As soon as he hung up the phone, Godie called in again, and it turned out that there was finally good news from the Clippers.

While Li Donglai was busy with the affairs of the mainland company, the labor negotiations in the NBA have not stopped, and the two sides have been arguing. Until now, it has been suspended for more than five months, both the owner and the players have suffered heavy losses, and it is now that Christmas and New Year are coming, and the league finally can't drag it out.

Both sides have also begun to compromise conditionally, and good news has come from time to time.

It's finally time to understand, and the world's eyes are once again focused on the NBA.

The management of the Clippers was also quickly called in to deal with the matter, and Li Donglai has been fully handed over to the management and Godie, but he is not completely ignored. The progress of the negotiations has always been in his hands.

Li Donglai sat by the window and listened to Gotie slowly recount the contents of the framework agreement reached by labor and management. The opening has passed, and if even Christmas has to pass, neither the players, nor the owners, nor the league can afford to lose.

Players need to play and need to be paid, and the owner can't leave the court empty.

If we wait until next year, who knows how many players will still be able to play?

There has been a lot of news about NBA players going to Europe and Asia to make money recently.

And a week ago, both sides were still dead ducks, and neither side was willing to compromise.

The differences between labor and management in the NBA are mainly in two areas: first, the revenue share ratio, which has been conceded from 57 to 52.5, although the management has insisted on a 55-5 split, and second, the system, which the management hopes to maintain the balance of the league's teams through guò exceptions and luxury tax increases, but the labor side believes that this system will eventually make the players lose their job security.

Even with mediation by the Federal Arbitration and Mediation Bureau last week, the NBA's collective bargaining agreement negotiations have been inconclusive.

Seeing that it was about to be reimbursed for the whole year, the fans didn't have basketball to watch, and the American President Barack Obama, who was a huge basketball fan, couldn't sit still, and finally gave advice to the owners and players of the NBA, asking them to consider the feelings of the fans, learn from the NFL (Major League Football), and solve the current labor disputes like they did.

Obama made the remarks ahead of the latest negotiations between labor and management in the NBA.

Take the example of this year's NFL shutdown and say that NBA players make millions of dollars, and owners have hundreds of millions of dollars. They "should find a way to carve up a $9 billion pie." That way, fans who let NBA owners and players earn a lot of money will be able to enjoy a good season. I think both owners and basketball players need to think from this point of view."

Obama also reminded the NBA, saying their success is inseparable from their fans' love of basketball. It's sad that they've brought the NBA league to a standstill for so long, for their own benefit. Hopefully, the league will resume soon.

Maybe it's because the players can't hold on anymore, it's not easy to live without a salary, and the blue-collar players are okay to say, many big-name stars are used to spending lavishly. Seeing that the money in their pockets is less and less, they see the danger.

Perhaps it was Obama's "administrative intervention" that played a role, and the NBA's collective bargaining showed signs of turning around.

The majority of the 30 team representatives voted in favor of the proposal, and the NBA shutdown will finally end. The planned world tour with many NBA stars suddenly came to an end, and the superstars James, Anthony and Paul who were originally on the roster decided to abandon the tour.

It's not hard to guess that the negotiations are coming to an end and the NBA is going to begin.

This is good news for basketball fans around the world.

On the American side, it was still in the afternoon, and Li Donglai quickly convened the management of the Clippers and held a video conference to discuss the layout.

A new collective bargaining agreement was also placed in front of Li Donglai's computer.

This agreement is undoubtedly beneficial for the Clippers, first of all, the player income will fluctuate between 49-51, and in the first year of the new contract, the player will receive BRI (the total income of the league, if the new season starts at 12.25 as scheduled, then the player contract will be calculated for 66 games.

Players can get at least 57 of the BRI in the last collective bargaining agreement.

In other words, even with a rough estimate of the current BRI total of $4 billion per quarter, the owner could save nearly $240 million to $320 million per season in salary expenses.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the owner, and the players are naturally slightly at a loss.

The salary cap will not be calculated, and the league will ensure that the salary cap and luxury tax trigger lines will not fall below the 2010-11 level for the first two years of the new collective bargaining agreement. In the 2010-11 season, the league salary cap was $58.04 million and the luxury tax trigger was $70.3 million.

Two years before the new collective bargaining agreement, the luxury tax was still more than 1 penalty 1. From the third year onwards, the penalty is 1.5 for salaries exceeding the luxury tax threshold of $0-5 million, 2.5 for each excess of $10 million to $15 million for salaries exceeding $5 million-$10 million, and 0.5 for each $1 million exceeding $20 million for exceeding $15 million to $20 million and exceeding $20 million to $25 million.

Taking the Lakers as an example, in the 2010-11 season, the Lakers' total salary was $91.38 million, the luxury tax trigger line for the current season was 70.3 million, and the Lakers needed to pay $21.01 million in luxury tax; If you use the current luxury tax provisions, because the Lakers have exceeded the luxury tax trigger for the past five years (starting in the 06-07 season), under the new collective bargaining agreement, they will have to pay a staggering $99.79 million in luxury tax for the 2010-11 season......

Although the luxury tax in the first two years of the new labor is still 1 penalty and 1, assuming that the total salary of the Lakers in the next two seasons still exceeds the luxury tax trigger line, in the 2013-14 season, if the total salary of the Lakers is 91.38 million, then according to the luxury tax trigger line for the current season announced by the NBA (estimated to be around $74 million), the Lakers will exceed the threshold by $17.38 million, and the minimum will still be $56.48 million.

This is not good news for the Clippers, who are motivated to become big, and if they want to sign Howard, the team will have two guys with an annual salary of tens of millions. It is also necessary to leave salary space for Griffin, and in the contract year, he can only keep it with a contract of tens of millions of annual salaries, and the salary cap will definitely be exceeded, and it is certain to pay luxury tax.

The championship puzzle is not easy to handle, which means that Li Donglai has just received the sky-high broadcast contract, and he has to pay for it again.

But the free agent clause is also good for the Clippers.

Once the deal is signed, teams will be able to trade free agents on a sign-before-trade basis: teams that exceed the luxury tax threshold will be barred from signing and trading after the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. The maximum number of years of a signed-after-then-player contract is 4 years, with an annual salary increase of up to 3.5.

It was a lot easier for the Clippers to acquire Dwight Howard, and he could choose to jump out of his contract and join the Clippers on a sign-and-trade basis. The Clippers haven't crossed the luxury tax line yet, and the world knows that they've just made a fortune and signed a huge broadcast deal with Time Warner.

Even if the Clippers exceed the luxury first, there is a sign-and-trade clause, which also opens the way for the introduction of Warcraft.

If the Monsters don't terminate their contracts early next summer, then after the 12-13 season, the Clippers want the Monsters to bring their salary total below the salary cap to free up enough space to sign Howard directly.

If nothing else, this framework agreement will be the new rules of the game for the NBA for at least the next six years.

Overall, it's good for the Clippers. Even a team like the Bobcats can come back to life. In the past, Jordan was a loss, but now Jordan can earn more than $30 million a year.

After this collective bargaining agreement was exposed, people immediately thought, "Li Donglai really caught up with the good time, and this guy earned it again." ”

After two years of battling between players and owners, a new collective bargaining agreement was finally approved today, ending a more than five-month shutdown and paving the way for a new season of training camps and the opening of the free agent market, and the regular season will be ushered in on the 25th after Christmas.

While Stern called the 161-day shutdown a "torturous journey," he said it would prove worthwhile in the future, with fans and teams witnessing an improved NBA league for years to come.

"It's a new beginning," Stern said, "and it's going to take a few years to get out of it, but we're very excited about what the future holds." ”

"As soon as Howard has completed the formal contact, Paul and they are all back, call Paul, Griffin, Chauncey to be lobbyists, and ask him to terminate his contract early before the transfer date and settle in the Clippers." Li Donglai gave the order.

"Boss, who are we going to trade?" Tom Thibodeau asked.

Li Donglai raised his eyebrows, "This is your business, don't you think Howard's arrival can make up for the team's weak interior line?" Last year's defeat was because the inside line was too weak. This year, I gave enough permissions, just to strengthen the territory. There should be a lot of players willing to come to the Clippers right now, and with just over 60 games in the season, we have every reason to do well this season. What do you think? ”

His eyes were sharp as he stared at Tom across the video.

Everyone knew that this was the first time the boss had given them a target!

Last year, Li Donglai ignored it and never put pressure on the team. That's because he took over for the first time, and he didn't want to make a lot of complaints and let the fans say that he didn't know how to do it. But this year is different, his power is enough, the money invested is also at the forefront of the league, and he doesn't want to see the team's honorless past.

He needs a goal that satisfies his investment, and although Li Donglai didn't say it explicitly, he will know what honor can satisfy him if he thinks about it.

- Champion!

All management is under pressure. (To be continued)
