Chapter 483 You are just the boss on the court, but you are still the younger brother off the court

"Boss, is it really okay?" The news of Wei Lai's return to Los Angeles was immediately heard by the Lakers players, and they all came here, except for Gasol who will not be able to make it in Spain for a while.The reason is: On July 7, the last day when the old labor agreement was still valid, the labor and management sides conducted the last negotiation. This time, there were still huge differences between the two sides and no agreement could be reached.As a result, the NBA officially entered a lockout on July 1, 2011!
At that time, Wei Lai told them not to be nervous, this will recover sooner or later, let them play and train as they should!
But almost a month has passed, and the two sides still haven't reached an agreement, which makes the players panic.

"Don't worry, the biggest impact of this matter is the NBA. David will not watch this go on, he will find a way to deal with it, and you think about who is the biggest loser in this matter? It's not the players, not the NBA, but the players. The bosses of the team, the absence of games means no income. Do you think these bosses will continue to let things go on like this? There are still players who have no games and no income. Do you panic? When everyone is afraid, sit down and Let everyone make a concession, and everyone will be happy!" Wei Lai said one by one.

But the lockout will definitely stop. After all, if those team owners don't hurt, how can they give in?The same is true for the players. This lockout mainly involves the interests of both parties!

In fact, on February 2010, 2, which was the All-Star Weekend last season, the foreshadowing had already been laid.At that time, the league announced the content of the new agreement offer while the All-Star Weekend was going on.The reason why the league chose to announce it at this time is because the labor agreement signed every six years is about to expire before the start of the new season in 11. After the consensus, the player's various contractual matters must be implemented in accordance with this agreement in the past six years.

The new version of the agreement announced in 2010 made the players very dissatisfied at the time. The reason was that the players' income would be cut. It's just that there is still some time before the official signing of the agreement, so the players' backlash has not yet expanded.

And because last year, the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh formed an army in Miami, this actually made the management of each team dissatisfied with the existing agreement and believed that the league should prevent this. The emergence of a group of star players has also made the employer want to formulate more stringent terms in the new agreement.

Later, representatives of the labor and management sides also met several times. It is said that the meeting process was very friendly, but in fact there was no progress in the agreement.Seeing that the old agreement is about to end with only one season left, and at this time, the labor and management have not yet reached a consensus.

Soon, the time came to February 2011, 2. At this time, the representatives of the labor and management sides conducted negotiations again. The rumor process was also very friendly, but in fact it was not very satisfactory.Because the league claimed at the time that "the league has a deficit of 29 million U.S. dollars every year", and 3 teams are in a state of loss, hoping to achieve balance by reducing players' salaries by 22% and raising a hard salary cap.

The NBA's salary cap is a soft limit, which is completely different from the hard caps of the NFL and NHL at the time.The hard cap means that no matter what, the salary cannot exceed a certain amount; the soft cap means that various exceptions can be used to obtain the opportunity to break through the salary cap, such as the Bird clause.At that time, the Wizards were even punished by the league for announcing the possible hard salary cap to the boss in advance.

The reason why the league targets players' income is because player salaries account for 57% of the league's total revenue. The league hopes to lower this figure to less than 50%, so that the pressure on the deficit can be alleviated.It's just that the players are of course unwilling, and they had already rejected the same agreement at the All-Star Weekend a year ago, and the league proposed the same content a year later, which made the players and the players union feel very dissatisfied and refused to sign this agreement. protocol.

In the ensuing negotiations, although both parties made some concessions to each other, for example, the bosses were willing to change the hard limit to a "flexible limit", and the players were also willing to reduce the proportion of salary expenditure. Think that the other party is not sincere enough, but still can not reach a consensus.

But Wei Lai is not worried at all about knowing the development of his previous life!
"You deserve to be the new king of Los Angeles, just calm." O'Neill joked, in fact, for O'Neill, who is about to retire, this matter is actually nothing. It's just that this season really stops, aren't those own championships?In O'Neal's view, next season, the Los Angeles Lakers are still the biggest championship contenders!
Then he will be able to win one more championship in the last season before retiring, that is 7. When I see Jordan outside, hehehe!Just thinking about O'Neill feels cool!

But O'Neal knew in his heart that no matter how many more he had than Jordan, he could not surpass Jordan. After all, as the core of the team, he created two consecutive dynasties, 6 championships, and 6 FMVPs!

And unless at the peak of the year, he could win 6 championships at once! 6FMVP!It is possible to be compared with Jordan.

FUCK!It's all to blame for this dead afro, growing too slowly!Look at Wei Lai, he can help the team in his rookie season and become the main force of the team in his second season, but what about you?Still sitting on the bench.Otherwise, I will not only have these championships and FMVPs!

O'Neal thought of this and gave Kobe a hard look.

baffling.Kobe is too lazy to care about O'Neal, and gets nervous from time to time!
After listening to Wei Lai's words, everyone relaxed a little.

At this time, Fisher suggested: "We haven't celebrated Wei Lai becoming the new king of the Lakers. Shouldn't we go out for a meal while everyone is packed?"

"Okay!" "Let's go!" "This proposal, I like it!".
"Wait, who pays the bill?" Wei Lai asked better.

O'Neill hugged Wei Lai and said, "Nonsense, of course it's you, who else? As the boss, can you justify not treating me?"

Wei Lai: "." That's not right, it seems that I treated guests a few years ago!This is so double standard.

"Wait, I'm the boss, I refuse!"

reject?

In an instant, everyone surrounded Wei Lai.

The representative of O'Neill said: "Wei Lai, you are just the boss on the court, and you are still the younger brother off the court!" Then Wei Lai was carried away.

Wei Lai: "."

"I pay the bill, I pay the bill, let go!" Seeing that Wei Lai agreed, the teammates released Wei Lai.

Then Wei looked at Jimmy Butler who was still training and shouted, "Jimmy, come and eat!"

Jimmy Butler dropped the ball and ran over.

Danny Green hugged Jimmy Butler who ran over and said, "Boy, you are a bit out of place." Just now when everyone was talking, Jimmy felt that he couldn't get in the conversation, so he went to training.

"No." Jimmy replied nervously.

"Danny Green, your vacation is over, come here to report tomorrow." Wei Lai took the opportunity to say, within a few days, Danny Green's body was out of shape, if it wasn't for the crowds here, Wei Lai must have followed Danny Green Rub on the ground.

Nani?Danny Green is stunned!
Then a group of people left and went to a nearby restaurant.
