Chapter 368 Labor and management reach a new agreement, and the new season training camp begins

During the lockout period, the NBA, the players union, and the teams also negotiated many times, and there was some optimistic progress in the middle. In mid-September 2011, the players agreed to reduce the proportion of income from 9% to 57%. Both employers and employees feel that the negotiations are moving in a good direction.

At this time, the NBA League threw out another plan to bring the negotiations to a stalemate again. NBA President David Stern proposed that both labor and capital could agree to a 50/[-] plan.

This plan not only made the players unacceptable, but the management didn't think it was a good proposal, so it brought the negotiations back to the original point, and it was even reported that Wade and David Stern had a fierce quarrel, which also made the players and the NBA The relationship between the alliance has dropped to a freezing point.

From this moment on, it is no longer both labor and management, because the NBA, team owners, and players all have different opinions.

Then, as the new season was forced to be dragged back, the conflict between the parties deepened, and even the players had differences with each other. Some players believed that the chairman of the players union, Derek Fisher, had been making concessions. I don't know what he talked about in the closed meeting.

Fisher accused the NBA of lying and deceiving fans, and some team owners and some players also accused each other of being greedy.

The matter became more and more serious, which also alarmed the US federal government to come forward to mediate, but this mediation seems to be of no use at all, because all parties refused to make concessions, and the NBA even added fuel to the fire by proposing to reduce the proportion of players. to 47% of new programs.

By mid-November 2011, the players still refused to sign the agreement, and even planned to protect their rights through legal channels.

The NBA decided to fight to the end and suspend the game indefinitely!

After several days of cold war, the two sides finally calmed down.

On November 2011, 11, both employers and employees finally decided to sit down and talk again.

On November 2011, 11, the employer and the employee negotiated for a full 25 hours, and finally reached a consensus this time:

1. The players agree to reduce the proportion of salary expenditure to 51.2% in the new season. In the next few years, adjustments will be made according to the income of the NBA League, and the adjustment range will be between 49% and 51%.

2. The agreement also includes some abandonment rules, as well as the rookie contract terms derived from Derrick Rose.

……

The Rose Clause is a new clause in the new collective bargaining agreement of the NBA. Only players selected to the All-NBA Team twice (regardless of which team) are eligible to use the Rose clause to get a big contract.

……

3. The player's maximum salary ratio remains unchanged.

After agreeing to this agreement, the nba league has also officially restarted. On December 2011, 12, preseason games, player transactions and signings and other related matters will be held.

2011-2012赛季揭幕战于2011年12月26日开始，即为新赛季圣诞大战。

The nba officially announced that the new season will officially kick off at Christmas, and the 82 games of the regular season have also been intensively revised to 66 games.

On December 2011, 12, the Celtics sent Rondo + a first-round pick to the Huang Feng team to complete the transaction and get Chris Paul.

The Celtics lost to the Rockets in the finals last season and failed to win the championship. They are determined to make a comeback. I don't know how Angie fooled the Hornets and brought Paul to Boston.

When Li Kang saw the news of the transaction, he couldn't help but swear at others. His wife at the side grabbed his ear and asked him to be more polite. Li Kang hurriedly apologized and begged for mercy.
