0822: [Two Poison Pills of the NBA Council]
Kobe Bryant was even a little surprised when he saw Snoopy.
"You're an internationally renowned superstar now, and those who don't care about the NBA know you've completed a Grand Slam this season. You're so majestic. ”
What he said was sour.
Snoopy reached out and touched his head, "Are you jealous of me?" ”
The Black Mamba shrugged his shoulders and raised an eyebrow: "How is that possible?" ”
Then, he started to say, "You've got to train harder in the summer, and now everyone's eyes are on you." All the forces of jealousy will be slaughtering you next season!! And I don't think you're going to have as much support as you have this season next season, you have to be more proficient in your scoring skills. You've got to push your scoring average to 30 to really be a superstar who can change the game on the pitch on your own. ”
Bryant rubbed Vanessa's underwear while teaching her earnestly.
Ever since Vanessa revealed that she was going to divorce him, he has become extremely submissive. Now, I don't dare to take the initiative to find the little duke to come to the house to practice scoring skills, for fear that the pregnant Vanessa will be suspicious.
"It's a boy this time, right?" The little duke asked subconsciously.
As a Chinese, caring about a child's gender is almost a natural knee jerk reaction.
And the Black Mamba's reaction to hearing this question was like he had missed another crucial shot, panicked and frustrated.
All right!
No need to answer.
Puppies know it!
Snoopy patted the Black Mamba on the shoulder and drove away from his Lamborghini. After many rounds of discussions with Daphne, George Chan and Queen Sweet Songs, he has decided to buy a property in Los Angeles.
After all, it's always better to come over every summer, and it's always better to have a house.
In this regard, the brothers of the entire hard training group were highly welcomed, except for Derrick Rose. Because everyone is from California except for Ross and Curry, Curry also has a property in Los Angeles.
So, everyone was very happy that Snoopy had set up camp in Los Angeles. That meant they could spend more time together in the summer.
However, before everyone could be happy together, the little duke returned to Chicago.
He took part in the Grand Championship Parade on June 16.
When buses full of members of the Bulls coaching staff appeared on the streets of Chicago, all the fans went crazy. Despite the city's advance security maintenance, a total of 588 police officers, 114 firefighters, and 153 municipal engineering personnel were dispatched. But the fans who popped up from the streets were still out of their budget!
After a 13-year absence, the championship parade inspired the enthusiasm of all citizens.
This championship is too important for Chicago.
It means that the bull has officially stepped into the palace of dynastic revival, and it also announces that the image of the weak bull since the post-Jordan era is gone forever.
Most importantly, this is just the beginning: Chicago's core players are still so young, and they have plenty of time to win more championships.
Snoopy at 21, Derrick Rose at 22, Joaquin Noah at 25, Lore Deng at 26. This core combination has not even officially entered its peak yet, and what awaits them is an infinitely bright future!
The Illinois media is already looking forward to four consecutive championships, and some optimistic fans even believe that the Bulls will directly win ten consecutive championships!!
Watching Snoopy and Derek Rose standing on the tall tour bus, the two stood hand in hand, very intimate. At the end of the parade, Snoopy even held the microphone and held Derrick Rose's hand and told the excited supporters on both sides: "Actually, we have another MVP, he is Derrick Rose, wait and see, he will be an eye-opener for everyone next season!" ”
He's got to get Rose excited, and Rose has always regretted that he didn't make it to the last three Finals.
This remark elicited even greater cheers.
There's nothing more exciting than seeing two key players like brothers.
Everyone is looking forward to the future.
In fact, the rest of the league is worried about the Bulls, who won the championship as the second youngest player in the league.
So, at the NBA Board of Governors meeting on June 19, when discussing the content of the Duke's clause.
Lakers small owner Kupchak immediately threw out a proposal: "I think... We should be more lenient for the superstars who led the team to the Finals and won the MVP in the first three seasons, and also became the MVP of the regular season. ”
"It's no secret that a rookie contract is a no-and-out crush contract for a superplayer. We capitalists must have a conscience, so that we can win the respect and loyalty of the players from the bottom of our hearts! ”
"So I'm proposing not only to increase the starting salary on the second contract, from 25 percent to 30 percent of the salary cap. It will also be implemented immediately from the fourth year. ”
"The most important thing is that these players should be free from the direct shackles of their rookie contracts and move from restricted players to unrestricted players, with other teams having the right to make offers!!"
As soon as little Bass said this, fools knew what his intentions were. Over the years, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers have been eye-to-eye with Snoopy, and Bryant even played in person in this year's playoffs. Doesn't this clearly show that playing the emotional card and hoping that Snoopy will join the Lakers?
Bulls owner Reinsdorf immediately objected. He agreed to increase the starting salary, but opposed moving Snoopy from a restricted player to a non-restricted team, and that undermined the Bird Clause.
However, the Miami Heat, the Dallas Mavericks, the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets, the Boston Celtics... Nearly all of the other 28 teams have expressed support for the Lakers.
This made Reinsdorf furious at the meeting and angrily scolded: You are naked robbery.
Finally, under the mediation of all parties. The teams still respected the existing rules and recognized that the original team had priority over players until a new contract was signed.
However, other teams have also taken the duke's clause in the eyes: players are allowed to seek trades for the duration of their contracts, and they have the right to veto deals!!
Reinsdorf was outnumbered and could only swallow with tears.
However, when the management was fully determined the fine print of the terms that were named Duke.
The representative of the Boston Celtics suddenly said: "The previous clause was aimed at the top superstars, and it was too difficult to achieve a first-team defense, or a regular season MVP, or a Finals MVP three years before their rookie season!" Should we take the rules down a bit? ”
"I'm proposing that a player who was elected MVP during his rookie contract, or who was selected twice as a starter in the All-Star draft, or who was named to the All-Star Team twice (regardless of team) should be rewarded. The bonus is that they can sign a super contract with a salary cap of 30% of the starting salary at the end of their rookie contract!! ”
Danny Angie said seriously.
As soon as he said this, he said.
Reinsdorf jumped up at that time: "You are targeting me!!" Only Derrick Rose meets this criteria!! ”
At this time, Presti, who was sitting silently in the corner, said leisurely: "Kevin Durant also meets this clause, and Westbrook may also be activated." We are also victims. ”
His words made Reinsdorf feel a little uncomfortable, and he thought that Presti was on his side. There is no longer a need to be besieged by a group like the previous link.
However, Presti changed his words: "However, I support this agreement. We should give these good superstars better salary terms. This will make them more loyal!! ”
When the Thunder representatives agreed.
Representatives of other teams echoed the opposition.
So, not surprisingly, the agreement, known as the Ross clause, also came into effect.
Next, the management representatives began to have a lively discussion on the new collective bargaining agreement. They are very picky about the terms proposed by the NBA Labor Association, the Lakers owners no longer talk about the conscience of the capitalists, and Presti does not talk about loyalty.
Reinsdorf was already slumped in his chair.
He thinks it's all a conspiracy, and these guys are afraid of the Bulls on the court, so they try to get the Bulls in the rules.
Now the Bulls are saddled with a hefty luxury tax, Snoopy will get a super-cap next season, and Rose will get a super-cap next season...... Murder!!
When Reinsdorf came out of his office, he didn't want to speak at all.
The Lakers boss on the side was very enthusiastic, and kept talking to him: "If you have salary pressure, just say it, and everyone will help you find a way." It's really not good, the Los Angeles Lakers can share it for you. ”
He looked like he was very easy to deal with.
Reinsdorf glared at him viciously before getting into the car: "You should never want to get Snoopy from us!" ”
Little Bas wasn't angry at all.
He is not in a hurry, he believes that there is still a long way to go.
Most of the other team owners also thought the same thing in their hearts, and they would lose two poison pills first. Whether the bull gritted his teeth or not, the strategic goal was achieved.
……
The Duke, who has no idea what was being discussed on the NBA's Board of Management, returned to Los Angeles after attending the championship parade in Chicago. For the past week, he's been shooting commercials.
Also with him is Stephen Curry.
Curry's signature shoes will be launched this summer, and the Duke brand will also host this year's high-end training camp. This is an operation to expand the influence of the basketball market.
Since last year, the Duke brand has entered the American high school league and the NCAA league one after another. Prestigious schools including UCLA, Duke, and Arizona have begun to unify the Duke brand.
These sponsorships have boosted the popularity of the Duke brand, coupled with the fact that the Duke Jr. has just had a stellar NBA season. Today, the market share of Duke brand basketball shoes has surpassed Adidas in the US market.
The biggest implication for Snoopy is that he will have more money to invest in Silicon Valley.
