At the end of the finals, the Knicks won the NBA championship again, and Zhou Mubai won the second regular season MVP and FMVP Grand Slams!

While the championship parade was still being planned, Donny Walsh and James Dolan came to the door.

Their purpose is to renew the contract with Zhou Mubai in advance.

James Dolan has a wide range of people and learned from some news channels that the league intends to formulate a Zhou Mubai clause. He knows a little about the content of the clause, which makes James Dolan feel a great sense of crisis while being furious.

Of course, James Dolan didn't care about the so-called relaxation of Zhou Mubai's length and the amount of the contract signed. What he cared about was that the league released its malice against the Knicks.

Stern has always been a loyal supporter of the Knicks, but this time he has to attack the Knicks, which makes James Dolan feel betrayal and also makes him alert.

Once the league's intentions make other teams know that they will pounce on like a shark smelling blood. They will definitely want Zhou Mubai to take action. In order to attack the Knicks, they will even snatch other Knicks' people at high prices, such as Chandler and Yao Ming who have arrived during the contract period.

Yes, although Zhou Mubai is very strong, they may not be able to snatch Zhou Mubai's helper away. No matter how strong Zhou Mubai is, he is still alone.

In fact, James Dolan's concerns were not wrong, and someone took action soon.

Dallas quotes Tyson Chandler, they quoted with maximum salary, which immediately forced the Knicks into a corner. If the Knicks wanted to keep Chandler, they had to offer more quotes than they did.

The Miami Heat offered a high price to ask Yao Ming. Yao Ming's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals defeated the Heat, making Pat Riley Xiading determined to pursue Yao Ming.

Kevin Martin has more suitors, and the Rockets, Lakers, Mavericks, Spurs, Heat and other teams all extend olive branches. The price is not outrageous, but it is absolutely attractive to Martin.

The free market opens in summer.

Kevin Martin and the Knicks were signed first and joined the Houston Rockets, which was considered to bring some benign assets to the Knicks.

At the draft, the Houston Rockets intercepted Kawhi Leonard with the No. 14 pick, and Popovich smashed his punch on the chair? He whispered: "Morey, a vampire!" But he quickly sent a message to Morey: "I want to trade Leonard with Hill."

Popovich pursed his lips and waited for news? After a while, the phone lit up: "He already has a next home."

The next player is naturally the Knicks. The Knicks convinced Martin to sign first and then exchange? The Knicks and the Rockets have reached a deal? The Rockets used Scola, rookies Leonard and Dragic to add some cash transactions Kevin Martin!

This deal is still a bit surprising.

Scola is a good inside player, and Dragic is not bad either? Leonard is a rookie, and he can only say that his potential is good? But Martin is a player with close to the All-Star skills? His performance in the playoffs is very outstanding. The Knicks actually traded him?

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Klay Thompson with the 10th pick. Bob Myers, the new general manager of the Golden State Warriors, looked frustrated. The Klay Thompson he wanted the most was intercepted? He quickly contacted the Bucks to negotiate a deal? The Bucks general manager told him that he had reached an agreement with other teams.

And this team is naturally the Knicks.

In order to poach Chandler, the Mavericks asked the Bucks to choose Klay Thompson with the No. 10 draw, then Chandler and the Knicks signed first and then exchanged. The Bucks sent Klay Thompson and Bogut. The Knicks sent Chandler to the Mavericks? The Bucks got Marion.

There is nothing to do about Tyson Chandler being poached by the calf. Kuban's money-spending skills are already full? Chandler cannot tolerate him being moved, but Chandler is still a little guilty about Zhou Mubai? He accepted the method of signing first and then changing to help Zhou Mubai.

Jamison felt that the two championship rings were almost the same and he couldn't move too much? Announcing his retirement.

Yao Ming checked his body again after the finals? He found a stress fracture of the sole of his foot? The doctor announced that Yao Ming would be reimbursed next season, but Yao Ming could accept it. He was able to win a championship. His wish was fulfilled and his contract had expired, so he simply announced his retirement.

Now the Knicks' lineup won four important players: Kevin Martin, Yao Ming, Jamison and Chandler.

The only ones who can play in the team are Sbetts, Tony Allen, Channing Fry, Korver, Iguodala, Sean Williams and Zhou Mubai, and the rest are Scola who are new deals, rookies Leonard and Dragic and Klay Thompson.

However, in the eyes of other teams, the Knicks' strength has been severely weakened. Although the Knicks are still a strong team next season, they are no longer a super strong team.

Now the players the Knicks can determine are:

On the number one position are: Zhou Mubai and Dragic;

The second position is: Klay Thompson, Tony Allen, Korver;

No. 3: Iguodala, Leonard;

No. 4: Channing Fry, Sean Williams, Sbetts;

No.5: Bogut and Scola.

Now there are only 12 people on the team list, and the team will generally gather fifteen people to prevent injuries from happening. Zhou Mubai will ignore the next thing. In his opinion, it should be enough for such people. Let Donny Walsh find others. He wants to go on vacation first.

Since he entered the league, he has been training every day and has to work hard to fight with others. Although playing basketball is very happy, life should not be just basketball, right?

On July 1, 2011, on the last day when the old labor-management agreement was still in effect, the labor-management parties held the last negotiation. This time, there were still huge differences between the two sides and no agreement was reached.

Therefore, NBA officially came to an end on July 1, 2011.

The shutdown did not end so soon, so he could play with it.

During the shutdown, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings and coaching gatherings.

Therefore, Zhou Mubai can no longer touch on basketball things, so it is better to have fun.

Zhou Mubai quietly returned to China, eating and drinking everywhere, and what he had to eat was in China.

It took more than a month to go around this circle. During this period, Donny Walsh reported the shutdown to Zhou Mubai from time to time. Although both labor and capital were still active, the interests involved were too great and could not be negotiated in a short while.

The labor and capital still have huge differences on major issues such as the "hard wage cap" system and "interest distribution". The players are willing to agree to a proposal to reduce the total salary by $500 million in five years, but they refuse to accept the $62 million hard wage cap proposed by the investors.

The investors hope to reach a 10-year agreement at the same time to ensure that annual salary expenditure does not exceed US$2 billion (this number has reached 2.17 billion this season). The 10-year labor-capital agreement is unacceptable to players.
Chapter completed!
