Just as the Orlando people were immersed in the joy of winning the championship, some keen fans also realized that a huge problem was placed in front of the Magic - renewing the contract with Wu Feng!

If the Magic Team wants to establish a huge dynasty, they must not be separated from Wu Feng. [w...

｜I｜|】Although the 1011 season was only Wu Feng's first season, his performance shocked the entire league.

A Chinese son shone brightly in his first season, and even almost overshadowed superstars such as Kobe and James.

Especially in the second half of the regular season and the playoffs, he performed even better. It is even possible that without Wu Feng, the Magic would not be able to reach the height of winning the championship. Whether he can overcome the three Heats is a problem.

Therefore, renewing Wu Feng's contract became the Magic's next top priority.

However, since the end of the regular season, Wu Feng and his team have not intended to renew their contract with the Magic, which has made fans in the Magic and the entire Orlando City anxious.

The Magic team is currently financially capable of renewing Wu Feng, and they can even provide Wu Feng with amazing big contracts. However, Wu Feng and his team have been slow to renew their contracts.

Since the 20102011 season was Wu Feng's first season, and he signed with the Magic with a minimum salary for one year. After the end of this season, he became a restricted free agent.

Moreover, his next contract renewal is subject to the terms of Arenas.

Arenas Terms are suitable for everything in n

a restricted free agent who has been in charge for 12 years, the salary of the newly signed contract shall not exceed the middle class clause of the year (the original team of the second round rookie can match any contract as long as the middle class special case is available). This method limits the salary of the first year to ensure that the player's first team can provide the player with corresponding contracts by citing the Big Bird clause or the middle class clause.

The salary in the second year of this contract is subject to a maximum increase of 8%; the salary in the third year can be greatly increased, which can be the highest salary that the team can provide for executing the option, and is not subject to the average salary rule.

After the third season, the maximum salary increase is 6.9% in the third year. If the maximum salary that the team can provide does not violate the regulations of the previous two seasons, the contract can only indicate the maximum salary increase in the third season.

At the same time, the salary provided in the contract must be guaranteed and does not include any other form of bonus.

If the third year increase exceeds the 8% standard, the United will set an additional limit for the team. In order to be able to determine the maximum salary that the team can pay, they not only confirm whether the first year's salary meets the standards, but they must confirm that the average salary throughout the contract period is lower than the maximum salary.

For example, suppose the Magic have 8 million US dollars in the maximum salary. They must ensure that the total amount of the three-year contract does not exceed 24 million, 3200 in four years, and 40 million in five years. If the contract does not state that the increase in the third year can be higher than 8% of the salary in the first year, the team can only control the salary in the first year below the maximum salary.

To sum up, if the Magic team is 11 million US dollars away from the maximum salary, he wants to provide Wu Feng with a five-year contract, of which the salary in the third year will increase significantly, and the total salary he can provide is 55 million.

If the average salary is 5 million, then the second year is 5.4 million. There is still 44.6 million left to allocate to the remaining three years. In the fourth year, the increase in the fifth year is 6.9%, and the final contract is like this: 500 in the first year, 540 in the second year. 8% increase from the first year, 3rd year., 6.9% increase from the third year, 5th year.

Of course, if the Magic Team provides such a contract to Wu Feng, it seems a bit insincere.

What's more, after the 20102011 season, it was not only the Magic team who wanted to recruit Wu Feng to the team. Nearly ten teams in the entire league wanted to sign Wu Feng, and even some super strong teams.

However, after winning the championship, the Magic faced more than just a headache-increasing contract with Wu Feng.

There is another big problem not only that the Magic team has to face, but also that the entire League has to face.

As early as the East and West Championships were all produced this season, n

a, but there was a bad news.

According to Yahoo Sports,

aThe Players' Union has officially filed a lawsuit with the US labor arbitration agency, accusing n

a Intimidation and threats are used in the new labor-management negotiations to force the players to sign a new labor-management agreement that is unfavorable to the players.

Since labor-management disputes have gone to court, if the court intervenes in the matter, labor-management negotiations will enter a long legal process, meaning that n

The suspension of a is almost a foregone conclusion.

In the view of the Players' Union,

a. The real purpose is to force the joint shutdown after July 1st arrives and the current labor contract expires.

The shutdown will cause n

A team can avoid paying players' salaries and other expenses caused by contracts. At the same time, the suspension can also cause conflicts among the players, thereby achieving the goal of dismantling the opponent's line.

In addition, the Players' Union also pointed out that

a does not provide enough financial data to prove the economic situation that it declares, and n

a also attempts to bypass the union and negotiate directly with the players.

The players' union believes that

A's attitude is "either accept or get out". For this reason, the players' union filed a lawsuit when they can't bear it.

The Player Union has urged the U.S. Labor Relations Commission to quickly intervene in the matter and provide legal relief. However, the U.S. Labor Relations Commission generally takes 30 to 90 days to understand the whole story.

After the review, if the U.S. Labor Relations Commission believes that the player union’s lawsuit is justified, it will try to

a negotiated a good solution. If the settlement cannot be reached, a trial will be held, which may take one year or more, so n

a. The suspension is almost a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, if n

a. If the contract renewal of Wu Feng will be stranded. Because during the suspension period, n

a No team is allowed to negotiate and sign contracts with any player, including trading players.

Of course, Wu Feng has not made any clear attitude at the moment, so many teams in the league have shown a wait-and-see attitude.

In addition, everyone is waiting, waiting

a officially entered a shutdown. If the labor and management parties do not reach an agreement before July 1, then n

a will officially enter a shutdown.

…………

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.

So, n

a officially closed down on July 1, 2011. At this point, two of the four major sports leagues in the United States have been suspended this year. In March 2011, the NFL announced the suspension of NFL, and now the NFL team in the United States is now in the NFL team.

a also followed the footsteps of nfl.

During the shutdown, n

a players will not receive salary, n

A team cannot negotiate with players, nor can they sign and trade players.

At the same time, 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. In addition, n

a Team station can no longer use the image of the player, and cannot use the player as a representative of publicity.

A President David Stern said in an interview with the media, "Thank you for appreciating n

The past year has been a great year for the fans of the A game. However, for the bosses of the team, even such a great season, they are still unprofitable. The teams in those cities have not enjoyed this kind of fun at all. Our goal is to make the operation of the United more cost-effective and make all the 30 teams in the United team competitive."

A Vice President Adam Silva also asked a question from a reporter: "The just-expired labor-capital agreement is not a win-win system. That agreement has caused our team to suffer huge financial losses. We need a business model that can be developed continuously, so that all 30 teams have the opportunity to compete for the championship, pay the players reasonable salary and obtain considerable economic returns under good management."

Although the shutdown has occurred, neither the labor and management side will let it go. The two sides will continue to meet and negotiate in the next two weeks.

At present, the United Nations has announced that it will no longer hold the summer league, but if the labor and capital cannot reach a consensus quickly,

A loss will not only be the summer league, but also preseason and training camps that start in October, and regular seasons that start at the end of October.

At present, both 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 US$500 million within 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 the annual salary expenditure does not exceed US$2 billion. The 10-year labor-cap agreement is unacceptable to players.

Next, the labor and management sides will continue to negotiate on these major differences.

Wu Feng, who is still in the media's focus, also talked helplessly about himself in an interview with the media in public.

a. Some views on the suspension, in addition to this, Wu Feng also announced to the media that he would return to China within a week to deal with some private affairs and work matters.
