Chapter 280 Sign Rodman
Pippen's departure caused the Bull's strength to decline significantly.
If you just can't beat the king, it's okay...
What I fear most is that I didn’t even make the finals, and Jordan’s lifetime reputation was completely ruined.
In addition to Pippen leaving, Rodman has not given the Bulls a reply at the moment, and it seems that he is also interested in losing his mind.
If the Bulls Iron Triangle leaves two directly, even if Jordan is really a god, he will probably have no hope of winning the King, and it is unlikely that he will even lead the team to the finals alone.
In addition to not seeing hope of winning, the most important thing is that the current negotiations between the players' union and the league are in trouble.
Judging from Stern's meaning, this year, the maximum salary regulations for billiards will be issued no matter what.
If the maximum salary regulations are not implemented, there may be situations like Jordan, where a person's salary is higher than the entire team's salary cap.
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 firm. With Jordan's understanding of Stern, there is definitely no room for improvement in this matter.
Once the maximum salary regulations are issued, it will definitely be impossible for Jordan to earn an annual salary of 30 million in the future.
If you don’t have hope of winning and can’t make a lot of money, why don’t you stay in the league? Just retire.
...
The current chairman of the NBA Players Union is Ewing, the Knicks boss.
Ewing is currently leading the Player Union to fight Stern’s maximum salary regulations.
But what is embarrassing is that not everyone in the player union buys Ewing's struggle, and some players are actually more inclined to let the maximum salary regulations be introduced.
Only by limiting the salary of top players can they get higher salaries, such as middle and low-level players.
The cake is so big in total, and the boss’s money is not blown by the strong wind, so you can’t keep losing money and gaining publicity.
If the top stars take more money, the middle and lower-level players will naturally get less money.
So even within the Players' Union, there are many people supporting Stern this time.
But they are not union owners**** is Ewing...
Ewing just took the position of union chairman during the offseason last season. It can be said that he completely represents the interests of top players.
Ewing's previous union president was the famous Bucks Buck Williams, who worked as the chairman for three years.
It may be that the league has not negotiated wages in the past three years, so the Bucks don’t have much presence, and it is hard to say whether he is a representative of middle and lower-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 conscientious union chairman in the entire NBA history.
His position is completely to stand on the side of middle and lower-level players and seek benefits for these people.
The trade union essentially serves the majority of people, just serving the few top stars, is it still a trade union...
On the other hand, Ewing has almost become the spokesperson for top stars. He was beaten to death and did not agree with Stern's maximum salary regulations and said nothing.
Maybe Ewing is still looking forward to getting a super salary at this age, imitating Jordan...
Because of Ewing's insistence, both the labor and wage parties were directly in a stalemate.
Judging from the current situation, Davidson feels that it is a question whether the next season can start normally.
Sure enough, starting from July, the players' union led the players to strike, which was not very large.
Stern's powerful personality said on TV that NBA players have made enough money and did not take the strike seriously at all, which directly made the strike a lot bigger.
Both sides are competing now and no one lets go.
Davidson was speechless. If this situation continues, the new season may be really suspended.
After Davidson entered the league, this was actually the second player union strike.
The last time was in 1995, when Bucks 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.
Judging from the scale of this strike, it is estimated that it is difficult to reach an agreement.
The current situation has nothing to do with Davidson.
No matter how the players go on strike, Davidson's salary will not be less.
The negotiations between the players' union and the bosses have nothing to do with coaches like Davidson, so Davidson is too lazy to get involved.
The players under his command are happy to participate in the strike, so let him go.
Davidson now has a pretty bold plan, which is very important for the Grizzlies in the new season.
Dig Rodman from the Bulls!
I have been in love with Rodman for more than ten years, but both of them really want to play basketball together, but there is no suitable opportunity for a team.
And now with Jordan retirement, opportunities have emerged.
It just so happens that there is no decent blue-collar insider in the Grizzlies now. If Rodman comes, he will definitely solve his urgent problem!
The most important thing is that in today's league, there are probably not many teams who dare to give Rodman a big contract except for themselves.
Rodman's personality is a big problem, but if he is with Davidson, it will not be a problem.
Rodman is quite patient with his father and Davidson.
Thinking of this, Davidson called Rodman without hesitation.
"Dennis, do you want to come to Vancouver?" Davidson didn't politely with Rodman, he was so familiar with him.
Rodman on the other end of the phone was laughing. At that moment, he was about to call Davidson to talk about this, but Davidson took the initiative to call him.
"Wilson, what do you think?" Rodman smiled.
"Okay, that's all. If you don't go to the strike, you'll come to Vancouver soon. Let's talk about the contract first." Davidson quipped.
"Strike? I don't feel that way. I'm ready to relax this offseason. It's really a torment for the Bulls in the past three years."
"I'll talk about the contract matter in two months. Anyway, you can't treat me badly."
"Of course, I won't speak loudly, it's enough for about two million, and there's no need to be too much."
Rodman was very patient with Davidson. If someone else called him, he would probably die if he couldn't say a few words.
After reaching an agreement with Rodman, Davidson breathed a sigh of relief and the problem of blue-collar workers in the inside line was easily solved.
It is really cost-effective to get a historical blue-collar insider like Rodman for only two million US dollars.
Of course, Davidson also knew very well that Rodman actually did not have much market in the league today.
One is a personality problem, that is, the Bulls are under pressure with Jordan, and Rodman wants to win, so they can get along more peacefully.
If you go to other teams, Rodman might cause some trouble.
Under normal circumstances, Rodman announced his retirement this offseason.
No one could have thought that Rodman went to be a reporter after retirement.
Who dares to believe it? Rodman is a reporter...
After working for about three months, it may feel that I am not a reporter, so Rodman went to Los Angeles and joined the Lakers at a py price of 600,000 US dollars.
Rodman had the strength of the league's top blue-collar workers last season. Under normal circumstances, the price would definitely not be so low.
The reason why the Lakers boss’s daughter Jenny Bass played a big role in signing such a low price.
It is said that Rodman and Jenny Buss have an affair...
