On November 26, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

President Stern announced: "The players and owners have reached a tentative agreement that the new season is expected to kick off on Christmas, with free agency and training camp kicking off on December 9. ”

The shutdown cost both employers and management far more than the 1998-1999 season.

Since the NBA has canceled a total of 321 games in the first six weeks, causing direct economic losses to players of up to $530 million, while the league's losses are more than $1.2 billion, plus the loss of $200 million in preseason games, the total economic losses to labor and management caused by the cancellation of one and a half months of games alone are as high as $1.93 billion.

In addition, the soft loss of audience enthusiasm such as attendance is even more unpredictable, and it will take time to compensate for it.

After a few months of tossing, the players still gave in and would get a 49%-51% share, even if they took the highest 51%, it was only 1% more than the 55% proposed by the management at the beginning. As it turned out, the player's small arms couldn't twist the boss's thighs.

There is one boss whose personality has completely collapsed, and he is Michael Jordan. He was seen as a public enemy and was constantly under fire.

Jordan, as the owner of the Bobcats and the representative of the management, of course he has to think differently from the time he was a player, but fans and players feel that this change is very painful.

In 1998, Jordan, as a player leader, yelled at the owner, "If you can't make money, you should sell the team." Now Jordan has become a representative of the hard-line hawks, uniting more than a dozen bosses to get a contract that makes the players suffer losses, annoying the players who work part-time.

The basketball flyer, who was once admired by everyone, is now dubbed a "hypocrite" and is beginning to be recognized among players.

The Bucks' Paul George shouted in a rage: "Damn Jordan! ”

Nick Young of the Bulls showed a black question mark face after knowing the contents of the contract: "Despicable Jordan, you can go to hell!" ”

At this time, Guo Xu's position as the first person in NBA history was more stable, and more and more fans believed that he was better than Jordan, regardless of his achievements on the court or his character in life. Guo Xu did not participate in the negotiations, at least he will not pit the players.

A total of 70 people are currently playing overseas. Most of these players come with a jump option in their contracts when they sign contracts with overseas teams. Now that the shutdown is over, they can immediately terminate their contract with the team and return to the United States to prepare for the new season.

Players who join China's CBA are unlucky, according to the rules of the Chinese Basketball Association, they are not allowed to have a jump option in the contract when they sign with a CBA team, so they cannot jump out of the contract and return to the United States immediately, at least they have to play the regular season.

The Basketball Association opened a back door to Yi Jianlian, who played for Guangdong, but he could probably only get a base salary in his new contract.

On December 9th, the league became lively, and the teams had to hurry up to make reinforcements, and a big deal immediately appeared.

The Hornets' Chris Paul has been without good teammates, no results, and can't bear to ask for a trade.

The Clippers officially reached a deal with the Hornets, and the Hornets acquired forward Al Aminu, first-round guard Kyrie Irving, and center Chris Carman from the Clippers; The Clippers acquired Chris Paul and two 2015 second-round picks from the Hornets.

Is there anything more cruel than that? Young Irving has been happy for nearly half a year, often fantasizing about playing in Los Angeles for the rest of his life, helping the Clippers overwhelm the Lakers and becoming the No. 1 home team in Los Angeles.

As a result, he was traded without playing a single game for the Clippers, and it was a bolt from the blue. A player starting his career in Los Angeles and starting a career in New Orleans are completely different concepts.

Owen was stimulated to seem to have aged 40 years all of a sudden, and became Uncle Drew......

Clippers management decided that Irving and Griffin were not suitable for the team, they were both too young, and it would be difficult for the two rookies to produce results. Their goal was to compete with the Lakers in Los Angeles, and they weren't sure if Irving could become a star, so they simply sent them away.

Paul has played beautiful statistics for several years in a row, has a lot of experience, and is an excellent instant force. Many experts believe that he is a star point guard second only to Guo Xu in personal ability, but he is seriously underestimated due to the drag of his performance.

Paul is happy with the Clippers' location and is willing to partner with Griffin, who can play pick-and-roll and combine inside and outside. Although the Clippers were not very strong last season and did not make the playoffs for many years, they have good roster potential.

The Clippers' downside is the interior, and after sending away Carman, the center position is gone. Offensive and defensive weak Drew Gooden and second-round rookie Trey Tompkins are both playing power forwards.

Clippers management decisively cut Vince Carter to make room for salary, and then signed Haitian center Daisamuel Lempot for 2 years and 12.7 million.

It's a great value signing, and Durham Porter is a very efficient blue-collar worker. In 2007-08, in 82 games with the Philadelphia 76ers, Dyham Porter averaged 10.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

Carter has a final season left on his contract, which is worth $18.3 million, but only $4 million is partially guaranteed.

According to Carter's contract, as long as the Clippers cut him within 72 hours of the free market opening, they would only need to pay Carter $4 million to buy out his contract, or his contract would be fully guaranteed.

The Clippers roster depth has improved, and the trade has gone smoothly without competition. This time, the Lakers didn't want to dig Paul, their lineup is relatively complete, and they have to pay a big price to dig Paul, and there may not be a good chemistry.

The Warriors also have simple reinforcements, signing big man Radmanovic with a year-end salary who can play two forward positions. Signed Eric Dampier for a year's salary, a blue-collar meat shield.

A team that doesn't have room for a salary can only be strengthened in this way.

Rich Rubio has been offered a rookie contract with the Trail Blazers and will play in the NBA for the next season. They also signed forward Caron Butler for three years and 24 million to make a run of the playoffs next season.

After losing Yao's name, the Rockets signed Marcus Camby and Greg Smith to replace them, and the difference in strength is far from it.

Then the Rockets extended the contracts of Prince and Afflalo, plus Billups has a whopping $14 million contract in the final year, and they have no salary space to poach star centers, and there are no star centers in the free market.

Hayes was poached by the Hornets on a four-year, $21.3 million mid-level contract, and the Rockets lost the 198CM center.

The Hornets decisively gave up "The King" Greg Oden, whose rookie contract expired, and did not even consider a base salary extension. Renewed Oden's contract is not basketball, it is the ability to practice the team doctor's surgery.

Hayes rejected the Rockets' offer for a $2.5 million annual contract extension, and if he had accepted, he would have been 255. The Rockets want to keep Hayes, and Hayes is also interested in staying, but the problem is that Morey's contract is too poor to take him seriously at all.

Teams treat strong interior players as treasures, and Hayes does have a flaw in height, but he doesn't defensively bad, like a weakened version of Ben Wallace. After playing as a starter for a season, he shouldn't just be worth the basic salary.

How scarce is the league's internal line? The Heat have given Eddie Curry, the "little shark" who has been a pit on the Knicks for several years, a non-guaranteed base salary contract, and let him participate in the preseason to prepare for an investigation. The Trail Blazers offered Oden a contract with no guaranteed base salary and wanted to bet that he would return to play next season.

The Rockets contacted the Suns to bring in a substitute Marcin Gortat, so the Suns would not give away the cheap "Polish Hammers", and Brian refused without asking for an offer.

The Suns are probably the league's most devoid of interior players, and Whiteside will have to continue to be a marginal player......
