Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 470
"Teacher, the transaction has been blocked, do we need to return the email to Daniel?"

"No, we didn't cancel the transaction just to vent his anger on him, so we don't need to give him any reply!"

"Row!"

Silver was about to leave when Stern stopped him suddenly: "Wait a minute, do the owners of other teams react?"

"From what I know, many of them are waiting for the latest development of the matter, but after you came forward to block this transaction, they did not express any views on this matter."

"Okay, I got it!" Stern responded again, nodded and started looking for information.

"By the way!" Stern thought of something again: "How is the new labor agreement contract going?"

"It's difficult to unify, especially after this season, Daniel, Herb, and Michael Jordan, they all have great opinions. They all feel that the contracts for players are too big, especially for the core of the team! This is so important to them. The management of the team in a small city in such a small city is really unfavorable!"

"In addition, the transfer of LeBron and Yi Jianlian also has a grudge among the owners of other small city teams. They are afraid that such a thing will happen to them."

"Hmph!" Stern snorted coldly when he heard this, took off his glasses and threw them on the table, "Such rhetoric was originally used to deal with the media, but now these guys are going to use it on me gone?"

"Whether they made money or not, they should know in their hearts. How much did George Sean spend to buy the Hornets? It was less than 3.5 million. Now, I gave him [-] million. We will sign in a few years." With the high broadcast agreement, the market value of all the teams in the league will definitely increase by a large amount, and such a high-return investment still makes me cry poorly, these capitalists!"

"Furthermore, player transfer transactions are part of the NBA. Is it possible that the players want to leave, and they can be restricted?"

"There is also Michael Jordan. Ten years ago, he represented the players' union with plausibility and fought for the interests of the players. Why, now that he has become the owner of the team, he thinks that the contracts he won were too harsh? It's really hypocritical!"

Stern rubbed his temples, murmured words, and complained about the guys Xiao Hua said. After rubbing for about 5 minutes, Stern put on his glasses again, and at the same time complained about the team owner. He will not continue any more. When he takes off his glasses to rest, he can temporarily stop thinking of himself as the president of the league, but when he returns to work, he knows very well that the owners of the 30 teams are the foundation for the NBA to operate. For their requirements, Stern can only try his best to meet them, and he knows the minds of these bosses, so he will do these things now.

"You and these owners, especially the owners of these small cities that you mentioned yourself, explain that canceling the deal of Chris Paul to the Lakers represents our determination! We will come up with a plan as soon as possible to help small city teams retain The superstars that have been cultivated make transfers like LeBron James, and... and Yi Jianlian no longer happen frequently."

Stern really doesn't want to talk about Yi Jianlian, even from his point of view, Yi Jianlian's transfer is just as stupid as Herb Kerr's. If he wants to sell the team, he can't sell it, so he immediately dismantles the team to save money. What the hell? Are you crazy about making money?Others don't know whether Herb Cole made money, doesn't he know?

From what Stern knows, among the 30 teams in the league, only a few really lost money. Although the Bucks said they didn't make much money, they definitely didn't lose money!

He just has a big appetite!

"Okay, how to do it, I will leave it to you!"

Xiao Hua nodded and left, and Stern made another call: "Damps, you have to appease Chris Paul as soon as possible!"

He called the Hornets general manager Demps, who was in depression at this time: "Mr. President, maybe you have to tell me a reason first, why you want to cancel this deal, I have no violations." , isn't it?"

"But you didn't bring any favorable chips to the Hornets. Do you think your new boss will like the chips you traded with the league's number one point guard?"

"..." Demps was silent. It is true that the Lakers made the most money from this deal. Apart from Chris Paul, they also got a special deal. This special deal is enough for this team to eat any other maximum salary. players.

Kobe plus Paul plus a player who is at least above the All-Star level, what this means can be figured out with your toes.

"The league can't keep hosting the Hornets all the time. We need a new owner. And you have to show some results so that the Hornets don't look so bad at least. Even if Chris Paul has to go, you have to get the same amount as him. Corresponding bargaining chips, rather than fulfilling others, Chris Paul's contract will expire for a long time, we have enough time to find a team with higher chips! core, but the future is bright, so stop whining, Demps, and get to work!"

"...I see!" Demps lost his temper.

"That's it for now, hang up."

"call!"

Stern put down the phone and finally heaved a sigh of relief. At least for him, this matter is over.

The reason why he blocked this deal is nothing more than these two reasons: first, because the labor agreement is imminent, he must hand in the voting certificate to the league owners, especially those small city team owners in the league. Balance” determination, there are too many big-name transfers this season, and apart from Anthony being forced to be traded to Orlando by the team, the others are going to big cities. If Chris Paul also goes from New Orleans to the big city of Los Angeles If we team up with Kobe, I am afraid that the negotiations this summer will be very troublesome. As Xiao Hua's teacher, and more importantly, as the president of the league, he must pave the way for his successor and let him complete the matter satisfactorily; The second is for the sake of attracting investment for the Hornets. No boss wants to see a stupid general manager who sends out a core of his family and gives a special transaction to help other teams.Any boss who is interested in the NBA, even if he intends to enter the Hornets, will immediately give up such an idea after seeing such a deal born?
In short, the deal between Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant had to be stopped by both public and private parties. It can be said that it is for the long-term development of the league, and it can also be said that it is for the Hornets to have the next successor appear as soon as possible.

***
At the same time, the entire league became completely chaotic. First, Chris Paul publicly bombarded the league for interfering with his choice, and then Billy Hunter, who was preparing to join the board of the players union, attempted to defend his rights through legal means.

Players from various NBA teams also complained about Chris Paul at this time. Danny Granger even changed his Twitter id to "Stern is a biao", openly mocking Stern.

The relationship between the league and the players suddenly became tense.
