I'm the owner of the Lakers

"Wait, David, do it the other way around, it's like I'm begging you." Xiao Yang called out to Stern, who was about to hang up the phone, in pain.

"So what do you want?" Stern is also a little sore, he doesn't want to mess with Xiao Yang here, otherwise he will accidentally be bypassed by this kid again.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous, David, I don't want your money." Xiao Yang was alive like a little fox at the moment.

"Ahem, I'd rather you ask me for money." Stern looked uncomfortable, touched his nose and said.

"What is our relationship, talk about money is more common, well, the Lakers still have several draft picks in hand, there is no lack of weak brigades such as the Grizzlies Sun, when the time comes, get me a top three pick." Xiao Yanglion opened his mouth.

"Poof, don't even think about it, the league's draw is fair, it is impossible to get you this, and one of your songs is not worth so much!" Stern almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, this kid dared to say anything on the phone.

The league will do tricks on the draw at some point, but this will certainly not let the teams below know ah, even if everyone knows in their hearts that the league is supporting a certain team, but it is just an unspoken rule, no one will say broken.

Xiao Yang did not intend Stern to agree to this on the phone, and he did not dare to think that the Lakers are now strong, and the league can no longer deliberately get a top three draft pick to the Lakers.

But negotiation, it's all like this, first set a high price, wait for the other party to refuse, and then quote a low price, so that the other party may accept.

Xiao Yang pouted and continued to say with a smile.

"In this way, David, it's okay not to give a pick, you just need to say a few words to the referee below, and lean a little bit towards the Lakers in future games, how about it, this is always okay!"

This is Xiao Yang's ultimate goal, to get the help of CP3 in the game, forming an 8-on-5, haha, even if you can't be cared for by the referee like a team in the future, at least don't let the Lakers play 5 on 8.

"Ahem, the league is fair, and it will definitely not let the Lakers suffer unfair penalties in the game!" Stern said on the phone.

Xiao Yang was overjoyed when he heard it, although Stern did not say it clearly, but Xiao Yang understood that Stern said this sentence on behalf of him having agreed to the conditions of taking care of the Lakers in the game.

Yes, if the Lakers will not suffer unfair penalties in the game, then it is not certain that the Lakers' opponents will suffer unfair penalties.

This old fox, dripping water, sighed.

"Okay, I'll get the song out as soon as possible, by the way, who are you going to sing to?" Xiao Yang asked in advance, after all, some songs are suitable for male voices, and some songs are suitable for female voices, it is better to ask clearly first.

"What do you think of yourself?" Stern said lightly on the phone.

"Me?" Xiao Yangleng paused, "Don't be funny, I'm not a singer, and you're not afraid that I'll mess up in such a big scene." "

Xiao Yang also sang it once in the studio the last time he recorded a sample of my eternal heart, and the effect was quite good, but after so long, Xiao Yang has not sung a few times seriously.

Although his voice is indeed very magnetic, some skills are still not as good as those of professional singers.

"That's right, you." Stern said seriously on the other end of the phone.

"I want you to stand on the field and sing for the crowd during the All-Star halftime." Stern spoke his mind.

"You are the young owner of the NBA, and there is no one better suited to represent the NBA than you, especially on Michael's final All-Star stage, and your appearance can ease the relationship between management and labor in the league." Stern said slowly.

Xiao Yang reacted to this, yes, in March this year, the labor and management sides will negotiate a new collective agreement, but in the end it has not been able to negotiate, resulting in this year's offseason has been suspended until the end of January '99 to officially start the 98-99 season.

In addition to the disagreement between labor and management on player wages, part of the reason for the breakdown of negotiations is that the relationship between labor and management has always been very stiff.

Stern realized this, so he wanted to use the reason of Jordan's retirement to first make a grand All-Star as Jordan's retirement party, and then send the youngest in the fund, who is also the owner of the Lakers, to sing on stage to ease the relationship with the players.

It also lays a foundation for new collective bargaining.

"Well, I don't know how far I can sing." Xiao Yang thought for a moment and said.

To be honest, he doesn't want the league to be shut down for so long this offseason, so he's happy to do his part to help the league.

"It's okay, your appearance is just an attitude of the alliance capital, and it's not a Grammy, as long as you don't go out of tune." Stern was very open-minded.

"This, okay, then I'll go next." Xiao Yang thought for a while and agreed, if the requirements are not high, he can indeed complete it very well, then it was decided that Xiao Yang was still very excited that he could stand on the world stage and sing.
