The N B A.

N B A.

Continues the negotiation with the NBA Players Association about how to execute a season that may be played minimal fans allowed in their respective arenas.

繼續與NBA球員協會商討如何執行一個賽季，可能會在各自的場館中發揮最小的球迷允許。

As Brian Wynne horse explains, making them revenue and the math work undoubtedly will lead to sacrifice for the MBA to play next season, the players and owners have to come to an agreement about money before the Cove in 19 Pandemic, the MBA was expected to take in around $9 billion this upcoming season.

正如布萊恩-溫恩馬所解釋的那樣，讓他們收入和數學工作無疑會導致下賽季MBA打球的犧牲，球員和老闆必須在19年大流行的庫夫之前就錢的問題達成協議，這個下賽季MBA預計將獲得90億美元左右的收入。

About 50% of that revenue would come from television and other media deals, and around 10% from other sources.

其中約50%的收入將來自電視和其他媒體交易，約10%來自其他來源。

The remaining 40% was to come from arenas, but that 40% more than 3.5 billion is in jeopardy.

剩下的40%要來自於場館，但這40%多的35億卻岌岌可危。

No one knows how many fans will be able to come to the games, and that is causing a problem.

沒有人知道有多少球迷能夠來觀看比賽，這就造成了一個問題。

NBA players and owners have a deal.

NBA的球員和老闆有一個協議。

They both get about 50% of the basketball related revenue pie every year.

他們每年都能拿到50%左右的籃球相關收入派。

This half of the pie determines what the salary cap is, eh?

這半塊餅決定了工資帽是多少，嗯？

NBA teams based future player contracts on the expectation that the salary cap will continue to grow year after year.

NBA球隊根據未來球員合同的預期，工資帽將繼續逐年增長。

That's how they can give out four year deals like the Lakers did with LeBron James back in 2018 and have been planning to do with Anthony Davis this year.

這樣他們才能像湖人隊在2018年對勒布朗-詹姆斯那樣給出四年的合同，今年也一直打算對安東尼-戴維斯這樣做。

But with all the uncertainty about arena revenue, the pie the teams had been banking on for the last several years when signing players all of a sudden could be much, much smaller.

但由於競技場收入的不確定性，過去幾年各支球隊簽下球員時寄託的蛋糕一下子可能小了很多很多。

If the full pie or close to it isn't there, the whole financial system breaks down.

如果沒有完整的餅或接近餅，整個金融體系就會崩潰。

So what can be done?

那麼能做什麼呢？

The idea that the players and owners have is to pretend the revenue pie is there for this year and maybe next year, too.

球員和老闆的想法是，假裝今年的收入派，也許明年也有。

This way the salary cap won't collapse on all of those pies over the next few years won't implode.

這樣一來，未來幾年的工資帽就不會因為這些派系的崩潰而不會內訌。

To make it work, every player will have to give back some of his salary to make sure that 50 50 split with the owners still happens from the highest paid veterans down to the guys who are on their rookie deals.

要想做到這一點，每個球員都要回饋一部分薪水，以確保從薪水最高的老將到新秀合約的球員，依然能與老闆發生五五分成。

But how much smaller, maybe 30% maybe 35 maybe more.

但小了多少，也許30%也許35也許更多。

With the owners now talking about shortening the season, players could be looking at fewer game checks to.

現在老闆們都在談論縮短賽季，球員們可能會減少比賽檢查，以。

But there is little choice, thanks to Brian Wynne Horst on that.

但沒有什麼選擇，這一點要感謝布萊恩-溫恩-霍斯特。

So Zack Windy mentions the escrow where a percentage of the players paycheck is withheld until the final revenue is counted at the end of the season.

所以扎克-溫迪提到了代管，在賽季結束統計最終收入之前，會扣留一定比例的球員工資。

Do you feel that it is, Ultimately, this is where that uncertain revenue will be taken from?

你是否覺得，歸根結底，這就是那不確定的收入的來源？

I mean, if you're really committed to the 50 50 split, I don't really see how else to do it.

我的意思是，如果你真的致力於50 50分裂，我真的不明白怎麼做。

I mean, you could argue that maybe the owners should give back a little bit more because they're on balanced, much wealthier than the players are.

我的意思是，你可以說，也許業主應該多回饋一點，因為他們是平衡的，比球員更富有。

But that doesn't appear to be in the cards.

但這似乎並不在計劃之中。

They appear to be sticking to the 50 50 split.

他們似乎在堅持五五分成。

Aziz, when you mentioned keeping the system the way it works, and there is this assumption that well, we just need to ride out this year 21 22.

阿齊茲，當你提到保持系統的運作方式，並有這樣的假設，好吧，我們只需要度過今年21 22。

That's gonna be our return to normal.

這將是我們的迴歸正常。

That's why they wanted to get the calendar back to as close to almost possible for that season.

這也是為什麼他們想讓日曆儘可能地恢復到那個賽季的幾乎。

I mean, who knows.

我的意思是，誰知道。

Why are we assuming that?

我們為什麼要這樣假設呢？

And you know, the long term financial future is is really, you know, uncertain.

你知道，長期的金融未來 是真的，你知道，不確定。

But you know, the n b a on the scale of things that actually really matter.

但你知道，n b a在規模的事情 實際上真正重要的。

It is not very high on that scale, but yeah, I mean, this is a huge business that its model is for sure in jeopardy perk as a player.

它不是很高的規模，但是，是的，我的意思是，這是一個巨大的業務，它的模式是肯定的危險津貼作為一個球員。

How concerning is this?

這有多令人擔憂？

It is very concerning.

這是非常令人擔憂的。

And it goes to show you that we didn't make sure we did our job in the last C b A agreement and how the n b a one that deal.

這說明我們沒有確保我們在上一個C B A協議中做了我們的工作，以及N B A如何一個交易。

But I was just more impressed about how peaceful Wendy was talking about billions of dollars at stake.

但我只是對溫迪談及數十億美金的利害關係時的平靜印象比較深刻。

Like he was just so peaceful in that in that segment, it was crazy to me, but no, but in all seriousness, this what I was talking about earlier in the show, why it's so important that some of these guys get back toe work.

就像他只是如此平靜，在那段，它是瘋狂的我，但沒有，但在所有嚴重的是，這就是我在節目中早些時候說的，為什麼它是如此重要，其中一些傢伙得到回腳趾工作。

I know a lot of people be talking about all these people make these players make millions of dollars.

我知道很多人都在談論這些人讓這些球員賺了幾百萬美元。

They shouldn't be worried.

他們不應該擔心。

They should be financially straight, but that's not it.

他們在經濟上應該是正直的，但不是這樣。

When you throw in taxes when you throw in escrow.

當你扔進稅的時候，當你扔進託管的時候。

Ah, lot of these guys that are on the Lord tear they depend on the NBA salary and listen in the windy speak just now, it makes it raised concerns for me, for the players standpoint, Yeah, it's certainly interesting because look, some people, if you own a home, right, like you put certain money in escrow to pay for your property taxes.

啊，很多這些主撕的傢伙，他們依靠NBA的薪水，聽著剛才的風言風語，這讓它引起了我的擔憂，對於球員的立場，是的，這當然很有趣，因為你看，有些人，如果你擁有一套房子，對吧，就像你把一定的錢放在託管裡，來支付你的房產稅。

And you know, those things are also tabulated from year to year, kind of like the salary cap.

而且你知道，這些東西也是一年一表，有點像工資帽。

And sometimes it's enough money, and sometimes you get a little refund.

而且有時候錢夠了，有時候還能退點錢。

You know, you get something back because you gave too much into the escrow.

你知道，你能拿回一些東西是因為你給了太多的託管費。

All of this is still a huge unknown Zach, right?

這些都還是一個巨大的未知數，扎克，對嗎？

Absolutely.

絕對的

I mean, we're gonna have to see what the revenue looks like, not just this year, but next year.

我的意思是，我們得看看收入是什麼樣子的，不只是今年，而是明年。

And and to your point, this formula has been in existence before.

而對於你的觀點，這個公式之前就已經存在了。

Sometimes the players get a refund, sometimes they don't.

有時玩家會得到退款，有時不會。

But, you know, again, these this is what they're negotiating probably right now.

但是，你知道，同樣，這些... ...這就是他們現在正在談判的可能。

And the union is negotiating not only with the league, but within its own membership, because depending on how they structure this, whether they take a huge hit this year or spread the hit out over multiple years.

而工會不僅在和聯盟談判，還在自己的會員內部談判，因為要看他們如何安排，是今年大打出手，還是把打出手分散到多個年份。

That affects different classes of players, different experience levels, different ages differently.

這對不同階層、不同經驗等級、不同年齡的玩家影響不同。

And that's a very complex negotiation in and of itself.

而這本身就是一個非常複雜的談判。
