Chapter 311 CBA's Salary Cap and Foreign Aid
The Basketball Association should accept it and take back Davidson's position as deputy director, since Davidson doesn't want to do it, there is no need to force it, anyway, Davidson just stays.
In the afternoon, there was another small meeting within the basketball association, and this time Davidson participated in this internal meeting as a professional.
In fact, this internal meeting was mainly held for Davidson, and the leaders of the basketball association also wanted to hear Davidson's opinion.
At present, the professionalization of the CBA is not particularly smooth, mainly because the quality of the players is uneven, the game is not high, and the number of fans is naturally very small.
At present, the Basketball Association is also trying its best to prepare to solve this situation, if the number of CBA fans does not increase, then the CBA league will never be able to become bigger and stronger.
In response to this situation, Davidson also gave several suggestions in connection with the development history of the NBA.
The first point is to create stars, like Stern made black and white and Jordan, and created an earth-shattering superstar in the CBA.
Hu Weidong can be said to be the current superstar of the CBA, with an average of 30+ points per game at his peak, but this is not enough.
At the current level of the CBA league, an average of 30 points per game is nothing, at least you have to create a super monster that can play an average of 50+20 per game, plus media publicity, it will definitely get the attention of many fans.
Of course, after this superstar is created, he must be able to ensure that this player can stay in the CBA, and if he runs away halfway, it will be tantamount to making a wedding dress for the NBA.
When Stern took over the NBA, the NBA was actually on the verge of collapse, compared to the current CBA.
And star-making is undoubtedly one of the most important means for Stern to strengthen the NBA.
If there hadn't been a black-and-white duel and the later god of basketball, the current NBA is probably almost cool.
After Davidson spoke out about his thoughts and the reasons behind them, the Basketball Association was quite supportive.
They feel that what Davidson said is quite reasonable, and if they want to attract the attention of the fans, how can they do it without something?
Now the idea of the Basketball Association is to make the CBA bigger and stronger as soon as possible, and then the higher the gold content of the league, the more powerful players can naturally be cultivated, which is very beneficial to the development of Chinese basketball.
As for whether this idea is right, no one can say at the moment, anyway, Davidson thinks there is nothing wrong.
……
If you want to make a star, you must have a suitable goal.
Right now, Davidson has the right person in mind.
It is Tang Zhengdong, the young center forward of the Jiangsu Nangang team.
This player Davidson heard Da Ba and Dazhi mention that a rather young interior player, two years younger than Yao Ming, is an incomparably standard seven-foot center.
Born in September '82, he's only seventeen years old, but this guy already has a year of professional experience.
In 98, that is, when Tang Zhengdong was sixteen years old, he had already joined Jiangsu Nangang.
In the eyes of Daba and Dazhi, Tang Zhengdong's potential is still quite good, although it is definitely not as good as Yao Ming, but he will definitely be able to grow into a top center in China in the future.
With such a foundation, plus Davidson's help, it is enough to make stars.
It just so happened that the bus should also be replaced, and Davidson was ready to replace the bus with Tang Zhengdong.
Although it is more appropriate to use Yao Ming to replace the bus at the moment, Davidson feels that this approach is a bit killing.
You must know that Dazhi also had to be replaced in 01, and it would be more appropriate to use Yao Ming to replace Dazhi at that time.
And the main reason is that Yao Ming is unable to participate in the draft at present, and the Shanghai team will not let go, saying that Yao Ming must help the Shanghai team win the championship before considering this matter.
This is just a consideration, and it is not necessarily that Yao Ming will be let go......
What Davidson is thinking about now is how to let Tang Zhengdong continue to stay in the CBA despite the huge increase in strength......
It seems that it is necessary for me to talk to Tang Zhengdong about it.
At present, Tang Zhengdong is already over eighteen years old, and this year's draft must not be considered, because he has not signed up for the draft before, but Tang Zhengdong is qualified for next year's draft.
It is estimated that if Tang Zhengdong participates in the draft at that time, he will have the influence of Davidson and may be selected, and the ranking may not be low.
After all, Davidson has dug up a lot of outstanding interior players from China over the years, and if Chinese interior players participate, they will always make people look high.
Davidson is ready to let Jiangsu Nangang sign a lifetime contract with Tang Zhengdong before Tang Zhengdong runs for election, so that even if Tang Zhengdong is selected by the NBA, he will not be able to leave Jiangsu Nangang.
If Tang Zhengdong stays in the CBA, then this superstar will be considered a success.
Davidson didn't feel sorry for Tang Zhengdong, because under normal circumstances, although Tang Zhengdong was infinitely close to signing with the Raptors, he was finally given up by the Raptors in the end.
It is equivalent to saying that Tang Zhengdong himself has no way to enter the NBA.
Now Tang Zhengdong not only has no losses, but also has gained a huge increase in strength.
I just don't know if Tang Zhengdong is happy to sign this lifelong contract.
If you really don't want to sign, that's not a big deal, and Davidson can change a target.
With the system bonus, even if Davidson pulls someone from the street, as long as there is no physical problem and the age is appropriate, he can at least be trained to become an NBA All-Star level player.
……
And in addition to making stars, Davidson also made a proposal to the CBA.
That's the pay cap system.
Judging from the current situation, in fact, there is no need to make a salary cap for the CBA.
The salaries of CBA players are pitifully low compared to the NBA, and no team will offer CBA players sky-high contracts.
But just because there's nothing necessary now doesn't mean there's no need in the future.
It is precisely because it seems unnecessary at the moment that it is easy to implement this salary cap system.
In addition to Stern's star-making and global marketing, the salary cap system is also a very important measure for the development and growth of the NBA.
In the face of Davidson's suggestion, the leaders of the basketball association were happy, and they also felt that it was really unnecessary.
However, this thing is not difficult to implement at all, and since Davidson wants to do it, it is not impossible to give it a try, anyway, there is no harm.
In addition to star-making and salary caps, Davidson also mentioned foreign aid.
Foreign aid is definitely a double-edged sword, not only the fans think so, but even Davidson thinks so.
At present, the CBA's restrictions on foreign aid are relatively dead, and Davidson feels that with the current CBA situation, it can be appropriately relaxed.
Trying to compete with local players and give them a sense of crisis may have a good effect.
Some fans believe that the increase in the playing time of foreign players will lead to the maximum development of local players.
In fact, Davidson feels that this view must be reasonable.
There are pros and cons to loosening restrictions on foreign aid and tightening restrictions on foreign aid, and in the current situation, no one dares to say which plan is more beneficial to the development of Chinese basketball.
So at present, I can only slowly grope in the dark.
