Life goes up and down too fast, it's too exciting.

That's how Isaiah Thomas felt.

He wanted to wait until after his senior year to enter the NBA, but due to an injury to his teammates, he was afraid that he would not be able to make it to the NCAA tournament next season, and he was forced to run a year early.

He did well in rookie camp and several teams tried him out. Officially, it was predicted that he would be drafted in the first few rounds of the second round, and the harsh reality poured cold water on his head, and he didn't expect to wait so long for his name to be read out by Stern.

When he was about to despair, he heard his name and was still chosen by the king.

After being stunned for two seconds, he jumped up from the sofa excitedly, and it was like winning the jackpot!

As long as there is a chance to show, he is confident that he will stay with the king. Even if you are a marginal person, you may win a championship next season, and what could be better than playing next to two superstars? He believes there is a lot to learn.

Moore had the same idea, he had to find a way to stay. He is 193CM tall, weighs 92 kg, has a two-way guard, average physical fitness and organizational ability, and has the advantage of being able to shoot.

It is very difficult for Moore to stay, there are Wang Jun and Lei Allen in the No. 2 position, how can there be other substitutes? Unless he transitions to point guard or the star gets injured, he doesn't stand a chance.

There aren't many instant trades on draft day, the league is going to shut down, many teams are waiting, and there are three big trades.

The Trail Blazers sent veteran Andre Miller to the Nuggets and got Raymond Felton.

The Spurs sent point guard George Hill to the Pacers' 14th pick rookie swingman Cowie Leonard.

The Mavericks sent Jordan Hamilton, the No. 26 rookie who had just been drafted, to the Thunder in exchange for Spanish demon Rudy Fernandez.

Just after the draft, Wang Jun received a call from former Lakers player Derrick Fisher, hoping that he could participate in labor negotiations together.

Fisher had a calm face and a rational, negotiating voice. He spoke like a coach, a spokesperson, so he became the president of the players' union.

"Wang, if you participate in the negotiations and express some opinions, maybe the agreement can be finalized more quickly and it will be convenient for you to meet?"

"No, I don't think so." Wang Jun refused, he was not interested in this matter at all.

"Why?"

"I'm going to make a movie, I don't understand this, it's better not to participate."

"It's a big deal for all the players, if it's a shutdown and the games are reduced, and you're affected, don't you care?"

"I'll do something else when it's stopped, and when the game starts, I'm busy." Wang Jun smiled and said: "If I don't fight, I will mix Hollywood in the future." ”

"......" Fisher was directly speechless.

I rub, do you mean it's okay if the NBA is gone?

Some of the words he had thought of to persuade Wang Jun before were useless, and the conspiracy was aborted.

Wang Jun's idea is too simple, if he doesn't understand, he won't participate.

His contract is all negotiated by agent Ryan Hughes, and let him be the representative to talk about other players to talk about salaries? It's unreliable when you think about it.

People who don't understand can make things worse if they talk nonsense, such as Ewing, the union president of the year.

In the summer of 1998, Ewing put labor at a disadvantage by speaking out in public.

At the time, Stern said: "NBA players' salaries are already too high compared to ordinary people, and they shouldn't be asking for more." ”

Ewing can answer in countless ways, only to say the most mindless of things. "Yes, we earn a lot, but we also spend a lot."

This phrase led the American audience to not sympathize with the players at all, believing that it was nothing more than "a game of profit-sharing between multimillionaires and billionaires." In the end, the two sides were deadlocked until February 1999, when the labor side bowed their heads and signed the agreement, and each team played only 50 games.

Wang Jun was involved, and if he was not careful, he would be calculated and carried the black pot, and the people who calculated him were the president and Fisher.

The NBA's collective bargaining began two years ago.

On August 5, 2009, the NBA and the players' union held the first negotiations on the new collective bargaining agreement, which lasted three and a half hours.

In January 2010, Stern pushed for a "hard wage cap" clause after negotiations resumed, which the coalition said was an effort to save wages.

The hard salary cap refers to the maximum amount of salary that the team can use, and no one can sign at this range.

The salary cap means that the team has to pay a certain luxury tax, and players can be added to this range, but only the minimum salary can be signed, and the rest depends on the trade.

The introduction of a hard salary cap is indeed good for curbing star groups, but not many people support it.

In the same month, it was also reported that the management wanted to significantly reduce the salary of players and the maximum length of the contract in the new collective bargaining clause negotiations, including cutting the current collective bargaining clause in which the player's income does not exceed 57% of basketball-related income to no more than 45%, which means that the average salary of players will fall by about 21%. Negotiations between the two sides broke out unhappily.

In December 2010, the players' union demanded that all NBA players authorize the disqualification of union representatives and dissolve the players' union, intending to threaten the owners with a new collective bargaining agreement with the players' union as soon as possible.

The measure, known as the "weapon of doom", would be dissolved if authorized by the players. Under U.S. law, dissolving a union would forfeit players from all union protections, but players could use antitrust laws to sue team owners and challenge the league's salary limits and player trade restrictions. And if the union is not dissolved, they can only sue the boss under labor law.

Of course, this kind of nonsense didn't happen, the All-Star players have huge contracts, so they won't make a fuss together, and the players can't be united.

On May 27, the NBA players' union formally filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Labor Arbitration Board, accusing the NBA of using intimidation and threats to force the players' union to sign a new collective bargaining agreement that was unfavorable to the players.

On June 7 and 8 this year, two meetings were held between labor and management, and no substantive breakthrough was made.

Fisher, the president of the players' union, is suspected of being an "undercover agent" for management, and his relationship with Stern is worth scrutinizing.

In fact, Fisher was indeed an undercover agent, promising Stern that he would persuade the union to accept the 55-5 share offer, which he had been working on to reduce the player share by 7 percent.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among some of the union's management, who demanded that Fisher reevaluate the proposal for a 55-5 split on Friday morning, before a new round of negotiations began.

The guild president of the year, Michael Curry, was Stern's pawn. He was President of the Players' Union from July 2001 to June 2005.

On 21 June 2005, a new agreement was reached between the employer and the management. A week later, Curry stepped down from the players' union. In September of the same year, Stern announced Curry as vice president of the NBDL. In August 2006, Stern promoted Curry again and appointed him as the NBA's vice president in charge of basketball-related affairs.

The waters of the league and the players' guild are too deep, and they are not good people.

Wang Jun's non-participation is the most correct choice, Fisher is very insidious, and he wants to pull Wang Jun to the front desk to attract firepower.

Wang Jun and the king's boss Vivek are well-known to have a good relationship, as long as Fisher fools Wang Jun into saying a few good words for the management, he will become the target of public criticism as soon as he expresses his position.

The Lakers were abused very badly by the King, which caused Fisher to be unable to mix with the Lakers in the middle of the period, and he wanted to block Wang Jun.

It's a pity that Fisher only has a careful eye, and he can't compare to Wang Jun's directness, so he can only continue to toss by himself.
