At 12:01 on July 1, 2011, the old labor-management agreement officially expired.

A new round of negotiations also begins on July 1, and the new season is approaching, but the labor and capital sides are now unable to reach an agreement on the labor-management agreement.

To put it bluntly, this is just one thing. The boss thinks that the salary of the players is too high and the efforts are not proportional to the gains. Moreover, the US economy is in a downturn and economic crisis, and the team cannot make money now. In order to keep the team running, you players will take less money to maintain the team. Otherwise, the team will not be able to operate without profits. At that time, you will not only get less salary, but it will not be 150 US dollars to 120 US dollars, but you will have no money. What will you use to support your family?

On the labor service, we think that we work for you, and we work with our lives, and this money is what we deserve. If we don’t increase it, it’s fine if you cut our salary. Are you kidding? How much money can you get with the current salary besides taxes? Should we just be busy and work hard, just this little money, and we still play with yarn. It’s better to rest at home.

Another thing is that the financial crisis is a storm, what does it have to do with me? We only know how to work with money, but we can't work without money.

The labor service requirements are actually extremely reasonable.

After all, basketball players are actually not just basketball players, but all athletes are just youthful. In the league, most of them rely on salary to make money. As we know, advertising endorsements, endorsement fees for brands such as Nike, Adidas, etc., besides a few super giants such as James Kobe, who can get them?

In itself, players are also making a living by their youth in recent years. Of course, most of what is said here are. For example, the boss said that the requirement to reduce the player's contract period and reduce the contract period will reduce the risk and increase profits for the boss, but what about the player?

However, the contract period is reduced, and for players who are often at risk of injury and may lead to career reimbursement, the short term means that they lack protection. The cancellation of Bird terms, the special terms of veterans, etc. is morally unreasonable. You should know that there are about 450 players in the league, and there are only about 10 to 20 players who can really play, and the rest are all supporting roles. If you reduce this and reduce that, then what can I use to protect my life?

Of course, as long as people seek benefits and avoid harm, there is no so-called right or wrong, it is just that the interests are high or weak.

People are all for their own benefit.

Among both labor services, the representative figure is NBA President Stern.

He was also very busy for this matter, and no one could sleep.

NBA Chairman Stern, the boss of 30 teams, has always been based on the interests of the boss. Anything that hurts the interests of the boss a little bit is hard to guarantee his position. He must not be careless in thinking about things, and he must be fully prepared.

No matter how many fans you have in the NBA, talk about feelings, idols, and other things... After all, you have to talk about money. If the bosses of the 30 teams in the NBA do not make money and the team and the league are in a loss state, all this is nonsense, and there is no such thing as too much.

The team boss declares bankruptcy, then it's all over.

In fact, this is also for the alliance.

Stern has no choice but to do anything about it. The overseas market cannot be opened and has suffered repeated setbacks. The US economy is in a downturn. What should you do if you ask him to do? In order to continue to survive in this league, he even came up with the practice of disarmament. What is disarmament? It means reducing the teams. Now the league does not have 30 teams, but it needs to reduce it to 20 teams.

However, some teams still have profits, and the boss is definitely unwilling to do so. If the teams are reduced, players will have much less chance of playing, and the benefits of players will be harmed.

If you don’t want to do anything, you can’t just choose to stand with your bosses and reduce your income.

What we have to talk about here is the gap between the ex-Stern and the current Xiao Hua. When Stern was the most awesome, there should be a spring in the Jordan era. After Jordan retired, Yao Ming was elected as the No. 1 pick and rely on the big market behind Yao Ming, but this did not work very well.

When he was laid off, Xiao Hua came up, not knowing whether it was Stern's lack of talent or Xiao Hua's great strategy. As soon as he came up, he immediately opened up the situation and allowed the NBA to go through this difficult period.

However, after all, it is technology that has affected the NBA. If the media industry is not now developed and they signed advertising fees for the NBA, they really didn't do this.

However, none of these matters. The only thing that is certain is that the alliance is still in the stage of making money. Even if the US economy is in a state of making money, then there are interests. The alliance is shut down, but it will definitely not go bankrupt. This is certain.

Even if it goes bankrupt, the US government will definitely not allow this to happen, so you can rest assured that this is true.

Obviously, if both labor and capital cannot reach an agreement and the NBA cannot continue, this is not as simple as players being unemployed. The media that relies on the NBA to survive around the NBA, as well as various industries near the team, think of all aspects involved in the NBA, this thing cannot happen, and even if it does not happen this year.

If it happens, it will definitely mean that there is a problem with the US government and it will be in chaos.

Although there was no bankruptcy, the shutdown was not over. This was just an indefinite shutdown and there was no specific time. In previous years, the team members had returned, started training and prepared for the game.

Those who are trading can also be traded.

The running-in tactic must also be run-in.

However, this time, both the labor service and the alliance were surprisingly united. They did not move, and they would not start work without negotiation.

No one lets go.

No matter who both sides are, they will let each other go.

The preseason has started, but this year, training camp has not started yet.

The players who have earned this job are not in a hurry.

I don’t know if it was to stimulate the league. Superstars such as James and Durant came back on vacation because during the negotiations between the labor and capital, they had no right to interfere with the players’ freedom and spontaneously organized the game. They also declared that the league’s bosses, it’s right that you are the bosses, but without us, you can’t continue to drive.

The bosses are still in a stalemate. Even if I don’t do it, I will not be willing to do a loss-making business.

Until November, when the regular season started, some teams could play in the regular season if they were usual, and some teams even started three to four games, but this year there was no movement. Could it be that the NBA was really finished?
