Legendary Basketball Tycoon

With the rapid development of the NBA, the annual salary of players has also increased rapidly, which makes the players' appetites more and more.

The NBA has been suspended twice due to labor disputes, in 1964 and 1976.

I won’t say much about the specific reasons. It’s too ancient and can still be found by Baidu.

Now we are talking about this year, that is, in 1994, the third time the NBA has been shut down due to labor disputes.

What is the reason?

This is also about our "No. 1 pick" big dog Glenn Robinson this year.

Speaking of this guy, he really doesn't do anything real. He just won the No. 1 pick and he started to drift. Before he started playing for the team, he asked the team for a billion-dollar contract. You said this guy is unreasonable.

What does he think he is?

Ancient superstar?

Basketball legend?

The old hooligans have worked hard for many years, and they have slowly got this billion-dollar contract. You said that you, a nasty kid who just entered the league, asked for this treatment. Your baby can really think about it!

Not to mention, the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks is also a big fool, and he is used to each other.

If the champion is placed in Bruce's hands, and according to Bruce's current temper, he would dare to negotiate with him face-to-face, wouldn't it be hard to say?

Of course, Bruce will never get used to each other, he will definitely ruin the champion, so let's sit down on the bench for 3 years.

Of course, Bruce only has the right to sign a rookie. People can go overseas to play football, and they can come back when the rookie year expires.

It makes sense, but I was speechless.

If this person returns to the NBA to play in 3-4 years, I am afraid it will be uncomfortable. Not to mention Bruce’s little-bellied character, he will definitely remember this account. Besides, the other bosses of the league are not stupid. They will definitely not give up the contract with a billion-dollar contract.

So don't be arrogant in front of Bruce, that guy is completely the master of the mess!

...

It is said that this big dog's billion-dollar contract pitted the Milwaukee Bucks miserably. There is no precedent in the history of NBA history that the champion was traded out due to contract events.

The Bucks owner Cole is very embarrassed and really wants to trade this **** directly, but now the uniforms of the teams are receiving the news, everyone is watching his jokes, even if the trade is certainly not much value. Weights.

If you don't trade, then give him the billion-dollar contract. Cole feels uncomfortable. What is the concept of billions in the 1990s?

It is equivalent to the big dog playing for more than ten years, plus the annual sponsorship and bonus, you can directly buy an NBA team.

The Charlotte Hornets can definitely buy it!

Even before 2010, more than 100 million points can still be won, not to mention that it is still in the 90s.

So now Cole is extremely uncomfortable, so he has insomnia, and almost went to heaven to see God because of taking too much sleeping pills.

See how troublesome this is!

No way, other team owners don't want to see this happen to them.

The management is really unbearable for these players to speak loudly.

In 1994, in the labor negotiations, the management required the adoption of a hard salary cap and restrictions on rookie contracts.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves!

The players don't do it, they are not fools, so why don't they ask for more money?

So the two sides fought fiercely.

Of course, Bruce, the owner of the New York Hans, also participated in the labor negotiations as one of the management representatives. Since Bruce is not currently in the United States, he arranged for Mitch Kupchak to represent Si in the labor negotiations.

To be honest, Bruce’s current financial resources don’t care at all, and it doesn’t matter how much he gives to the players, because Bruce’s stars are basically the kind of players who are loyal to one city or are good gentlemen. He still doesn’t want to sign more. Locked these stars to their own team for a few years!

Although this is the case, the Bruce has to lean on the bosses. If the bosses know that Bruce is an anomaly against them, then the New York Hans can basically not have to mix in the league in the future.

Uncle Si was also worried about this, because time can't hold back. If the league is postponed, it will be a loss!

In order to avoid a shrinking season, labor and management temporarily compromised, and both sides took a step back. The hard salary cap was not adopted, but the player contract was restricted.

Everyone put down the "Hetou Jiu" in a friendly manner, and both parties breathed a sigh of relief.

Bruce, who is familiar with the history of the previous shutdown, also sighed secretly. It was so easy to compromise. It was just the beginning of failing to solve the hard salary cap. This is the fuse of the next shutdown!

The lockout in 1998 was hailed as the end of the NBA.

...

Resolved labor-management negotiations, and the management of each team also stepped up to supplement the team's strength.

This is mainly concentrated in the west.

Last season, the Seattle Supersonics were the masters who blocked the killing of the Buddha. Now, it's hard to say.

In this year's NBA Draft, the Seattle SuperSonics traded Sean Camp and Dale Ellis, and their strength was significantly reduced.

This also gave the western powers a chance to catch up.

Bear the brunt of the Houston Rockets. For the ambitious Tilman Filtita, this year is the best time to win the championship.

The team has Olajuwon and many high-quality players. Last season, they were able to reach the Western Conference finals. This season, working hard in the effort will surely reach the finals.

Houston Rockets general manager Dawson also immediately made a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, sending the team's Otis Thorpe + a draft pick, and getting the "spiritual leader" of the Portland Trail Blazers. Ryder Draxler.

Clyde Draxler wanted to leave the Portland Trail Blazers for a long time, and since he decided to leave, many people would definitely want him.

But in the end Clyde Draxler was moved by college teammate Olajuwon and agreed to go to the Houston Rockets to fight for the championship.

As a native of Houston, and also graduated from the University of Houston, so it must be a logical thing to return to the hometown!

The alliance also agreed to the deal.

This time, the other teams in the West were shocked. During college, these two masters were the masters who swept their opponents in the NCAA. Now they are united in the NBA. How do other teams play!

Suddenly the wind in the west was rumbling!

Larry Miller of the Utah Jazz, the Bruce’s old enemy, came next.

The Philadelphia 76ers packed Jeff Hornacek and Sean Green with the Utah Jazz in exchange for the old but still oily Jeff Malone.

This time the Utah Jazz evolved from the original "Utah Shuangsha" into a new combination "Jazz Iron Triangle."

The combination of Malone + Stockton + Hornacek is not inferior.

The west has begun to enter the era of "separated rule of power"!

...

After talking about the west, let's talk about the east again.

The east is also okay. Basically, not many transactions happened.

It was mainly New York Knicks coach Pat Riley who ran away.

I went to Miami to seek refuge with Mickey Allison.

This escape was a year earlier than the previous life.

After Mickey Allison promised greater rights and a 10% stake in the Miami Heat, Pat Riley shamelessly threw the New York Knicks mess to his disciple Jeff Van Gundy and left.

This also announced in advance that the New York Knicks have begun to degenerate.

The rest is only waiting for James Dolan, the "culprit" to appear.

The New York Knicks are so miserable. When Bruce, who was far away in China, learned of all this, he also looked into the distance, feeling very sad.

I don’t know what the story will happen next time we meet again!
