All that means is that after you have your best offer from another team you have to present it to your present club to see if they want to match it. For example, using Ben again, he gets an offer from Boston for $200,000 a year for five years. Then the Jazz have the right to match both the money and the time involved. Any incentives written in, such as another $25,000 for a certain number of rebounds in a year, must also be matched. IF THE original club matched the best offer, then the player is obligated to stay. If not, then the player can go and sign with the other club. One problem has arisen over this issue this last year according to the Jazz front office. Scott Wedman of Kansas City was offered a big contract by Cleveland. One of the things mentioned in his offer was a water front home. Well Kansas City doesn't own any such property, so they couldnt match it. The NBA office is still deciding on the issue. It would be like Utah offering the Great Salt Lake, it couldn't be' matched. THEN THE word compensation comes into play. You re- member that-th- e thing the baseball people are striking Host Students From School Last One-room MR. AND Mrs. RoyW. Simmons took a special interest in (his small school and last week invited the II students, the teacher and two of the parents as their guests for three days. Mrs. Doris Taggert hosted some of the students ut her home during the stay. The group enjoyed the hospitality of the Simmons and Mrs. Taggert. The school ranges from kindergarten to the eighth grade and isaunique school. It was a dclighful experience for the children to visit in Kaysville and the sur- rounding area during their stay, np A free agent must show his original club the offer in writing on an official NBA form in order for them to decide whether or not to match the offer. Otherwise some guy could say he was offered $1 million a year for life when he never was. It also protect the clubs. What if a club wanted to see if the original club would pay a large amount so offered it in jest just to find out. Well, once the official NBA form is filled out and signed by the club making the new offer if the original club won't match it, then that becomes a contract. SOME OF the new free agents are making a killing and the owners are shouting, but when all the air is cleared, those same owners are creating the large amounts. If they didn't offer those back up centers $850,000 a year, then the starters wouldn't get as much. Who can blame the players if the owners are willing to dip into the wallet that much. If the owners got together and said the limit to offer a free agent would be $200,000 a year, then that's where the salaries would stay. But they don't, and the salaries keep going up and in the long run who pays for it? Ha ve you seen the price of tickets?

Well, in basketball, the commissioner used to decide what was fair, but that stopped two years ago.

Those darn free agents are the ones that have the salaries up where they are today. To become a free agent all a player has to do is play out his contract. If he signed for two years, then after the second year he is eligible to become a free agent. To get around this situation what most clubs do is during the second year. them, thats what your agent is for. After you talk to them and your agent talks bucks with them, then you get together with your agent and decide whats best for you. Ben went on to add that he selected the Jazz simply because he that Reagan is "insensilise' to the plight of the poor and working class. In President Reagan's June 16 press confer- ence he answered O'Neill's charges and called them "sheer demogguery" and pointed out that although he hadn't hed on the other side of t he tracks, he loeJ so to them that he could hear the cle tram whistle loud enough.

Many folks have stopped me on the street to ask my thoughts on the subject. Those many folks adJ up to my wife asking me once what 1 thought. AS FAR as Im concerned I donl really care lhal there is no major league baseball. That's not to say lhal I'm against the game. I guess it's just the fact that living here in Utah we don't gel to see the majors play so we really don't have the chance lo miss it. One good thing about Ihc strike that I sec is that the local television stations really have to come up with local stuff to fill the slot where they used to rattle olT the scores. Now I'm a sports fan from the word go. but I realty don't want to hear the scores each night. Baseball isn't the only ones in this boat. I don't care to hear National Hockey League scores cither, or the NBA scores each night. Just focalize the thing, tell us how bad the J got beat and I'm happy. iti $32,057,777 percent of his By DAVE WIGHAM d tax cul. I'm hopeful that a majority of Congressmen d! ignore the Speaker's misleading comments and will vote wnh the President on his tax cut. In the end. passage of PresKlenl Reagan's economic package will gise Americans greater incentives to work, produce and vase. IN IT All. as everywhere else in the nation this tax cut wdl take money out c4 the public sector and place it in the productne percale sector. To those who don't think the President's cuts will week. I e3 them to go ask any mcrcSmt re barker m Utah if an r.fuX of $J4 mMt wont K'p them. SPORTS ISVT the only gripe in this area either, while I'm on the subject. I for one couldn't care kss what the weather was like in New York all all day. Just tell me what it's going to be like tomorrow here in Utah so I can plan my golf game accordingly. Well anyway back lo the strike. My biggest question would have to be where is Bowie Kuhn the Commissioner of the sport. Usually anything major happens and he steps right in and throws in his two ccnis worth and settles the issue. THE WHOLE strike revolves around the compen sa'.ion thing and the commissioner seems to want nothing to do with it. Yet he's the same guy that will x eto a trade betw ecn two teamx simply because in hix minJ it isn't good for baseball. Is this strike good for the game? Heavens Bowie step in and take control. They have some guy from the government trying to get the two sides together and thiv guy probably doesn't even care if baseball is ever played again or not. B ASER ALL HAS always been run on a dictatorship level and yet when they need him the most Mr. Kuhn is no where to be seen or heard from. Another point that gets to me is the fact that the owners don't bargain for themselves. They have a guy, they must be paying a fortune to. to go in and argue for them. If I'm in a light w iih someone I w ould just as soon be looking that guy in the face than some negotiator that he's sent in. THE PLATERS have sent four of their own to battle this thing out. I honestly feel if the owners would do the same then baseball would be in action again in a short time. Try and tell me George Stein-brennwouldn't iron this thing out in a hurry. Then too. we the fans have to believe they are seriously trying to settle the strike when they meet for 15 minutes every four days. Come on guys, what goes on in these meetings that last about 15 big ones. I can see it now. they all get in there and then Ray Greeby. the owners mam man. says we haven't changed our mindv let's go home and watch Bonanza, er tilt NOW BIG thing is the owners insurance policy that pays them for every game they mivs. Pay them to the tunc of Slort.oiio each contest. No wonder the owners arc in no hurry . Without salaries to pay and the such, they coulJ make money without playing. now I don't mivs the game, tven the Saturday games with Tony and Joe were getting out of hand. Let's sec this week do w e get to see Cincinnati Los Angeles? AnJ I enjoy the sports on television w ithout all thtwe Siring scores, kf s see more of that local stuff. IF THEY want to settk the strike I have two easy steps to do it Number one get Bowie Kuhn to lake some action on the matter -- for the gooJ of the game". AnJ number two get ttJ of the middle man and get some owners in there. Maybe if the insurance company refuses to pay the owners would get going in a hurry. |
