In a moment, all 29 general managers except Morey agreed.
In the players union, apart from Irving who disagrees, Antetokounmpo also agrees.
Xiao Hua was quite satisfied when he saw this result.
Even this far exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that the vast majority of general managers would not agree, and he prepared a large set of rhetoric to persuade these general managers, but it turned out that he no longer needed it.
As for General Manager Morey, and Players Association Vice Chairman Irving don't agree, just ignore them.
Although the league just passed a rule last year, as long as one team disagrees with it, any resolution cannot be implemented.
But since Xiao Hua took office, any rules have been flexible.
Rules can be broken when necessary.
Let alone one or two people who oppose it, even if there are tens of millions of people who oppose it, as long as it can make money, it can be broken.
When gambling was first introduced to the NBA, there were so many people opposed to it.
What happened next?
Xiao Hua ignored their objections and introduced gambling.
nba owners made more money after that;
Players make more money;
Referees make more money;
All NBA workers are making more money.
Everyone said yes.
So Xiao Hua is still a bit dictatorial sometimes.
Irving and Morey object, let them oppose theirs, and I will do mine.
At this time, Xiao Hua nodded with satisfaction and said to all the general managers:
"Since everyone agrees, I will call the owners of each team to report the matter one by one."
"It doesn't matter if Morey disagrees. I will report this to your boss. Then you can see if your boss agrees."
"It doesn't matter if you disagree, Owen. I proposed this resolution based on the overall interests of the league."
Irving said with a dark face at this time: "Then you don't have to invite our players union to attend the meeting. You don't take the players union seriously at all."
Xiao Hua had that iconic smile on his face: "All the decisions we make are based on the overall interests of the league."
Owen laughed angrily:
"The overall interests of the league? If you do this, next season Wang Yi will form the Super Big Three, then what else will other teams have to play? By then, the attractiveness of NBA games will inevitably decrease, and the attention of NBA will also decrease. You
Are you saying this is taking everyone’s overall interests into consideration?”
Only then did Xiao Hua speak:
"I have two points to make. First, the reason Wang Yi is willing to come back is because I promised Wang Yi that his salary next season will not be included in the team's total salary. Do you think this is for the overall benefit of the league?"
"If I had not agreed to this and Wang Yi had not come back, then the NBA would still be half-dead. It would be impossible for hundreds of millions of people to watch a play-off game. Just by Wang Yi coming back and playing 9 games, the league would make more money.
Tens of millions of dollars, don’t you think this is for the benefit of the alliance?”
Irving was speechless, but still refused to accept it. He only said: "God."
Xiao Hua then said: "Second, I promised Wang Yi that his salary will not be included in the team's total salary next season, but I did not promise him to do this every season."
"Let's first see what the overall effect will be after he forms the Big Three next season. If the final result proves that the attention of the NBA has indeed dropped significantly, which will be detrimental to the league, then next season, we
Stop negotiating."
"On the contrary, if the Big Three he formed do not significantly reduce the NBA's attention and make the NBA less money, then this model will remain in the future."
When Xiao Hua said this, the other general managers nodded.
It seems that Xiao Hua has indeed been thinking about it for a long time and has thought of various situations.
His various methods of dealing with subsequent problems are acceptable to every team.
When Antetokounmpo heard this, he nodded convinced:
"What the president said is good. We must proceed from the overall interests."
Only general manager Morey kept frowning and said nothing.
Owen kept shaking his head at this time and said to the general managers:
"I said, this destroys the overall balance. When Wang Yi wants 100 million U.S. dollars, will you also give him 100 million U.S. dollars? If yes, Wang Yi will be happy with 100 million U.S. dollars, and the alliance still has many
The players have to worry about their livelihood, and even have to stay at their teammates' homes and sleep on the sofa."
"God, you will never allow this to happen."
Then he reiterated again: "I am the vice president of the players union. I can deny any resolution of the president. I will never allow such a resolution to be passed."
After saying that, he stood up directly.
Shaking his head and sighing "Oh God", he strode out of the meeting room.
Since the disintegration of the Bucks' Big Five, Irving has now returned to the Cavaliers.
He had achieved success here, so in the twilight years of his career, he wanted to return to the place where his dream began.
This year's Cavaliers also entered the playoffs through the play-offs and ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference.
After Irving left the meeting room, he flew directly back to Cleveland.
Before getting on the plane, he tweeted.
On Twitter is a picture.
In the painting, there is a god looking down on all living beings from the sky.
Below this picture is the text: "God says: All living beings are equal."
As soon as his tweet came out, it immediately aroused discussions among many fans.
Irving always likes to talk about some weird things. In recent years, his Twitter has almost become a religious propaganda platform.
Every update he makes is like this, both mysterious and mysterious.
At the same time, many reporters also smelled it.
Every time Irving posts something, although it may seem like he is talking nonsense, it is never without purpose.
It seems like something happened again.
I heard that Irving went to the league meeting this morning. It seems like something must have happened at the meeting.
So many reporters quickly rushed to Cleveland, trying to get some news about the meeting from Irving.
It's just that after Irving returned to Cleveland, he went directly back to his residence and stayed behind closed doors.
He did not even participate in the team's internal training in preparation for the playoffs.
On the open training day, reporters rushed into the Cleveland Arena, trying to find Irving, but they couldn't find him.
When they asked the team's general manager and the team's coach, they all shook their heads.
"Kaili is feeling unwell and resting at home."
However, according to insider information, even the general manager and coach were unable to contact Irving.
It seems that Irving's old habits are back again.
There have been many times before that the team could not contact him and no one could find him.
I thought he could take it easy with the playoffs starting.
I didn't expect it to come again.

Chapter completed!
