- 14. Impasse in ContractNegotiations A bargaining impasse occurs when the two sides negotiating an agreement are unable to reach an agreement and become hopelessly deadlocked. Typically an impasse is almost invariably mutually harmful to both sides either as a result of direct action which may be taken such as a strike or in the NBA would result in a lockout, as seen in 2011. Negative recourse/action in occurs resulting in delay in the negotiating of a mutually beneficial agreement
- 15. 2011 Lockout inthe N.B.A. Method to split revenue: Owners are demanding the institution of a first-ever hard salary cap, set at $62 million, to roll back salaries by around 33%, or $800 million annually. Players want to continue the soft-cap system that lets teams exceed the cap when they re-sign their own players, but have offered to take $100 million in annual cuts. The cap now is $58 million. - Dividing the loot: Owners want at least a 50-50 split of revenue, although players contend that the owners’ proposal calls for them to get a 61-39 advantage at the end of a 10-year deal. Players get a 57-43 split now and want it to continue in a five-year deal. - What the players get: Owners say their proposal would give players the same $2 billion they make now in salaries and benefits. Owners contend players’ last proposal would give them in excess of $3 billion, while players dispute that but refuse to divulge their demands. - Guaranteed contracts: Owners have come off their demand to eliminate guaranteed deals entirely. They’re looking to reduce the 6- and 5-year deals to 5- and 3-year deals. Players want to continue getting 6-year deals for re-signing with their own teams and 5-year deals for joining a new team. - Guaranteed annual raises: Players presently get 10.5% if they re-sign with their own teams or 8% if they go to new teams. Although they haven’t announced their demands, owners want to slash those to 5% and 3%.
