On November 26, the labor and management finally reached an agreement.

President Stern announced: "The players and the boss have reached a preliminary agreement, and the new season is expected to start on Christmas, and the free market and training camp will be opened at the same time on December 9."

The losses caused by this suspension to both labor and capital are much greater than those of the 1998-1999 season.

Since the NBA has canceled a total of 321 games in the first six weeks, it has brought players direct economic losses of up to $530 million; while the league's losses are more than $1.2 billion; plus the preseason loss of $200 million, the total economic losses to both labor and capital in just one and a half months of cancellation of the game is as high as $1.93 billion.

In addition, the soft loss of audience enthusiasm such as attendance is even more difficult to predict, and only time can be used to slowly compensate.

After a few months of hard work, the players still gave in and would get a share of 49%-51%. Even if they got the highest 51%, they would only be 1% more than the 55% 5 proposed by the investors at the beginning. Facts have proved that the player's little arms could not twist the boss's thigh.

One boss's character collapsed completely, and he was Michael Jordan. He was regarded as a public enemy and was constantly criticized.

As the Bobcats boss and the representative of the investor, Jordan certainly needs to consider different from the players' era, but fans and players think this change is very painful.

In 1998, Jordan was a player leader and shouted at his boss: "If you can't make money, you should sell the team." Now Jordan has become a representative of the tough hawks, joining more than a dozen bosses to create a contract that will make players suffer, annoyed the working players.

The basketball flying man, who was admired by everyone in the past, is now named "hypocrite" and has begun to be recognized among players.

Paul George of the Bucks yelled in a panic: "Damn Jordan!"

After knowing the content of the contract, Nick Young of the Bulls showed a black question mark face: "Despicable Jordan, you can go to hell!"

At this time, Guo Xu's position as the No. 1 player in NBA history has become more stable. More and more fans believe that he is better than Jordan. Regardless of his performance on the court or his character in life, Guo Xu did not participate in the negotiations, at least he would not cheat the players.

There are currently 70 people playing overseas. Most of them have a jump option when signing contracts with overseas teams. Now that the suspension is over, they can immediately terminate their contracts with the team and return to the United States to prepare for the new season.

The players who joined the Chinese CBA were in trouble. According to the regulations of the Chinese Basketball Association, they must not have a jump option when signing a contract with the CBA team, so they cannot jump out of the contract and return to the United States immediately, and at least they have to finish the regular season.

The Basketball Association opened a backdoor for Yi Jianlian, who played for Guangdong, but his new contract could only receive a basic salary.

On December 9, the league became lively, and all teams had to hurry up and strengthen, and a big deal immediately appeared.

Chris Paul of the Hornets has never had good teammates and has no results. He can't bear to apply for a deal.

The Clippers officially reached a deal with the Hornets, with the Hornets winning forward Al Amino, No. 1 defender Kerry Irving, and center Chris Carman from the Clippers; the Clippers winning Chris Paul and two second-round picks in 2015.

Is there anything more cruel than this? The young Irving has been happy for nearly half a year and often fantasizes about playing in Los Angeles for the rest of his life, helping the Clippers overwhelm the Lakers and becoming the number one home team in Los Angeles.

As a result, he was traded without playing a game for the Clippers, a bolt from the blue. Players started their careers in Los Angeles and started their careers in New Orleans, which are completely different concepts.

Irving was stimulated and seemed to have grown older 40 years old and became Uncle Drew...

The Clippers management believes that Irving and Griffin are not suitable for team formation. They are both too young and it is difficult for two teams with the leading new players to achieve results. Their goal is to compete with the Lakers in Los Angeles. I am not sure whether Irving can become a star, so I simply sent it away.

Paul has played beautiful data for several consecutive years, is experienced and has excellent combat effectiveness. Many experts believe that he is the star point guard whose personal ability is second only to Guo Xu, but he is only dragged down by his record and is seriously underestimated.

Paul is very satisfied with the Clippers' geographical location and is willing to become partners with Griffin. They can play pick-and-roll and combine inside and outside. Although the Clippers were not very strong last season and had not made it to the playoffs for many years, their lineup potential is good.

The Clippers' disadvantage is that they are inside. After sending off Kaman, there is no one in the center position. Drew Gooden, who has a strong offense and weak defense, and rookie Trey Tompkins, selected in the second round, both play as power forwards.

The Clippers management decisively cut Vince Carter's salary space, and then signed Haitian center Desamuel Lemport for 12.7 million in two years.

This is a great signing, and Dalemport is a very efficient blue-collar worker. In the 2007-08 season, in 82 games with the Philadelphia 76ers, Dalemport averaged 10.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

Carter's contract has its last season, worth $18.3 million, but it's only partial guarantee of 4 million.

According to Carter's contract, as long as the Clippers cut it within 72 hours after the free market is opened, they only need to pay Carter $4 million to buy out his contract, otherwise his contract will be transformed into full protection.

The Clippers' lineup depth has improved, and the transaction is very smooth and there is no competition. This time, the Lakers did not want to dig Paul. Their lineup is relatively complete. It takes a lot of money to dig Paul, and there may not be a good chemical reaction.

The Warriors also have a simple reinforcement. They signed big pitcher Radmanovic with a minimum salary of one year, and can play two forward positions. They signed Eric Danpier with a minimum salary of one year, and the meat shield blue-collar worker.

Teams without salary space can only be strengthened in this way.

Ricci Rubio won the Trail Blazers' rookie contract and will compete in the NBA in the new season. They also signed forward Caron Butler for 24 million in three years and want to make the playoffs next season.

After losing Yao Ming, the Rockets signed Marcus Camby and Greg Smith to replace him, and their strength was far different.

Then the Rockets renewed their contracts with Prince and Avraro, and Billups had a contract of up to 14 million in the last year. They had no salary space to poach star centers, and there were no star centers in the free market.

Hayes was poached by the Hornets for a four-year, $21.3 million middle-class contract, and the Rockets lost the 198cm center.

The Hornets decisively gave up the "Emperor" Greg Oden, whose rookie contract expired, and did not even consider renewing the basic salary. The renewal of Oden did not play basketball, but was practicing the ability of a team doctor to perform surgery.

Hayes rejected the Rockets' annual salary renewal offer of $2.5 million. If he accepted it, he would be 25. The Rockets hoped to keep Hayes, and Hayes was also interested in staying behind. The problem is that Morey's contract was too bad and he didn't take him seriously at all.

All teams regard powerful inside players as treasures. Hayes is indeed flawed in height, but his defense is not bad, just like the weakened version of Ben Wallace. After playing for a season, he shouldn't be worth only the basic salary.

How scarce is the league's inside line? The Heat have cheated Eddie Curry, the "Little Shark" who has cheated the Knicks for several years, asked him to participate in the preseason and prepare for an inspection. The Trail Blazers gave Oden an unsecured basic salary contract and wanted to bet that he will come back to play next season.

The Rockets contacted the Suns and wanted to introduce substitute Massin Gotat so that the Suns would not give the "Polish Hammer" with low quality and low price. Brian refused without asking for the quotation.
