After an eight-hour war of words within the employer, teams from big cities and small city teams finally reached an agreement and signed an internal distribution agreement.
But this does not mean that the contradiction between the two parties has disappeared. This is just a temporary compromise.
On the contrary, both parties are in a highly sensitive state due to the fierce debate. Once something happens, the quarrel will definitely happen again.
Fortunately, just as the meeting ended, news came that Paul had been traded to the Lakers.
This is like pouring a bucket of gasoline on the fire that has just been extinguished and still has residual warmth and flames, and the fire explodes in a flash.
The first person to receive the news on Twitter was Mark Cuban. This guy was furious when he saw Paul go to the Lakers.
He was about to leave, but rushed back to the conference room and shouted at Stern: "Paul is going to the Lakers! Is this a concession from big cities to small cities? The stars that small teams have worked hard to cultivate are just like this. City Harvest is gone? The agreement we made at the meeting is bullshit! It’s all bullshit!”
Cuban looked indignant. Dallas is not a small city.
Besides, Dallas has never lost any developed superstars in the free market.
Steve Nash is what you don't want, and Nowitzki has never thought about leaving.
They pay a lot of luxury tax every year, their attendance is also very high, and they even won the championship this year.
The reason why Cuban is so popular is that the Lakers will block the Mavericks' way after acquiring Paul.
The Mavericks lineup will be one year older next season, and this year's championship miracle will be almost impossible to replicate.
Can a person like Cuban watch the Lakers rob him again and again?
The Hornets have already given you Kobe, so why don't they give you Paul?
Are the Hornets the Lakers' superstar training base?
Anyway, I just can't bear it and I can't see the Lakers doing well.
Except for Cuban, other teams, especially small team owners, think so.
The meeting had already ended. After getting some rest, everyone returned one after another and started to attack Stern.
Stern endured eight hours at the conference, smiling in the face of all kinds of questioning and persecution.
I finally endured the results and got the results, but I didn't know that there would be a twist and something terrible happened again!
This labor negotiation is really exhausting for David Stern.
Six months of back-and-forth negotiations.
After the shutdown, there was tremendous pressure from all sides.
Seeing that the lockout was about to end, negative news about game manipulation broke out.
Stern was criticized verbally and verbally by public opinion, and the pressure increased again.
On the brink of despair, Donaghy was shot dead, triggering a murder mystery that shocked the United States.
When things have developed to this point, it has finally come to an end. It has given both sides a step forward and contributed to the success of the negotiations.
However, successful negotiations between labor and management are not enough. There are also many conflicts within the management.
After finally going to great lengths to smooth things over within the employer, the Lakers made a robbery deal and blew up again!
Faced with the bosses' questioning, clamoring, and questioning, Stern, an old man, finally reached his physical and mental limits.
He still tried to suppress his temper, coordinate, and then discuss with people in the office how to deal with it.
Because the Hornets are now in league conservatorship, the league can veto the deal.
But just when Stern stood up and wanted to explain, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, his mind immediately lost consciousness, and his whole body went limp and fell backwards.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the president fainted?
Don't faint, you won't be dead right away, right?
Min Congda was sitting not far from Stern.
He had nothing to say, and it was indeed beyond his imagination that things had developed to this point.
What was even more beyond imagination was that Stern collapsed all of a sudden. Min Congda was the first to react and shouted: "Call 911! Let the medical rescue personnel come in! Quick!"
After all, Stern is a 70-year-old man, and he has some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems at this age.
After experiencing this series of ups and downs, tonight's Chris Paul trade became the last straw for him.
Several bosses were all panicked and didn't know what to do. If Stern died, the NBA would be in trouble this time.
A lockout killed two people, a referee and a president. Looking at the entire history of North American professional sports, it was quite an explosion.
Min Congda saw that Stern was probably having a stroke. He asked everyone else to get out of the way, lifted Stern off the chair and laid him flat on the ground. He unbuttoned his tie and shirt to keep his breathing smooth.
Soon the hotel's medical staff arrived at the venue. After a simple examination, they determined that it was indeed a stroke. They immediately put him on a stretcher and sent him to the hospital for first aid.
Stern was sent away, and the venue was in a mess. No one expected that things would evolve to this point.
Naturally, the bosses couldn't leave. They all went to New York City Hospital to wait for news about Stern's rescue.
The news that Stern suffered a stroke and collapsed during negotiations immediately made headlines.
Netizens are also amazed, what happened to the NBA this year?
Min Congda and 28 other team representatives came to the hospital to wait for news.
While Stern's life and death are uncertain, on the other hand, these bosses have already begun discussing who to choose as the next president.
In theory, Adam Silva is being groomed as a successor.
Once Stern retires, Silva will definitely be pushed to become the new president.
Whether the teams respect Stern or trust Stern's vision, the position of the next president is basically certain.
But after an accident like this, it's hard to say whether there will be any changes.
Because according to Stern's timetable, he originally planned to announce his retirement plan at the end of next year.
At that time, he will announce Adam Silva as his successor and the next NBA president.
Once the statement is made at the press conference, everything is secure. All Stern has to do is help Silva mount his horse, give him a ride, and then retire peacefully.
As a result, there was less than a year left before his plan, and something like this happened.
Everyone knew that Silva was being groomed as an heir, but it was never officially announced.
After all, Stern and the bosses also have to observe and examine Silva.
Once Stern fails to wake up and suddenly collapses, the new president will be in suspense.
There will definitely be a vote by then, and several current vice presidents will have a chance.
Of course, the bosses are interested in joining forces to support a president who is beneficial to them.
Things get more complicated.
Just when everyone was having their own secrets, the doctor from the emergency room came out.
"Mr. Stern is out of danger and his life is not seriously injured for the time being, but he needs a good rest."
Everyone was relieved and a little disappointed that Stern was still alive.
What about the Hornets' deals with the Lakers and Rockets?
How to deal with it?
These bosses will not give up trying to force Stern to have an abortion just because he suffered a brain stroke.
The pressure is on Adam Silva's shoulders.
Some people died, but not completely...
