The Rest, Only Noise

The league was extremely angry with Malone's trade. In the initial stage, they deliberately stood for the Rockets and forced the use of power to prevent this apparently legal but unbalanced signing.

This leads to another force - the players' guild.

Over the years, lawyer Larry Fleischer, who has been committed to helping the players' association defend its rights, fight for rights, and create a better life, has served in the association for decades. The presidents have retired one by one. He is still here and dedicated to serving Players work.

The All-Star strike in 1964, Fleischer's proposal, was the beginning of modern basketball.

At the time, the average league salary was less than $10,000; now, the average league salary is $200,000.

"We're happy to finally see an official offer, which I think is great, but it's a bit of a nuisance because the league seems intent on preventing this contract from going into effect without any violations."

The Malone incident gradually evolved from the 76ers breaking the tacit understanding between the owners, taking the lead in breaking the hot spot of the fat contract, and evolving into a war between the league and player agents.

Just a week later, both the Players Guild and Sixers owner Katz won.

Because the Rockets decided to let Malone leave, after all, the cost of keeping him was too great.

The Rockets let Malone sign with the 76ers, and they were compensated with Caldwell Jones and a 1983 first-round pick.

This first-round pick originally came from Cleveland. Because of Steppi's quick success, the Cavaliers traded wildly in the first round in those years, and two of them came to the 76ers.

With the current situation of the Cavaliers, the probability of this first ** will be transformed into the top two picks. Black Jones is a high-quality basket-collar insider.

The 76ers lost two pillars of the restricted area, Dawkins and Black Jones.

But as long as you get Moses Malone, that loss is nothing.

Regarding Malone's sky-high contract, the 76ers owner Katz was very candid, "I'd rather spend a few more dollars to win than lose a few more dollars."

The league and other owners got embarrassed in negotiations with the players' guild.

How can they tell the players' guild, tell the fans, tell the world that they're in a serious financial crisis because they're giving players a $13 million contract and giving up draft picks and a player worth $1 million?

Were those contracts signed by someone with a gun to their head?

The players' association represented by Fleischer reiterated their views.

They think it's the player's job to play, make money, save the league, and save the owners' financial woes, not the player's job.

After all, you can't blame the players for the mistakes made by a stupid boss like Steppi. The players accepted the premium contract, but the boss himself issued the premium contract.

Malone's signing is like a toppled domino.

This wakes up the rest of the team, and the quest for free agency begins.

New York followed suit and brought Bernard King to the Knicks with a price that Golden State couldn't refuse.

Next, Walter Davis, Larry Andrew, John Lucas, Eddie Johnson... All free agents are either poached with high salaries, or the parent team uses a contract that exceeds the budget keep people.

The unfortunate consequence of Malone's signing is that the player's worth is greatly increased.

Now, in addition to the bad external image of the NBA, the violence problem still exists, and the drug is rampant to the point that 30%-40% of the players may have an affair. What impact does this have? A considerable part of the players on the court are bum-eyed, skinny, lack stamina and listless. Basketball is an undisguised sport. Fans can tell by your performance on the court how your body is.

From 1977 to 1983, many talented players were influenced by unique products, they fell before reaching their peak, and some inexplicably ended their careers.

If this is not a disaster, then the uncontrolled salary increase is the last straw to destroy the team.

From the audience, to the state of the game, to the endurance of the team, the NBA has gathered all the necessary factors for bankruptcy.

At this point, Magic and Bird have been in the league for three years. When are they going to save the league?

It's hard to control people's hearts, and I think Katz is not the only one who grabs his favorite player when everyone doesn't react. Katz couldn't hold his breath, because the 76ers had been bad for years, and he was eager to join the second super giant.

With Katz as a black sheep, other owners can do what they want to do. The league is very difficult, but if they do this, will the NBA go bankrupt tomorrow? Not necessarily.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the league office began to lean towards imposing a salary cap to enforce salary limits. But in doing so, the players' association's backlash is uncontrollable.

So they did legal consultation beforehand, and they wondered if the league would violate the spirit of the Robertson case if it introduced a salary cap.

And it's been a while of bullshit.

From July to August, the league was in turmoil.

Louis, who was in Italy, had a fast-growing relationship with Lorraine.

Lorraine was confident in everything except the bar exam, but she wasn't a woman who was born confident.

Because of her natural beauty, she will attract the attention of many people wherever she goes. She was very scared for a while, thanks to her father for enlightening her. He let Lorraine know that in the future there will be more men staring at her full of sex, more women jealous of her looks, and she must make herself stronger.

The external beauty is only a mirror, and the inner strength can make her resist the prying eyes of strangers.

Louie watched the worldwide hit movie "Alien ET" with her.

Going to the record store to choose good music, in the audition room, Lorraine sang loudly, her voice was far less moving than her appearance.

When Louis and Lorraine were together, she was very relaxed, and she always had some fantastic ideas.

Watching movies, shopping, shopping, and singing karaoke are just small things.

Sometimes she would suddenly come to Louie's hotel and invite him on an adventure to the cemetery.

And she often can't get out of the first step.

"It's coming, Malena..." Louis prefers Lorraine's middle name, "Aren't you afraid?"

Louis' aggressive tactics worked, and Lorraine ventured into the cemetery.

Once here, I feel that life is both small and great.

There are children under 10 years old, and there are old birthday stars over 100 years old.

Louis couldn't help thinking, what would his family think when he suddenly disappeared in his previous life? Will they call the police and post missing people notices everywhere? After the incident is exposed by the media, everyone finds that someone who has never been out of the office suddenly disappeared from the world.

Will he be made up of all kinds of horror stories and suspense stories like Lan Keer?

"Malena, what's wrong?" Louis asked.

"I met a lot of 'peers' here." Lorraine said with a smile.

Well, there are indeed a lot of 18-year-old sleepers here.

"No matter how many years have passed, they are only 18 years old." The inexplicable philosophy rose.

Things looked like an adventure tonight, but more like a date in an incredibly secluded place.

As long as there is no ghost in your heart, why fear evil spirits?

After Louis and Lorraine left the cemetery, he chose to send Lorraine home.

Coming to Lorraine's door again, Lorraine asked him, "Tomorrow, are you free?"

"Of course, before returning to the United States, I was free every day." Rather, the only time Louis was not free in Italy was when he was with Lorraine.

Lorraine wanted to say goodbye, and wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Louis' face, he didn't know what to say.

Louis stepped forward a little: "When you came to me just now, I was going to sleep, but you invited me to take a walk in the cemetery~www.readwn.com~ Don't you like it?"

Serious people who go to the cemetery for a walk at night...

"Of course, I like it very much, as for now..." Louis looked around tentatively, there was no one, it was really quiet in the dead of night, "I want to apply for a good night kiss."

Lorraine also stepped forward a little, and she stood on tiptoe, trying to kiss Louis.

Although she has a height of 168 cm, Louis is a real 191 cm bare feet.

This is not convenient.

Since it wasn't the first time, she smiled shyly and put her hand around Louie's neck.

She succeeded.

He also succeeded.

At this time, it was August 27, 1982, the 58th day that Louis came to Italy.
