Owners also want to increase the luxury-tax rates for the high-spending teams, like the New York Knicks, and lower the tax threshold." "Owners, on balance, want to come up with a system that's a bit more profitable than the existing system and one that doesn't reward players who are no longer in the league, or who shouldn't be in the league at higher prices," Commissioner David Stern said during a conference call with reporters before the start of the season. "Players getting contracts and not playing in the league is taking money from players who are in the league and contributing heavily. That's what gets us into discussions of shorter contracts and things like that." 至於勞方的訴求， "The players would rather keep the current long-term guaranteed contract format. They also want more flexibility to trade rules and lower tax and escrow thresholds. Age limitation on draftees, which is favored by the owners, also is an issue that will be addressed. For every player who makes the jump directly from high school like LeBron James, there's a Jackie Butler, a player who thought he was good enough, only to later regret not going to college." 今年的CBA談判，雙方的立場很可能比上一次更加的強硬。近年來NBA的成長不比當 年，市道一但不再暢旺，擁有球隊的億萬富翁跟擁有球技的百萬富翁的金錢戰爭可想像 的將會更激烈。目前看起來，資方跟勞方已經在長保證合約這個議題上表達了相左的意 見。長保證合約應該會是這一回合談判的一大戰場。 對球員而言，以打籃球為業比大部份其他行業多了一些風險，球員的職業技能，也 就是球技，並不像白領階級般穩定。球員的體能會衰退，而運動傷害的風險也常將叱吒 風雲的球星一下子變成坐領乾薪的米蟲，球隊的戰力突然受到重創。不論對運動員或是 球團而言，這些職業風險幾乎是不可避免的。於是當年球員demand保證合約，而今天資 方也希望將風險再丟回到球員身上。 誰勝誰負，走著瞧吧。 --
