The Knicks' uniform team was also prepared for this, so the work was very fast, and on the same day, the owner James Dolan and head coach Shakshewski visited Lamar.

Lamar, after many kind words from James Dolan and Coach K, finally stopped insisting on his opinion and signed a huge contract with the Knicks with an average annual salary of nearly 24 million and a contract period of 5 years (2017 and 2018 player options). Originally, the price offered by the Knicks was even higher, but Lamar chose to take the initiative to reduce his salary considering the contract problems of Wade and Curry and others.

No one in the league would think the amount was too much, because Lamar deserved the contract.

After learning the news of Lamar's early contract extension with the New York Knicks, the current owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Buss Jr., the son of Dr. Buss, said sourly to the media interviewing him: "If Lamar is willing to come to Los Angeles, we are also willing to provide him with a contract of the same amount, and even the price can be negotiated, but it is obvious that Lamar does not want to leave New York at all." To be honest, Mr. Knicks James Dolan earned it again this time, and in my opinion, the so-called top salary in the league is completely unworthy of Lamar's worth. ”

And Alexander, the owner of the Houston Rockets, who has always been stingy, also complained at this time, and everyone knows that since the retirement of the drug name, his wallet has dried up a lot: "Everyone knows that Dolan has relied on Lamar to make huge profits from fans over the years." If I would like to come to Houston, I would simply set my annual salary at 30 million. As for the length of the contract, Lamar can sign whatever he wants!"

Lamar and the Knicks reached a new contract again, and it was not only the teams that were able to sign Lamar that were disappointed, but even the San Antonio Spurs veteran coach Zhuge Vic, who has always been shrewd and wise, and was known for his careful calculations, showed rare madness and expressed his willingness to do whatever it took to get Lamar.

The New York Knicks' strength still looks to continue, and over the years, in order to upend the Knicks' dynasty, the rest of the league's championship-aspiring teams have engaged in an arms race every year in an attempt to become the hero of the Knicks.

It's a pity that although Lamar is 34 years old and has experienced a major injury, it seems that his form has not been affected too much, and the rapid forward momentum of the New York Knicks is still unstoppable.

Looking at the entire league, the only teams that can still cause a little trouble for the Knicks are James, Howard, Phoenix Suns and Durant, Westbrook and the Krahoma City Thunder.

After the summer of 2013, these two teams can be said to be strong, but unfortunately with their strength, although they can slow down the pace of Knicks, it is obviously impossible to completely stop the Knicks from reaching the top.

Lamar, who has recovered his health, is as brave as ever, and has not experienced a decline in form as expected by experts, and has even once again shown the world what the god of basketball is. At the age of 34, he can still maintain the peak strength of about 27 or 8 years old, can still hand in the regular season data of an average triple-double per game, and still has the ability to beat a group of new generation stars to sit on the first throne in the league.

After the start of the 2013-2014 season, Lamar not only maintained full attendance in the regular season, but even averaged a triple-double of 23.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.9 blocks per game that stunned many experts.

The most unbelievable thing is that this guy broke out in the playoffs even better than in the regular season. Throughout the playoffs, Lamar posted two more incredible quadruple-doubles.

Of course, in the current Knicks lineup, it is not only Lamar who is outstanding, and Wade does not need to say much.

In recent years, he has gradually taken over the power of Lamar, and the former babyface now has the temperament of a leader. Not only did he contribute 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.9 blocks during the regular season, but he also replaced Lamar as the Knicks' scoring champion in the playoffs.

In addition to Wade, the talents of Stephen Curry and Paul George have also been successfully realized this season.

Curry's three-point is needless to say, as early as last season, this guy relied on this amazing three-point to turn the tide many times and save the Knicks from the dire situation. This season, Curry has made small adjustments to his weaknesses, not to mention the accuracy of his three-point shooting, and even the injuries that have been limiting his play seem to be gradually moving away from him. Curry played in 80 regular season games this season, contributing 22.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.5 steals to the team.

Paul George was favored by Lamar before the draft, and has been carefully developed by the team since joining the Knicks. And Paul George has not lived up to Lamar's trust, and has been making continuous progress since joining the Knicks, and this season has finally let the league's swing guards see the demeanor of the strongest 3D players, not only during the regular season, but also once achieved a clean sheet against the little emperor LeBron James during the Finals.

The Knicks also relied on Paul George's close defense against LeBron James during the Finals to achieve a sweeping record in the Finals for the first time.

Relying on the mutual support of these new and old cores, the Knicks handed over a 77-5 record in the regular season this season, once again brushing the best record in the regular season.

The Knicks entered the playoffs as the first in the league with the momentum of no one else, and the rest of the playoff teams faced the Knicks like a mantis arm without any hope of qualifying.

The Knicks' prowess is clear at a glance, almost to the point of being unstoppable, and there is no opponent in the league today who can make them feel intimidated.

With six consecutive championships, the New Yorkers are one step closer to the Bostoners' record of eight consecutive championships, and the Big Apple is once again in a wave of crazy celebrations.

It's just that the atmosphere this time is a little worse than before, and it's clear that so many years of championship have made New Yorkers a little numb.

Obviously, a simple title is no longer enough, and now New York fans are looking forward to nine consecutive championships, surpassing the greatest team in history, the Boston Celtics, as the only record holder in league history.

In the past, the New Yorkers would have only made fans of the rest of the league scoff at them, thinking they were dreaming. But now it's different, because fans know that New York has Lamar, a legend who hasn't stepped down at the age of 35, and a myth that can still carry the whole team at the age of 35.

But just when the New York Knicks followed the footsteps of six consecutive championships, created seven consecutive championships, eight consecutive championships, and then looked forward to the great cause of nine consecutive championships, and were ready to make persistent efforts and achieve better results in the new season, they experienced a bloody storm.

In the summer of 2016, as negotiations began to restart on new television contracts, so did the NBA's collective bargaining sessions, and the league began to face a shutdown.

The league faces such crises every few years, and the one in '98 led directly to the retirement of basketball god Michael Jordan, and the most recent collective bargaining was in 2011.

Due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the negotiations between labor and management were held in advance in 2009, but unfortunately the negotiations did not go smoothly due to the management's insistence on a hard salary cap and a reduction in the length of the contract, which led to the suspension of the summer league and preseason in 2011, and the reduction of the regular season to 66 games.

The resumption of collective bargaining this time is obviously much more relaxed than the last one, after all, time is money, and neither labor nor management wants to experience another shutdown like in 2011.

For this reason, the league took the initiative to hold a press conference to affirm that this time it will not face the crisis of summer league cancellations, preseason cancellations, and regular season shrinkage like the last time.

But in the face of such huge benefits, who can not be tempted? So many players are still very worried in their hearts, and they have no bottom at all. In order not to be desperate, these guys began to go abroad in search of opportunities.

The 38-year-old Ginobili went to his native Argentina.

Pau Gasol also returned to Spain.

Parker returned to France.

Of course, there are also many stars whose own national basketball is not very good, so they defected to China, the country with the most fans today.

There are even some powerful, influential, and thoughtful stars who have gathered a group of friends and spontaneously organized friendly matches and exchange matches.

Wade was one of them, and this guy pulled the guys from the Knicks, plus some good personal friends, formed the New York Federation and started playing all over Asia.

And LeBron James is naturally not willing to be lonely, pulling a group of Phoenix's younger brothers, plus a group of friends in the 03, 04, and 05 worlds such as Bosh, Anthony, and Delong, and established a temporary All-Star team.

In fact, he also received invitations from some foreign clubs, and the conditions offered could be said to be extremely generous, but to everyone's surprise, Lamar refused without hesitation, and did not give these people any room for bargaining.

What's even more surprising is that Lamar immediately announced his plans to retire and return to his family after the new season.

The world is crazy!

Fans don't know what Lamar wants to do! Family? If you continue to play, you can't care about your family? After all these years of stumbling over, do you still care about how many years it takes?

You must know that although Lamar is now 37 years old, his state has also declined compared to the previous two years, but he can still contribute 18+8+5 per game, which is still much better than those veterans, and he is still the top existence in the league on the inside.

And Lamar and the Knicks still have 3 years and 90 million contracts left, plus those endorsement contracts with other advertisers. 2k reading web
