Chapter 280: Signing Rodman

Pippen's departure has caused the Bulls' strength to decline significantly.

If it's just that you can't beat the king, that's okay......

The most feared thing is that if he doesn't even make it to the finals, then Jordan's reputation will be completely ruined.

In addition to Pippen's departure, Rodman also didn't give the Bulls an answer at the moment, and it seems that he is also upset.

If the Bulls Iron Triangle goes directly, then even if Jordan is really God, I am afraid there is absolutely no hope of winning the king, and it is unlikely that he will even lead the team to the finals alone.

In addition to the lack of hope of winning, the main thing is that the negotiations between the players' union and the league are currently in trouble.

Look at what Stern means, this year is going to introduce a maximum salary regulation for players anyway.

If there is no salary cap regulation, there may still be a situation like Jordan in the future, where one person's salary is higher than the salary cap of the entire team.

If this situation continues for a long time, it is definitely not a good thing for the development of the alliance.

Stern's will is extremely resolute, and with Jordan's understanding of Stern, it is estimated that there is definitely no room for turning around in this matter.

Once the maximum salary regulation is introduced, it will definitely be impossible for Jordan to get an annual salary of 30 million in the future.

If you don't have any hope of winning, and you can't make a lot of money, why stay in the league? Just retire and forget it.

……

The current president of the NBA Players' Union is Knicks leader Ewing.

Ewing is currently leading the players' union in a battle against Stern's salary cap rule.

It's embarrassing that Ewing's protest is not bought by everyone in the players' union, and some players are actually more inclined to let the maximum salary regulation be introduced.

Only by limiting the salaries of top players can they get higher salaries for middle and lower-level players.

The cake is so big in total, and the boss's money is not blown by the wind, so he can't keep losing money and making money.

The top stars take more money, and the middle and lower level players get less money.

So even within the players' union, there are a lot of people who support Stern this time.

However, they are not union owners, **** is Ewing ......

Ewing had just taken the presidency of the union last offseason, and it can be said that he completely represents the interests of the top players.

Ewing's previous union president was the famous Buckbuck Buck Williams, who served as president for three years.

It may be that the league has not conducted labor and salary negotiations in the past three years, so the chairman of the Bucks does not have much presence, and it is not clear whether he is a representative of middle and low-level players or a representative of top players.

Buckbuck was preceded by the smiling assassin Thomas, who is arguably the most conscientious union president in the entire history of the NBA.

He's in a position that is all about being on the side of the middle and lower level players and working for the benefit of these people.

A union is essentially a union that serves the majority, only a few top stars, what kind of union is it......

Ewing, on the other hand, has almost become the spokesperson for top stars, and he doesn't agree with Stern's salary cap regulations, and he can't say anything.

Maybe Ewing is still looking forward to getting a super salary at this age, like Jordan......

Because of Ewing's insistence, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Looking at the current situation, Davidson feels that it is a question of whether the next season can start normally.

Sure enough, starting in July, the players' union led the players to start a strike, which was not large.

And Stern's powerful personality said on TV that NBA players have made enough money and don't take the strike seriously at all, which directly makes the scale of the strike a lot larger.

The two sides are now more energetic, and no one will let go.

Davidson was speechless, and if this situation continued, the new season might really be suspended.

After Davidson entered the league, this was actually the second time that the players' union went on strike.

The last time was in '95, when Bucks Buck was the chairman, but this strike did not affect the new season, and the two sides negotiated before the start of the season.

Looking at the scale of this strike, it is estimated that it is difficult to negotiate.

At present, this situation has nothing to do with Davidson's dime.

No matter how the players strike, Davidson's salary will not be a dime.

The negotiations between the players' union and the owners have nothing to do with Davidson and other coaches, so Davidson is too lazy to get involved.

The players under him are willing to go on strike, so let him go.

At the moment, Davidson has a rather bold plan, which is quite important for the Grizzlies in the new season.

Dig up Rodman from the bulls!

I have been friends with Rodman for more than ten years, in fact, the two of them want to play together, but there is no suitable opportunity for one team.

And now, with Jordan retiring, the opportunity has arisen.

It just so happens that there are no decent blue-collar interior lines in the Grizzlies right now, and if Rodman comes, he will definitely solve the urgent need!

The most important thing is that in today's league, I am afraid that in addition to themselves, there are not many teams that dare to give Rodman a big contract.

Rodman's personality is a big problem, but if he is next to Davidson, it is not a problem.

For dad and Davidson, Rodman is still quite patient.

Thinking of this, Davidson did not hesitate to call Rodman.

"Dennis, would you like to come to Vancouver?" Davidson didn't have a polite relationship with Rodman, he was so familiar.

Rodman on the other end of the phone was directly happy, just at that moment, he was about to call Davidson to talk about it, but he didn't expect Davidson to take the initiative to call.

"Wilson, what do you say?" Rodman laughed.

"Okay, that's it, if you don't go to the strike, come to Vancouver in the near future, and we'll talk about the contract first." Davidson quipped.

"Strike? I'm not in the mood for that, I'm ready to relax this offseason, and it's been a tough three years with the Bulls. ”

"The contract matter, let's wait for two months, anyway, you can't treat me badly."

"Of course, I won't open my mouth widely, about two million, and I don't need too much."

Rodman was very patient with Davidson, and if someone else called him, he probably hung up after a few words.

After talking to Rodman, Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, and the problem of the inner blue-collar was so easily solved.

It only costs $2 million to get a blue-collar interior line like Rodman's historic level, which is really quite a bargain.

Of course, Davidson is also well aware that Rodman does not have much of a market in today's league.

One is a personality problem, that is, the Bulls have Jordan pressing, plus Rodman wants to win, so they can get along more peacefully.

On other teams, Rodman might get into some trouble.

Under normal circumstances, Rodman actually announced his retirement this offseason.

No one could have imagined that Rodman would go straight to becoming a journalist after retiring.

Who would dare to believe it, Rodman as a reporter......

After working for about three months, probably because he didn't feel like he was a journalist, Rodman went to Los Angeles and joined the Lakers for $600,000.

Last season's Rodman still had the strength of the league's top blue-collar workers, and under normal circumstances, the price would certainly not be so low.

The reason why he signed such a low price was that Jenny Buss, the daughter of the Lakers owner, played a big role.

Rumor has it that Rodman has a leg with Jeanie Buss......
