隨著薪資上限的調整,在 NBA 自由球員市場開啟的首日,曼菲斯灰熊隊就以北美職籃史上最大合約 5 年 1.53 億美金留下控球後衛 Mike Conley。稍早之前,印城小馬隊與四分衛 Andrew Luck 續約,創下 NFL 史上總值最高的合約,用 5 年 1.4 億綁住這位 2012 年選秀狀元。
.
在 Conley 的 10 年職業生涯中,從未入選過明星賽,而 Luck 則在 4 年內 3 度參加 Pro Bowl。兩人各自在聯盟裡的地位相差甚遠,Conley 只能算是中產階級,Luck 則是聯盟頂級四分衛之一,而且美式足球在北美的市場遠大於籃球,結果卻是後者卻賺得比較少?
.
SB Nation 的作家 Tom Ziller 用幾點簡單的論述,解釋了這個看似詭異的現象:
.
1. 在 NBA 的勞資協議下,球員能分到近一半的聯盟盈餘,估計一年大約美金 30 億,而 NFL 的分帳規則相對複雜,還包括了各自球場的收入,最終分給球員的比例少於 50%,大約每年在 60 億美金左右。 NBA 每年共有 450 位球員(30 隊,每隊算 15 人),而 NFL 則是 1,696 名(32 隊,每隊算 53 人),透過簡單數學計算,NBA 球員平均薪資是 670 萬美金,而 NFL 只有 350 萬。
.
2. NBA 依據年資設定薪水上限,導致了中產階級薪水暴增。舉例來說,在聯盟打滾 13 年的 LeBron James ,今年的上限是球隊總薪資的 35%,依規定最多「只能」領 3,300 萬美金,但他在場上的價值極可能遠超過於此。
.
同樣的情況也發生在 Kevin Durant 身上,他有 9 年年資,上限只能領球隊薪資總額的 30%,這也是他會與金州勇士隊僅簽下兩年短約的主因(包含第二年球員選擇權),明年他將成為10 年老將,頂薪上限將提高為 35%。
.
球隊在手頭相對充裕的情況下,就會以較高的薪水延攬非明星球員,導致中產階級身價水漲船高。像是 Kent Bazemore 與 Chandler Parsons 等人就是受惠者。
.
"salary cap" 「薪資上限」,"salary" 是「薪水」,也可以用 "wage" 「工資」來替換,但一般說「最低薪資」會用 "minimum wage"。"cap" 除了是「棒球帽」以外,也是「蓋子」、「上限」的意思,當動詞有「加蓋」,還有「勝出」的意思。
.
例句:
"Stephen Curry capped the victory over the Thunders with a jaw-dropping buzzer-beater from half-court logo.
「Stephen Curry 以一記令人吃驚的半場三分球絕殺雷霆隊」
.
3. NBA 的新人規模相對小,而且身材條件比美式足球嚴苛,淘汰頻率相對低。這可以從平均職業生涯壽命看出端倪,根據各自的球員工會數據,NBA 的一位球員平均可以打 4.7 年,而 NFL 是 3.8 年。若以新科狀元薪資來看,NBA 的 Ben Simmons 第一年可以領 490 萬美金,而 NFL 的洛杉磯公羊隊狀元 Jared Goff 得賺四年才能勉強超過。
.
當我們說「人才庫」可以用 "pool" 這個字,"pool" 除了是「池子」以外,也是「資源匯集處」之意,而「球員人才庫」稱作 "player pool"。
.
【考考你】
那 "carpool" 又是什麼意思呢?可不是「車庫」喔!
.
4. NBA 大多數薪資合約都是保障合約,而 NFL 因為受傷風險較高、分工也比較細,只有少部分球員可以得到保證合約,因此薪資水平也就拉不上來。
.
"guaranteed contract","guarantee" 「保障」,相反的 "non-guaranteed contract" 是「未保障合約」,有可能因故被球團片面終止。唸起來有點相似 "warranty" 則是「保證書」或是「認可」,別搞錯囉。
.
堪稱網路酸哥的 NFL 匹茲堡鋼人隊跑鋒 DeAngelo Williams,在日前針對 NBA 自由球員「大頂薪時代」有感而發,在 Twitter 上寫到:「你說我酸沒關係,但這些領到 NBA 大合約的人我還得 Google 一下才知道是誰」。Williams 看在眼裡相當不是滋味,相信許多職業美式足球員也和他有同樣感受。
.
你覺得今年 NBA 自由球員市場誰領的合約最誇張嗎?誰又是物超所值呢(penny wise)?

The 1999 NBA season was the 53rd season of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Due to a lockout, the season did not start until February 5, 1999 after a new six-year Collective Bargaining Agreement was reached between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association. All 29 teams played a shortened 50-game regular season schedule- 61% of the regular 82 games- and the 16 teams who qualified for the playoffs played a full post-season schedule. That season's All-Star Game was also canceled. The season ended with the San Antonio Spurs winning the franchise's first NBA championship, beating the New York Knicks 4 games to 1 in the 1999 NBA Finals.
The second lockout in the history of the NBA lasted from July 1, 1998 to January 20, 1999. NBA owners were seeking changes to the league's salary cap system and a ceiling on individual player salaries. The National Basketball Players Association opposed the owners' plans and wanted raises for players who earned the league's minimum salary.
As the labor dispute continued into September, the preseason was shortened to just two games instead of the normal eight, and training camps were postponed indefinitely.[1] By October, it became the first time in NBA history that games were canceled due to a labor dispute.[2] Further games were canceled by November and December, including the All-Star Game, which had been scheduled to be played on February 14, 1999. The preseason also got cancelled as well.
An agreement between the owners and players was eventually reached on January 18, 1999. When play resumed, the regular season was shortened to 50 games per team, as opposed to the normal 82. As a result, some teams did not meet each other at all during the course of the shortened season. In addition, to preserve games between teams in the same conference, much of the time missed was made up for by skipping well over half of the games played between teams in the opposite conference. 1998--99 was the first season following the departure of Michael Jordan before he returned to play for the Washington Wizards. The New York Knicks became only the second #8 seed to advance in the playoffs by defeating a #1 seed. As of 2013, they remain the only #8 seed to have advanced to the NBA Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers played their final season at the Great Western Forum. Due to the fact that the Great Western Bank ceased to exist two seasons prior, the arena name was replaced by the team name on center court, in anticipation of the move to the Staples Center. The Los Angeles Clippers played their final season at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The Indiana Pacers played their final season at the Market Square Arena. The Denver Nuggets played their final season at the McNichols Sports Arena. The Miami Heat played their final season at the Miami Arena, although they still played the first two months of the following season at this arena before moving to the American Airlines Arena in January 2000. The Toronto Raptors played their first game in Air Canada Centre on February 21. The San Antonio Spurs became the first former ABA team to win a championship. (As of June 2012, they are still the only ABA franchise with a title; the Nets and Pacers have not won a title, and the Nuggets have never played an NBA Finals game.) The Atlanta Hawks played another season in the Georgia Dome while Philips Arena was constructed for the 1999--2000 season. This season would be the Hawks' last playoff appearance until the 2007--08 season. The Clippers tied the 1988-89 Miami Heat for the longest losing streak to start the season (17) from February 5 till March 11 when they defeated the Sacramento Kings. In December 2009, this record was broken by the New Jersey Nets who lost the first eighteen games of the season. Hall of Fame coach Red Holzman died on November 13, 1998 at age 78.

After a drawn-out recruitment by the Memphis Grizzlies, Iverson finally confirmed Wednesday morning that he is indeed ready to sign with them, announcing via his Twitter feed: "God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career."
Referring to a Monday meeting with Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley, general manager Chris Wallace and head coach Lionel Hollins, Iverson added: "I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them."
The Grizzlies are believed to be offering Iverson a one-year deal worth $3.5 million, which is far less than the nearly $21 million he earned last season in Denver and Detroit but more than anyone else was prepared to pay the 34-year-old.
At Heisley's behest, Memphis has been pursuing Iverson since July, ignoring concerns about his willingness to accept a reserve role or his ability to co-exist in the same offense with Mayo, Gay and Randolph because of Iverson's presumed ability to generate interest and sell tickets. The Grizzlies, throughout Heisley's ownership, have languished in the shadow of the Memphis Tigers' many successes in the collegiate game.
Grizzlies officials have yet to formally announce the signing but have made it clear since last week that they have merely been waiting for Iverson to take their offer.
In a radio interview Tuesday with WHBQ-AM in Memphis, Wallace sounded hopeful about Iverson ultimately joining the team, saying: "We had a very productive meeting yesterday where both sides got to know each other and what our expectations were. We got to hear Allen out, he got to hear us out and I thought it went pretty well."
Asked specifically about Iverson's well-known aversion to coming off the bench, Wallace said: "He indicated to us that he just wants to come in and help a team out, to get better, to win, and he'll shine during that process. I think Allen Iverson is going to be very fine with whatever role he would end up fulfilling here in Memphis. ... He knows where we're coming from, we know where he's coming from and I think if he comes here it's going to be a very productive marriage."
Monday's sitdown in Atlanta was the first face-to-face contact between Iverson and Grizzlies officials since the process began, with Memphis negotiating to this point primarily with Leon Rose, Iverson's agent.
Iverson has spent much of the past two months hoping that a firm offer would materialize from the Miami Heat, New York Knicks or Charlotte Bobcats, with the latter presenting the possibility of a reunion with former coach Larry Brown. But Iverson was ultimately forced to concede that only the Grizzlies had the financial flexibility and definite interest to pay him more than a minimum salary after his nightmarish stint with the Pistons.
Iverson played in only 57 games last season after being dealt by Denver to Detroit less than a week into the season and averaged a career-low 17.5 points, hampered by a back injury and his open struggles to cope with coming off the bench for the first time in his career. He would end up leaving the Pistons in April by mutual agreement before the playoffs.
But Iverson has insisted in recent days that he is amenable to whatever the Grizzlies have in mind for him as well as the steep drop from last season's salary, writing via Twitter: "Memphis is a place that I would love to play. The Grizzlies have good young players with a great upside. I love the city of Memphis, too.
"I would lead by example," Iverson wrote.
With Mayo at the same position, Mike Conley returning at point guard and Randolph's arrival over the summer, bringing in Iverson would appear to run counter to the Grizzlies' previous intent to develop a group of youngsters which also includes center Marc Gasol and No. 2 overall draft pick Hasheem Thabeet.
Yet in a July interview with ESPN.com, Heisley disputed suggestions that signing Iverson -- the sort of drawing card that the Grizzlies have never had in an eight-season run in Memphis marked by notoriously low attendance figures -- was dangerous or purely motivated by the prospect of ticket sales.
"What appeals to me?" Heisley said, repeating the question. "He's one of the greatest players in the last 10 years in the NBA."
In an interview Wednesday with NBA.com, Heisley said: "He told us he was very interested in playing with the young team we've assembled. He thought he could help us win and he was looking forward to helping the young players, and helping them to develop. Frankly, I'm ecstatic to have him.
"I don't buy into all of the stuff that's gone on. I'm not saying none of it happened. Some of it did ... but I know Allen is an excellent player. He's going to the Hall of Fame. ... The city of Memphis is going to be ecstatic to have him. We've never had a Hall of Famer, a guy of Allen's stature playing in Memphis. I feel Allen is going to be outstanding for us."
