Chapter 464: Holt breaks the defense, and the alliance is eating?
Although Mr. Pu just lost to the Knicks, he also gave gift money to Curry's wedding, and the news from the league and Marion's remarks on behalf of the players' union also made him stand on the side of the Knicks. 宎
Because the Thunder are the same as the Knicks, and Mr. Pu also likes to develop talent as much as Max.
Instead of using money to pick up fallen peaches.
And why don't you call a player to participate, because that's what the players want to see the most, there's no cap on the salary cap, we're crazy about asking for the price, you just have to look at it, so they're definitely not going to speak for any team.
Just like Marion's proposal, if he wasn't a player, he would never say anything like that.
Mr. Pu also made preparations:
"The NBA discussed a problem at the beginning of its existence and came to the conclusion that a league cannot have only one superstar, nor can it have many superstars, and a moderate number of stars is most beneficial to the commercial value of the league, and the same superteam cannot have one, nor can there be many.
There is no salary cap limit, as long as a team has a wealthy owner, it can continue to invest, regardless of off-court personality compatibility and other issues, there should be no problem in forming an all-star team. 宎
If a team is too strong, it will lead to a decrease in competition and ratings, and other commercial indicators will undoubtedly plummet."
So Mr. Pu is ready to tell the alliance about this point, tell Stern, remind them not to forget their original intentions, and not to forget what they want to do and what they want to do.
If that's the case, then there will be no superstars, everyone is a star with a high salary, and there is no example of a crow turning into a phoenix, which has lost the competitive and creative meaning of the NBA league.
here-Azing-Happens?
The NBA is a place where genius and wonder are born, and they can't be wiped out.
"Good!"
"I agree!" 宎
Jiang Chao also raised his hand to express his approval, because he is also the "beneficiary" of this, no, he has gradually seen the drawbacks of this model.
In the past few years, the NBA ratings have dropped sharply compared to previous years, although there are factors such as the lack of spectacle in the era of softer and softer style of play and three-point players, and it has a lot to do with the fact that the Warriors' exclusive ambassador here-azing-happens lost a lot of suspense in the playoffs.
Everything the Warriors did was under the pay cap rule, and Lagob paid a hefty luxury tax for it.
The salary cap is an important measure to ensure the fairness of small clubs, and avoid the NBA being stuck in a professional football league.
Here, a strong team will not always be a strong team, and the fish belly will also turn over one day.
Our expectations for our home team are inextricably linked to the salary cap.
After all, a boss like the Warrior boss who doesn't care about the luxury tax is rare, and the existence of the luxury tax is equivalent to sending money directly to the league, who wants to send money??? 宎
No matter how rich a person is, he wants to use the money in the right place, so just give it away.
At least Jiang Chao thinks so, he will never touch the luxury tax in the future, maybe his squad salary is going to explode, then he can't bear to cut his love and re-cultivate, NBA players don't look up and see each other, and the breakup is still a friend.
In fact, Jiang Chao felt that if there were two kinds of things that were overflowing, in fact, the meaning of the alliance's existence would be gone.
1: Abolish the salary cap, crazy arms race.
2: Reduce the luxury tax, so that a bunch of bosses don't care about the luxury tax.
It's essentially the same, when teams don't have any shackles in recruiting players, the league is almost finished.
After everyone chatted and discussed, Bird asked Jiang Chao directly: Huh
"Boss Jiang Chao, what do you think about this, are we for or against, or are we skeptical?"
Jiang Chao sighed.
I want to say it but I don't want to say it.
"Eh, you don't know, the trend of the future alliance has nothing to do with this.
」
"If this thing really comes out, the league will be the world of players, and our existence will be meaningless, let the players and the players' agents take care of everything."
"In the future, this league will not be a market for owners and teams to control the trend of transactions."
You have money, you have to have the right team staffing, good coaches, and big enough market. 宎
After all, the group of people who control the game now value a so-called "atmosphere", "culture" and "hometown basketball".
(At this time, Jiang Chao complained in his heart: at least Zhan, Du, Ka, and Jiao have all been realized)
So in the future, if it becomes an era where you can get players for throwing money, regardless of anything, it will be the world of hometown basketball and brother basketball.
Especially those teams with a bad reputation, it is estimated that they will go to ordinary players or similar smells.
It's not like the current market, and it's not particularly good, but at least it's guaranteed that a team has a few star players or an All-Star caliber player, which is the way for all NBA teams to settle down.
It's true that everyone is looking at the stars, but if the stars are all together, the audience will be too crowded, and it will be watched by the stars that fans and friends in some other places don't have.
One person and one city is still very handsome, like the gorilla Ewing has been guarding the Nix before, this is the guardian of a city, behind them, is a city. 宎
However, Jiang Chao suggested that the opposition letter submitted to the alliance should be the opposite, that is, not to mention such consequences, just say that we support this, and then what kind of situation will occur.
For example, when it was rumored that Jiang Chao wanted to rob Durant for 100 million in 3 years, what Lakers, Nets, and Nets would ask for a price!!!!
This example actually existed in later generations, and this life was also by Jiang Chao's side.
There is a team called CSKA Mosk among the Fighting Nations, and their boss is spending money on it and building a strong team.
There is a team in the NBA called the Nets, and in later generations they also threw money like crazy, in exchange for Pierce Garnett Joe John, in exchange for a lot of first-round picks, and the Galaxy Fleet made consecutive first-round or second-round tours.
Both teams, in that period, were owned by Prokhorov.
The Chinese Army doesn't have a pay cap, the Nets do. 宎
That's why the Nets didn't really get to the top of the charts, because they couldn't buy what they wanted with money.
So that's all the information submitted by the Knicks, which is support, and said that they want to strengthen Durant!!
Let's talk about the biggest fish in the free market.
Now it was Mr. Pu's turn to smile bitterly, because he felt that if the salary cap was really canceled, would Jiang Chao really do it?????
And Durant might really go!!
Who doesn't want to go to the Knicks to win the championship, the spotlight and the chic way of playing, every basketball player wants to play there.
And the Knicks forgot to mute for a few minutes during the internal meeting, as if they were saying something to sign a share agreement with the star, and the Knicks will give Durant a three-year guarantee of one point, two championships, three consecutive championships of three points and five points, and have a three-year trade veto, and leave the Knicks to take it back. 宎
This sounds scary, as long as this kind of thing spreads, it will be a big earthquake in the basketball world!!
It's you!
Surpass!!!!!!!!
This crazy boss............ Thinking of this, Mr. Pu was even more determined to join the Spurs and Pacers to stop several other crazy teams in the league.
Surprisingly, Spurs All-Star Duncan even made a statement on social media himself: "If the salary cap is abolished, the big teams will be crazy to buy people, and there will be an unusually large number of superstars. This leads to meaningless results."
The Mavericks' Nowitzki also spoke as a player in response to recent rumors:
"It can be expected that in the future, everyone will sign once a year and every two years, everyone will become an assembly line player, and the feeling of the city is a joke." 宎
Obviously, for veterans like them, they don't want to have no successors on the team in the future, and a group of players a year is not good for cultivating the city's basketball culture
。
And then Jordan even spoke.
Jordan's identity as the god of basketball and the current Bobcat owner, his funds are half a pound and half a tael of the Spurs owner, and he also belongs to the group that has no money, so he is also disgusted.
Jordan:
"Actually, the problem is very obvious, first of all, the abolition of the salary cap is such a thing as a matter that can only be decided by the top of the league!
The second is that if the league abolishes the salary cap, it can't be a small stove for a certain team, and if it is to be canceled, it will be canceled.
Even if the assumptions were true, I think the NBA would be almost history." 宎
This means very simply, the Knicks and Heat have been within the legal and reasonable range in the past two years, and you shouldn't target it like this, this method is self-defeating.
Then the Knicks and the Bulls, Spurs and other opposition groups also got the news.
This proposal is mainly put forward by the teams led by the Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets, and the Lakers want to build luxury ships, and this season Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Rudy Fernandes, McGee, and Goran Dragic are all free agents.
There are also Barbossa, Hibbert, George Hill, who have played well with the Pacers...... While it's all set to renew their contract with the Pacers, who knows what they'll do if the salary cap is lifted?
Not to mention the restricted free man like the Thunder's Durant.
The biggest fish is Durant, and the second is Paul, the same limited Hornets player.
Including the Clippers themselves, Billups, Kenyon Martin, and Nick Young are all due! 宎
If the salary cap is abolished, then they can directly sign a big name casually!!
"The Lakers are dreaming!"
Do you really have to fight for money?
Spell it out!!
Following.
The league's decision to revise the salary cap or even cancel it made headlines to the global news with Sean Marks criticizing Marion to his face, as well as various statements by reporters from various teams.
The NBA has once again dominated the headlines in the offseason! 宎
It also shocked a lot of fans.
This is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!
The Knicks just won the championship, and then the Thunder and the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals and the Heat also had a bunch of players due, so ????
The league doesn't want to play anymore?
"Oh my God, there's no salary cap, this alliance is going to change."
"It's like this, there's no pay cap, everyone is a superstar."
"Yes, small celebrities can be smashed into superstars." 宎
"Some role players definitely have a salary that doesn't match their abilities!"
"Look at the decision of Jiang Chao, the crazy boss and the Heat management, if these two giants are soft, then the league will definitely use this regulation, and the league will be destroyed."
"Business Alliance Stonehammer."
"Originally, it was a small business, but if it did, it would be a complete business alliance."
"It's chilling like this."
"That's right, I didn't expect the alliance to deliberately target like this, absolutely."
"So, what is a Child of Destiny?" 宎
"In the NBA, there is no such thing as a child of destiny, and the Knicks have a good relationship with the league in the first two seasons, and it is not reduced to frost now."
Because in the first three seasons, especially the first season, the league has seen that some game whistles are biased in favor of the Knicks, because who makes the Knicks have more fans.
And the league also needed such a dark horse to challenge the Lakers and challenge the big three promoted by the league at that time, and the way Kuha, Da Yao, Howard and others played was really good.
Mainly this year, the last two games of the Thunder have collapsed."
In the end, it was so easy to win the championship that the league couldn't even react.
That is, even if the bosses do not propose to oppose it, the alliance will oppose it.
"But the Thunder Thunder himself doesn't like to cancel the salary cap." 宎
"Hungry...... do
I don't know what Stern is thinking......
......................
Celestial.
The Basketball Association also indirectly commented on the matter, they just posted a message on their CBA website that the CBA will never cancel the salary cap, that is, slap the NBA in the face first.
Of course...... Although the model is also copied from the NBA, the basic attitude still needs to be there.
Knicks fans protested in the streets, because the NBA headquarters was also in New York, and Spike Lee and the brave Scarlett both led a group of people to block the door.
"Oppose the abolition of the pay cap!" 宎
"Oppose preventing high school students from entering the NBA."
"Oppose the NBA's abolition of the salary cap!"
"Support all the decisions of Boss Jiang Chao!"
"Support the Knicks! Support the walkers!" Pacers fans are following behind, and this year they fought with the Heat until they tied for seven before losing, just waiting for a big fish to compete with the Knicks in the offseason.
On the Spurs' side, RC Buford and Popovich also spoke:
"This is a very stupid decision, our alliance system must be clear and scientific, not just like the crowd, and we have to plan carefully for a few months to enact this rule."
He said it very tactfully, because Spurs owner Holt sells tractors and is one of the poorest owners in the league. 宎
So their management has to stand up and speak, because their owners are definitely not going to burn money to buy players, and they're not saying that they're on the Knicks' side because of Leonard's relationship with Mills, but for their own benefit.
Holt owns the Spurs with less than $200 million in total assets, spends money all the time, and never pays luxury tax.
In recent years, Holt's assets have also stabilized at $200 million, which also makes him the poorest owner in the NBA.
You must know that Jiang Chao spent 1.88 billion on the Knicks 3 years ago.
However, Holt's comfort is that the Spurs' market value has reached 1.5 billion, which is 7 times his value, and if he is willing to sell the Spurs, he may end up with more than that.
Although the Spurs don't have much money in the small ball market, they have a very good record in their previous life, 5 championships in 20 years, and such a team record should be able to earn a lot of money for the Spurs owner, but in recent years, the total assets of Pete Holt, the owner of the Spurs team, have not fluctuated much, and his worth has always remained at about 200 million US dollars.
This really can't be blamed too much, after all, the entrepreneur who made his fortune by building tractors doesn't have much family business, and the market in San Antonio, the city where the Spurs team is located, is not large, so even though the Spurs have been strong for nearly 20 years, Holt has never been able to make a fortune. 宎
The most annoying thing is that when he bought Spurs, he still bought it with 22 investors, which shows how shabby it is...
So Holt broke the defense directly:
"Alliance, you're eating!"
