Chapter 397: Things Are More Complicated (Part 2)
After just 8 hours of war of words within the management, the big city team and the small city team finally reached an agreement and signed an internal distribution agreement.
However, this does not mean that the contradictions between the two sides have disappeared, and this is only a temporary compromise.
On the contrary, both sides are in a highly sensitive state of mind because of the heated argument, and if something happens, the quarrel will definitely happen again.
Just after the meeting, the news came that Paul had been traded to the Lakers.
This was like pouring a bucket of gasoline on the fire that had just been extinguished, and there was still a residual temperature and flame, and the fire exploded in a flash.
The first person to get the message on Twitter was Mark Cuban, who saw Paul go to the Lakers, and that was a thunderstorm.
was about to leave, rushed back to the conference room, and yelled at Stern: "Paul is going to the Lakers!" Is this the concession of big cities to small cities? The stars that the small team worked so hard to cultivate were harvested away by the big city like this? The agreements we made at the meeting are bullshit! It's all bullshit! ”
Kuban looked indignant, you Dallas is not a small city.
Besides, Dallas has never lost any of its superstars in free agency.
Steve Nash is something you don't want yourself, and Nowitzki didn't even think about leaving.
I pay a lot of luxury tax every year, and the attendance rate is also very high, and I won the championship this year.
The reason why Cuban is so popular is, to put it bluntly, that the Lakers will block the Mavericks after getting Paul.
Next season's Mavericks roster is a year older, and this year's championship miracle is almost impossible to replicate.
Can someone like Cuban watch the Lakers rob again and again?
The Hornets have already contributed a Kobe Bryant to you, and another Paul will be contributed to you, right?
The Hornets are the Lakers' superstar training base?
Anyway, I can't bear it, and I can't see the Lakers.
In addition to Cuban, other teams, especially small team owners, think so.
The meeting had already ended, and the big guys returned after getting a break and began to attack Stern.
Stern endured eight hours at the convention, smiling in the face of all kinds of questioning and persecution.
It's easy to endure the results, and get the results, who knows that the peak turns around, and TM has an accident!
The collective bargaining was a real drain on David Stern.
Six months of back-and-forth tug-of-war negotiations.
Tremendous pressure from all sides after the shutdown.
Seeing that the shutdown was coming to an end, negative news about the rigging of the game broke out.
Stern was criticized by public opinion, and the pressure increased again.
On the verge of despair, Donasee was shot, setting up a murder mystery that shook the nation.
Things have developed to this point, and finally whether it is extremely Tailai has given the two sides a step and contributed to the success of the negotiation.
However, the successful negotiation between labor and management is not enough, and there are many contradictions within the management.
It's easy to spend a lot of effort to level the inside of the management, and the Lakers have blown up again with a robbery transaction!
In the face of the bosses' questioning, shouting, and questioning, Stern, the old man, finally reached his physical and mental limits.
He still tried to suppress his temper, coordinate well, and then discuss with the people in the office how to deal with it.
Because the Hornets are now in league escrow, the league can veto the deal.
But just as Stern stood up and wanted to explain, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his brain immediately lost consciousness, and his whole body fell backwards.
Everyone was stunned all of a sudden, and the president fainted directly?
Don't faint, you won't be gone, right?
Min Congda was sitting not far from Stern.
He didn't have much to say, and it was beyond his imagination that things had come to this point.
What's even more unexpected is that Stern fell down all of a sudden, and Min Congda was the first to react and shouted: "Call 911!" Let the paramedics in! Fast! ”
After all, Stern is a 70-year-old man, and there are more or less cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems at this age.
After this series of ups and downs, tonight's Chris Paul trade was the last straw that overwhelmed him.
Several bosses panicked all of a sudden, not knowing what to do, if this Stern died, the NBA would have a big deal this time.
Two people died in a shutdown, a referee and a president, and it was quite explosive when you look at the entire history of professional sports in North America.
Seeing that Stern was likely to have had a stroke, Min told everyone else to dodge, took Stern out of his chair and laid him flat on the floor, unbuttoning his tie and shirt to keep his breath open.
Soon the hotel's medical staff came to the venue, and after a brief examination, it was confirmed that he had indeed had a stroke, and he was immediately put on a stretcher and sent to the hospital for first aid.
Stern was sent away, the venue was in shambles, and no one expected things to get to this point.
Naturally, the bosses couldn't leave, and they all went to the City Hospital of New York to wait for the news of Stern's rescue.
The news that Stern had suffered a stroke and fainted during the negotiations immediately made headlines.
Netizens are also amazed, what happened to this year's NBA?
Min Congda and 28 other team representatives came to the hospital to wait for news.
On one side, Stern's fate is uncertain, and on the other hand, the bosses have begun to discuss who will choose the next president.
Theoretically, Adam Silva is being groomed as a successor.
Once Stern retires, he will definitely push Silva to become the new president.
Whether it is the respect for Stern or the trust in Stern's vision, the position of the next president is basically certain.
But after this accident, it's hard to say whether there will be any variables.
Because according to Stern's schedule, he originally planned to announce his retirement plan at the end of next year.
At that time, he will declare Adam Silva as his successor and the next NBA commissioner.
Once he made a statement at the press conference, everything was in order, and all Stern had to do was help Silva get on the horse, give him a ride, and retire in peace.
As a result, there was less than 1 year left before his plan, and something like this happened.
Everyone knows that Silva is cultivated according to the heir, but it is never officially announced.
After all, Stern and the bosses also have to observe and inspect Silva.
As soon as Stern can't wake up, there will be a sudden rattle, and there will be suspense for the new president.
There will definitely be a vote at that time, and several of the current vice presidents will have a chance.
Of course, the bosses are tempted to join forces to support the president who is beneficial to him.
Things get more complicated.
Just when everyone was pregnant with ghosts, the doctor in the emergency room came out.
"Mr. Stern is out of danger and his life is fine, but he needs a good rest."
Stern was still alive, and everyone was relieved and a little disappointed.
And what about the Hornets trade with the Lakers and the Rockets?
What should I do?
These bosses aren't going to give up just because Stern has had a stroke.
The pressure is on Adam Silva's shoulders.
Some people died, but not completely......
