On November 26, the labor and management parties finally reached an agreement, ending the 149-day shutdown.≧

Stern announced that the new season will kick off on Christmas Day on December 25, and the free market and training camp will be opened on December 9 at the same time.

According to EPSN statistics, 70 players have gone overseas to play basketball, and most of them can return to the United States to compete in the new season. Those who go to China to hunt for gold are in trouble and they have to wait until the end of the CBA season.

The contract for CBA to play is far from comparable to that of NBA. The only advantage is that players who cannot make the playoffs can return to NBA in the mid-term, which is considered a loophole. However, it is embarrassing that NBA players cannot lead the team to the playoffs in CBA.

Wang Jun is not lazy at home. He performs bounce training every day, underwater training, plus immortality and knee training, ensuring high intensity for three hours a day, and spending time with his girlfriend and watching the child.

Wang Jun stopped passing training, and he did not need to undertake organizational tasks in the team, and he had time to improve in the future.

The stars all sighed that Wang Jun did not accept interviews or tweeted online at the beginning of the season, which was terrifyingly low-key.

The players finally accept a floating share plan of 49%-51%, and the investors ensure that under the premise of ideal NBA revenue growth, the laborer can get a 51% profit share.

On the surface, this result was very happy, the actual negotiation process was miserable, and the losses of both sides were heavy. More importantly, when will the NBA get the understanding of fans?

Now, fans know that these people are full of money.

None of the boss and the player is the winner, and the losses of both sides are more than $2 billion.

A complete NBA season has 82 regular season games, and now only 66 games are left, and the players' direct economic losses reach $530 million.

Take Kobe as an example. He is the highest-salary player in the new season, with a total salary of $10,000. Due to the shrinking season, his salary loss reached $4.92 million.

More importantly, if the schedule is too tight and back-to-back games will cause players' physical strength to be seriously reduced, which will not only directly affect the quality of the game, but also increase the possibility of players being injured.

As soon as the free market opened, the Kings completed the deal with the 76ers. Yi Jianlian signed 43 million in four years and then transferred to the 76ers. The Kings received rookie center Nikola Vucevic and a 2012 first-round draft pick and 1.2 million cash.

Veteran Tony Barty missed the opportunity to win the championship with her legs, and neither the Kings' management nor the coaching staff looked down on him.

Yi Jianlian had known this result for a long time. His agent Feigen had great magical powers and predicted that the king would not renew his contract. After saying goodbye to Wang Jun, Yi Jianlian was a little depressed, but got the high salary he wanted.

He can start at the 76ers and also compete in the playoffs. The competition in the Eastern Conference is relatively small, which will also be beneficial to his future development.

The Grizzlies and the Celtics completed the deal, Guy joined the Celtics, and Martin arrived at the Grizzlies.

The Lakers, Rockets and Hornets had the biggest deal, but in the end they failed.

During labor-management negotiations, the Lakers became the thorn in the eyes of many small market teams because of their "full profit" over the years. Especially after the Lakers signed a huge broadcast contract with Time Warner, "making money" from the Lakers has become a major goal for many small bosses this year.

The "internal struggle" of investors is still in progress. In small market teams, Cavaliers boss Dan Gilbert has always been a representative figure of "suppressing the Lakers".

As the Lakers launched their pursuit of Paul, Gilbert naturally would not sit idly by and watch the Lakers grow so strong.

On the 8th, just after the Lakers and three teams submitted their transaction application for Paul to the league, Gilbert immediately wrote an email to the president, asking Stern to submit the transaction to all bosses in the league and let everyone vote together to decide whether to agree to the Lakers' deal.

"Mr. President, it seems very ridiculous to me that the Lakers are going to get Paul's deal negotiations. This deal should allow 29 bosses in the league to vote together. After all, everyone is the Hornets' boss now."

As we all know, the current Hornets do not have their own boss and are under the league custody. In other words, the current Hornets belong to the NBA, and the bosses of the other 29 teams can be considered as the owners of the Hornets.

Gilbert made such a request, which was reasonable. In addition, he also affirmed that the majority of those who opposed the Lakers' deal were definitely the same.

In fact, Stern "stopped" the Lakers' deal long before the email was sent. Therefore, Gilbert's protest was unnecessary.

Two days later, according to the NBA spokesperson, Stern rejected the deal for some "basketball reasons". As for what the so-called "basketball reasons" are, neither NBA nor Stern gave a clear statement.

Lakers manager Kupchek specializes in other stars too late. In order to pay less luxury tax, he had to send Odom, one of the trading chips, to the Mavericks, to exchange for only one trading exception.

Lakers fans are angry. Many people say that the league suppresses the Lakers and don’t want the Lakers to win the championship again. It’s like Paul will definitely win the game when he comes to the Lakers.

The league has too late to win over the Lakers, so how can it be suppressed? The Lakers had previously "snatched" Gasol from the Grizzlies. Although the deal was opposed by all parties, it was finally completed.

Why did the Lakers face a veto in this transaction?

It's very simple. The Lakers shouldn't have to use veterans as bargaining chips to play Hornets players. Stern has always been considering selling the Hornets to a wealthy boss.

If the deal is reached, the Hornets will get 4 players, Scola and Odom are veterans and have no potential. Dragic is just a substitute point guard in the Rockets, a big shot. The only promising one is Eric Gordon, who is not an All-Star. The combined commercial value of these four people cannot keep up with Paul.

In other words, once Paul goes to the Lakers, the commercial value of this team will drop sharply. How can you sell it at a good price? Is anyone willing to ask for it?

The reason for basketball is how to sell the Hornets to the highest price. It is precisely for this reason that Stern rejected the transaction "unprecedented".

Stern never objected to the crowded behavior of stars, which has been well reflected in recent years. Whether it is the Celtics forming the Big Three, the Lakers trading Gasol, and the two kings joining forces, Stern has never said the word "no".

Moreover, facts in recent years have proved that the collection of superstars has greatly improved the viewing of the game, and NBA has also benefited a lot.

Paul, who is unwilling to go to the Lakers, is also not happy. He made it clear that he would never go to the Hornets to report in the new season and would not play for them.

Compared to the Lakers, he doesn't want to stay with the Hornets. Who knows whether the next trade will be rejected again?

Meanwhile, New York poached Deron Williams, and the price of the comeback was Billups, Landry Fields, Josh Harrelson and a second-round draft pick. The price was small and it looked much more cost-effective than poaching Paul.

The Clippers dug out Mavericks free agent Jamal Crawford and offered him a three-year contract. The point guards include Irving and Bredsoe, and Paul is no longer used on the outside. What they lack is the small forward.

There are only two teams that Paul wants to go to, the Warriors and the Nets, but neither of them have any offer yet.

Paul began to feel desperate and didn't know where the way was.
