An hour later, the Suns held a press conference, announcing that Li Ba tore the meniscus in his left knee because he slipped and fell in the shower at home, resulting in reimbursement for the season.
This news caused an uproar in the media.
Most of the American media are about to sing and dance, predicting that Li Ba will fall from now on, his state will no longer be, and it will not be a simple decline, but a cliff-like decline.
The reason is very simple. Even if the meniscus is torn, the physical fitness will decline. For an insider, this is a very serious injury. It is like this when Duncan changed from a flying devil to a floor player.
A small number of media lamented that the world basketball world has lost a new generation of basketball gods.
After the news was announced, Li Ba received countless calls from Jordan, James, Kobe, Duncan, etc., as well as Dayao Ahlian.
"Hammer, what's the matter, you can get hurt even after taking a shower?" Director Li Jinshen of the basketball management center called, his tone urgent.
"No, it's like this..." Li Ba quickly explained.
"You boy, you have nothing to do. You only mess with these moths." After a sigh of relief, Li Jinshen said angrily.
The next day, a large number of media rushed to Li Ba's hometown and surrounded his home.
"Yuanyuan made a mistake. It should be said that my hand was injured. It made me need this thing when I walk now."
Hurricane, Li Ba waved one of his father's crutches, and after practicing the crazy wand technique in his living room, he went outside to be interviewed by the media.
"This bastard, he likes to make troubles since he was a child, so he has nothing to do." Li Dacheng said angrily.
"Don't worry about him, Sissi is pregnant, what's wrong with him staying at home? After all these years, it's rare to stay at home." Zhou Yuehe said.
The media reporters had been tossing around Li Ba for a week before they slowly dispersed and the family returned to calm.
On November 11, Li Ba received a fax from the league.
This was passed to him by the Suns, and it was the content of the agreement in the latest labor negotiation.
This agreement has not yet been passed, because some things have not been negotiated.
However, some of the basic content has been determined. For example, the league still implements a soft salary cap system, which means that the management's goal of implementing a hard salary cap has not been achieved.
However, this agreement has made changes to the luxury tax, and has made great restrictions on rich teams, limiting their burning money, which is conducive to improving the competitiveness of small teams.
For example, if the amount exceeding the luxury line is less than 500 million US dollars, it will be executed at a ratio of 200:300, that is, if it exceeds 400 million, a luxury tax of [-] million US dollars will be paid. Adding wages, it will be an additional expenditure of [-] million US dollars.
For every additional $500 million, the ratio will increase by a factor of [-].
If a team exceeds the luxury line by 2200 million U.S. dollars, then it needs to pay the luxury tax according to the ratio of 250 to [-], that is, it has to pay [-] million U.S. dollars, plus the salary paid, that is, it exceeds [-] million U.S. dollars dollar expenditures.
According to the rules of the league, a maximum of [-]% of the luxury tax is allowed to be allocated to teams that have not paid the luxury tax. This is an agreement to steal from the rich and help the poor. If passed, it will be a victory for the small team.
Li Ba couldn't help complaining when he saw this: "Now I know that I blamed the league. The league doesn't want to see teams like the Lakers and Heat live! How much luxury tax do they have to pay? Two hundred million dollars a season?"
"Husband, does that mean even superstars can't cuddle together?" the girl asked.
Li Ba chuckled and said, "The luxury tax is so high, let alone the Lakers and Heat, the Knicks can't stand it either. It's going to be lively for a while."
"Then if you come back, you can win the championship again?" the girl said with a smile.
"That's right, they can't beat me even if they hold a group. Now that this agreement is passed, they can only watch me win the championship." Li Ba said proudly.
"Has this clause been passed?" the girl asked again.
"No." Li Ba shook his head.
The girl gave her husband a blank look, why are you happy that he didn't pass?
At this time, in a hotel in New York, Kupchak was sweating profusely. He was calculating the luxury tax according to the latest negotiations.
The salary cap for the 2011-12 season was 5800 million, similar to last season, and Kobe alone accounted for 2500 million.
The rest, Howard 1800 million, UAE 1600 million, just these three, reached 5900 million, and the remaining twelve players add up to at least 2000 million.
If it exceeds 2000 million, then the luxury that the team needs to hand over will be as high as 8000 to [-] million US dollars, but this lineup cannot win the Suns.
If Chris Paul is traded in again, it will exceed the luxury tax by 500 million to 700 million. According to the ratio of [-] to [-], the Lakers will have to pay a luxury tax of [-] million US dollars, plus Salary needs to spend more than [-] million US dollars.
By this point, his head was covered with beads of sweat.
"This is not going to work, this deal will never go through. If it goes through, we will never try to win against the Suns again."
The boss, old Bass, was just across from him. After hearing his calculation results, his face was also gloomy.
"Contact the Knicks, Heat, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Celtics immediately. We need to work together to veto this agreement."
He considered the latter for a moment.
Several team owners and team general managers who have to pay a large sum of luxury taxes every year quickly got together overnight to discuss countermeasures.
This labor negotiation is not only a game between labor and capital, but also a game between a rich team with a high level and a small team with a short-term poverty. A very important point is the luxury tax.
Small teams should limit big teams from burning money to increase their competitiveness, especially after the expansion of the football market in the past few years, big teams have made a lot of money, and small teams have been bustling. So much oil and water, so this negotiation is very difficult, because the team is not monolithic.
On November 11, Stern convened a board meeting in which all team owners and their surrogates participated.
The content of the meeting is only one, which will eliminate the differences within the management.
The owner of the Suns, Savor, was also among them. He watched coldly and was considered the happiest person.
With Li Ba in his hands, he doesn't need to sign a second player with a maximum salary. He can't pay much in luxury tax, so he doesn't worry about it at all.
Old Bass spoke first: "If the luxury tax is implemented according to this agreement, then the only result is that the Suns will continue to win the championship, while other teams have no competitiveness at all. I think this is not what everyone wants to see, right? "
"Sorry, let me remind you that we won the championship based on our strength." Savor immediately interjected regardless of politeness.
