want to get a high position. How about a rookie who doesn't lose all his pants? Does my proposal give every team an opportunity to get more money every year?"

"In addition, I have another proposal, in order to allow some petty owners to receive money, we continue to retain the rule that each team can sign a player with a maximum salary in addition to the salary cap, but this part of the money, must be Double the luxury tax! That way, whether you want grades or money, or both, you can get it done!

After Dolan finished speaking, he shrugged and lay back in his chair, as if it were none of his business.

But in his heart, he was proud of his genius idea.

What Lin Long told Dolan was that only the first half was about the luxury tax, and the second half was about the extra maximum salary, which Dolan secretly added for his own selfishness.

Dolan wants to show off his skills this year, he wants to show off his moves in his first full offseason in New York, and take the Knicks one step further!

Dolan's proposal undoubtedly caused a thousand waves.

You must know that the luxury tax was originally created by the NBA, the 363 league. Before this, there was no precedent for sports leagues in the world. Now that it is proposed by Dolan, it is indeed an earth-shattering force.

The bosses quickly fell into a heated discussion, and they had to study whether the thing proposed by Dolan was feasible.

After a full day of discussions, the bosses came to an agreement.

Then they brought in Lin Long and Hunter and other labor representatives, and the two sides once again started a long negotiation on a new labor-management agreement.

Fans, players and reporters from all over the country have assembled in full, waiting for the results of the negotiations between the two sides.

Finally, on August 30, the new collective bargaining agreement was finally settled!

The league is also officially back to normal operations!

All trades, transfers, training and team activities are approved to proceed!

The specific details of the agreement were soon disclosed by the media.

In a nutshell, the new collective bargaining agreement is the following:

1. The two parties will share the ratio, according to the 50/50 distribution.

2. Establish a luxury tax line on the basis of the salary cap.

3. Set the upper limit of the player's maximum salary, set the upper limit of the contract period, rookie players will be paid according to the order, and the treatment of the basic salary to the middle-level players will be greatly increased.

4. To reserve one cap space for each team, double tax payment is required, and each team can only use it once, and it can only be used within 3 years.

This is an agreement in which both parties benefited and made concessions.

Except for the fourth item that Lin Long never thought about, all the situations are the same as Lin Long planned.
