NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 283 Sign Rodman

Pippen's departure caused the Bulls' strength to decline sharply.

If it's just that you can't beat the king, then it's okay to say...

What I am most afraid of is that if he doesn't even make it to the finals, then Jordan's fame will be completely ruined.

In addition to Pippen's departure, Rodman has not given the Bulls an answer right now, and he seems to be out of his mind.

If the Bulls' Iron Triangle goes straight away, even if Jordan is really a god, I'm afraid there is absolutely no hope of winning the Kings, and it is even unlikely that he will lead the team to the finals alone.

In addition to seeing no hope of winning, the most important thing is that the current negotiations between the players union and the league are in trouble.

Seeing what Stern means, this year, no matter what, the maximum salary regulations for players must be introduced.

If the maximum salary regulation is not implemented, there may be a situation like Jordan in the future, where the salary of one person is higher than the salary cap of the entire team.

If this situation continues for a long time, it will definitely not be a good thing for the development of the alliance.

Stern's will is extremely resolute. Based on Jordan's understanding of Stern, it is estimated that there is definitely no room for change in this matter.

Once the maximum salary regulations are introduced, it will definitely be impossible for Jordan to get an annual salary of 3000 million in the future.

If you have no hope of winning and can't make a lot of money, why stay in the league?Just retire.

……

The current chairman of the NBA Players Union is Ewing, the head of the Knicks.

Ewing is currently leading the players union, fighting against Stern's maximum salary regulations.

But the embarrassing thing is that not everyone in the players union buys Ewing's protest, and some players are actually more inclined to let the maximum salary regulations be introduced.

Only by restricting the salaries of top players, can these middle and low-level players get higher salaries.

The cake is only that big in total, and the boss's money is not blown by the wind, so he can't keep losing money and making money.

The top stars get more money, and the middle and lower players get less money.

So even within the players union, many people supported Stern this time.

But they are not union leaders, they are Ewing...

During the offseason of last season, Ewing just took the position of chairman of the union. It can be said that he completely represents the interests of top players.

Ewing's previous union chairman was the famous buck Buck Williams, who served as chairman for three years.

It may be that the league has not conducted salary negotiations in the past three years, so the chairman of the Bucks does not have much sense of presence, and it is not clear whether he is a representative of middle and low-level players or a representative of top players.

Buck Buck was the smiling assassin Thomas before. It can be said that Thomas should be the most dedicated union chairman in the entire NBA history.

His position is completely on the side of middle and low-level players, seeking benefits for these people.

The essence of the trade union is to serve the majority, and only serve the few top stars. What kind of trade union is it...

On the other hand, Ewing has almost become the spokesperson of top stars. If he is killed, he disagrees with Stern's maximum salary regulations, and he can say nothing.

Maybe Ewing still hopes that at this age, he will follow Jordan's example and get a super salary...

Because of Ewing's insistence, both labor and salary directly fell into a stalemate.

Looking at the current situation, Davidson feels that whether the next season can start normally is a problem.

Sure enough, starting in July, the players union led the players to start a strike, and the scale was not too large.

As for Stern's powerful character, he said on TV that NBA players earn enough, and he didn't take the strike seriously at all, which directly made the scale of the strike a lot bigger.

The two sides are now competing with each other, and no one will let go.

Davidson was very speechless. According to the development of this situation, the new season may really be suspended.

After Davidson entered the league, this is actually the second player union strike.

The last time was in 95, when Buck Buck was the chairman, but this strike did not affect the progress of the new season, and the two sides reached an agreement before the start of the season.

And judging from the scale of the strike this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to negotiate.

The current situation has nothing to do with Davidson.

Regardless of how the players strike, Davidson's salary will not be less than a dime.

The negotiations between the players union and the owners have nothing to do with coaches like Davidson, so Davidson doesn't bother to get involved.

The players under him are willing to participate in the strike, so let him go.

Now Davidson has a very bold plan, which is very important for the Grizzlies in the new season.

Get Rodman from the Bulls!

I have been friends with Rodman for more than ten years. In fact, both of them really want to play together, but there is no suitable opportunity for one team.

And now with Jordan retiring, the opportunity has arisen.

It just so happens that there are no decent blue-collar insiders in the Grizzlies. If Rodman comes, he will definitely solve the urgent need!
The most important thing is that in today's league, apart from himself, not many teams dare to give Rodman a big contract.

Rodman's character is a big problem, but it's not such a problem when Davidson is around.

Rodman was quite patient with Dad and Davidson.

Thinking of this, Davidson called Rodman without hesitation.

"Dennis, do you want to come to Vancouver?" Davidson didn't talk to Rodman politely, they were so familiar.

Rodman on the other end of the phone immediately laughed. At that moment just now, he was about to call Davidson to talk about this matter, but Davidson took the initiative to call.

"Wilson, what do you think?" Rodman laughed.

"Okay, then it's a deal. If you don't go to the strike, come to Vancouver in the near future. Let's talk about the contract first." Davidson joked.

"Strike? I'm not in the mood. I'm going to relax this offseason. The three years in the Bulls have been really tormented."

"Let's talk about the contract in two months. Anyway, you can't treat me badly."

"Of course, I won't open my mouth like a lion, about 200 million is enough, and it doesn't need too much."

Rodman treated Davidson very patiently. If someone else called him, he would probably hang up after a few words.

After negotiating with Rodman, Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, the problem of the blue-collar inside was solved so easily.

It is quite a bargain to get a historic blue-collar insider like Rodman for only 200 million US dollars.

Of course, Davidson is also very clear that Rodman actually does not have a big market in today's league.

One is a personality issue, that is, the Bulls are under pressure from Jordan, and Rodman wants to win, so they can get along relatively peacefully.

If it comes to other teams, Rodman may cause some trouble.

Under normal circumstances, Rodman actually announced his retirement this offseason.

No one could have imagined that Rodman would go directly to work as a reporter after retiring.

Who would believe it, Rodman is a reporter...

After working for about three months, maybe because I felt that I was really not a reporter, then Rodman went to Los Angeles and joined the Lakers with a PY price of 60 US dollars.

Last season, Rodman still had the strength of the top blue-collar players in the league. Under normal circumstances, the price would definitely not be so low.

The reason for signing such a low price is that the daughter of the Lakers owner, Jenny Buss, played a big role.

Rumor has it Rodman is having an affair with Jenny Buss...
