In fact, Min Congda had already had murderous intentions towards Baron Davis.
Especially in the Western Conference Finals, Baron Davis's general demeanor on the court and his experience at critical moments helped the team a lot.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to win two victories against the Mavericks just by relying on the two big men in the paint, as well as the stupid young players like Curry and Harden.
The Cavaliers, who were as strong as the Cleveland Cavaliers, only won one game, and then were taken away by the Mavericks with four consecutive shots. There was basically no suspense.
It's just that Baron Davis and Min Congda have always had a good relationship, and Min Congda couldn't bear to trade him.
And as a strong core player who performed so well in the playoffs, you traded him. Is this reasonable?
If it is very unreasonable, the system will not allow this operation to be implemented.
Now, Baron Davis takes the initiative to leave the Clippers and go to a team where he can play a core role.
This is exactly what Min Congda wants. If he falls asleep on the pillow, don't blame me for being rude.
On December 23, three days before Christmas, Min Congda received a call from the alliance to go to New York for a meeting.
Although the labor negotiations have ended, a lot of preparations have to be completed within a month, so it is natural to be busy.
For the employer, how to distribute income between the employer and the labor has been settled, and it has been changed from the previous 57% to a floating ratio.
That is, based on 50%, players share 60.5% of the portion above or below the specified value, with a floating range of 49-51%.
In the first year of 2011-2012, the fixed share is 51.15%.
For the capital side, this is not a complete victory, but it also provides a big buffer.
It can share about 5% more revenue every year, and some teams may fall short of this 5% to make a profit.
However, within the capital, there is inevitably a game over how the 30 teams will divide up the extra revenue.
Therefore, representatives of the capital must conduct internal discussions behind closed doors on how to redistribute income.
In the past, the 30 teams were united and tried their best to fight against the labor for their rights.
After the labor is done, it’s the internal’s turn to fight for the fruits of victory. This is human nature.
Min Congda once again became Sterling's representative and came to the Olympia Building in New York to participate in the discussion as a lord.
The previous meeting in Dallas was different. At that time, everyone had to be consistent with the outside world, so the discussion atmosphere was very harmonious.
This time everyone wanted to divide the spoils, and the atmosphere in the meeting quickly became heated, with everyone complaining and making a lot of noise in order to gain more benefits.
Moreover, many small teams are targeting the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks in big cities.
They claim that big cities like Los Angeles and New York have inherent advantages over other teams and can attract big names to join them.
In the end, the stars that small clubs have worked so hard to cultivate cannot be retained, and they have to be taken away by big city teams in the free market.
The venue soon split into two groups: big city teams and small city teams, and the debate began.
Teams in small cities hope to get more concessions in revenue sharing, allowing teams in big cities to subsidize teams in small cities.
The big city teams believe that we are all American teams, and your city has the ability to move or help the city develop. 33
Why do you still blame my team for being in a big city? Who is weak and who is right?
Thunder owner Clayton Bennett said: "The current agreement is not good enough. The Lakers have such a large broadcast contract and have so many advantages. How can we compete with them? This is unfair."
Nuggets owner Kroenke said: "We will continue to fight for the revenue share. We can't beat the Lakers on the court, but we can succeed at the negotiating table. This is our only hope."
Lakers representative Jenny Buss retorted: "Although the Nuggets are a small club, Mr. Kroenke, you also have the Rams and Arsenal, and your asset volume is almost ten times that of the Lakers! The current situation of the league It is not caused by us alone. The losses of other teams do not do us any good. I also want everyone to make profits, so that our ratings and attendance will be better. We are competing, but we are also cooperating. You We can’t blame the big city teams for the losses!”
There is some truth to what Jenny Bass said, but none of these bosses on the scene are foxes that have become spirits after thousands of years.
It's okay for you to coax your employees, players and fans, but the bosses don't care about reason, only profit.
The meeting lasted for 8 hours, and the long debate made Min Congda sigh that these old men and women were so energetic!
Some bosses argued until the end and simply gave up their options, saying that the worst case scenario would be to continue the shutdown, since they would still lose money anyway.
Stern is the president, but he is just a senior wage earner selected by the bosses. Faced with such a situation, he can only comfort him.
Min Congda, who was so noisy by the bosses at the meeting that his head hurt, finally stood up and spoke.
He represents the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Clippers are a very special team.
Although it is located in a big city, the team is a small club with a big belly.
It has finally improved in the past two years, but it is still a weakling in front of giants like the Lakers and Knicks.
"We have been arguing about the shutdown for several months. Haven't we argued enough? I proposed a new NBA before, but no one responded, and Mr. President even warned me. Now some people are saying that the shutdown will continue. The White House has expressed its hope that the shutdown will end. We finally reached an agreement with the labor force, but as a result there is another shutdown due to internal discord? How does this make the American people view you? Do you also want to build a new NBA? If so, I can Get involved, after all I was the first advocate.”
"But I still want to remind everyone that Donaghy's death is still an unsolved case, and the police have almost no clues. On Twitter, NBA-Batman still hangs over the league like a ghost. Do you think the content of your conversation today will be leaked? On Twitter? If there is a shutdown, who do you think will be the culprit?"
As soon as Min Congda said these words, those bosses who clamored for the shutdown to continue stopped immediately.
Sure enough, it is useless to reason with these old foxes. They must be made aware that they may be hurt.
Donaghy's death was extremely strange, and the NBA-Batman account, as Min Congda said, shrouded the league like a ghost.
Now Stern and the league office suspect that the person behind the account is most likely the owner of one of the 30 teams who funded the scheme.
The key suspects are Mark Cuban and Dan Gilbert, while Min Congda was first ruled out as a suspect because NBA-Batman was the number one criminal.
Under Min Congda's generous words, Stern's pressure was relieved, and the meeting process gradually accelerated, and new sharing terms were quickly drawn up and passed.
Min Congda breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that being a boss is not easy, and the consumption of physical and energy is really huge.
Jenny Baste expressed her gratitude to Min Congda and said: "Thank you for standing up and speaking Smart, otherwise things would have gotten worse again."
Min Congda smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are all Los Angeles teams."
At this moment, Jenny Bass's assistant came over and whispered to Bass for a while.
After hearing this, Jenny quickly took out her phone and found that her Twitter reminder was going crazy, but she was muted and didn't hear it.
Jenny quickly opened Twitter to check, and a surprised expression immediately appeared on her face.
Min Congda asked curiously: "What happened? Did Kobe do it again?"
Jeanie Buss shook her head and said, "No, we, the Lakers, have completed the deal with the Hornets and Rockets, and Chris Paul is coming to the Lakers."
Some people died, but not completely...
