"Hey! Hello! ”

Sun Yue, who was having breakfast with two special training teammates, suddenly received a call from her agent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes! Ha ha......!

Watching the Hebei guy who answered the phone and returned to the restaurant with his hands dancing, Sun Yi and Yi Jian looked at each other and smiled, this kid's contract should be done.

$5 million for three years, with the first two years being fully guaranteed contracts and the final year being a team option. This is the new season contract that the Knicks have offered to the Chinese players who joined the team in the middle of this season, and to be honest, the amount of this contract is really not high. But the full guarantee for the first two years partly reflects the sincerity of the Knicks, which is something that Sun Yue has a hard time getting from other NBA teams.

With the Knicks signing the contract, Chapman's summer reinforcement plan has finally begun.

Bossed by James. Dolan's Knicks vice president first needs to deal with the signing of some players whose contracts have expired.

Among them, David averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds per game last season. Li (with the arrival of Sun Yi, David. Lee's stats are down from the original time-to-space) and he is the player the team values the most. A big four-year contract with a total salary of $41 million stunned the white power forward in an instant.

Successfully activated by head coach D'Antoni in '03. Milicic played in 59 games this past season, including 21 starts, and had 12 points and seven boards. The final year of the $7 million contract is a team option, and Chapman has decided to drop Milicic's contract for this year after consulting with the other party's agent. Instead, he offered the Serbian handsome man a four-year, $25 million long-term contract, with the final year still a team option.

After getting these two big men that many teams are paying attention to, the Knicks general manager has successively offered contracts to some young players on the team for the new season.

Steve, who didn't get many appearances. Novak, signed a two-year, $3 million contract. Sun Yi's hardcore brother Shannon. Brown, although has been dominated by Richardson and Gerald. Green was firmly on the bench, but his hard work in practice and the team's pistachio function led to the Knicks offering a three-year, $7 million contract for the new season.

As for veteran point guard Darrick, backup center Randolph. Morris and Dony, who switched from the Wizards. Thomas will disappear from the Knicks' roster for the upcoming season.

Compared to the New York Giants, who are busy renewing players, the rest of the NBA's teams began construction work for the new season soon after the draft ended.

On June 24, the Bucks sent small forward Richard Jefferson to the Spurs for Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto and Curt Thomas. A few hours later, Oberto was traded again by the Bucks, who traded him from the Pistons for forward Amir Johnson.

Former All-Star small forward Jefferson teamed up with the Spurs' GDP combination, and this bombshell news kicked off the summer arms race between the teams.

A day later, the Hawks sent Assi Law III and Claxton to the Warriors' Jamal Crawford. Atlantans finally got their long-awaited outside killer, Crawford and Joe. Johnson, Mike. Bibby, Josh. Smith, Al Horford, Marvin. Williams makes up the main lineup of the Hawks for the new season.

Just two hours after the deal, the Suns and Cavaliers announced at the same time that Big Shark O'Neal would be trading with Ben. Wallace and Pavlovich swapped owners. Little Emperor James has finally waited for a reliable helper, but the former league's best center, who is over 37 years old, seems to have come to Cleveland a few years earlier.

In fact, the Cavaliers wanted to complete the deal back in February of this year. Due to the obvious decline in the form of the main center big Z, the addition of O'Neal can inject a dominance into their interior line. In last season's Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers clearly faced Dwight. Howard was helpless, which also made the management and the little emperor very unhappy.

On June 26, the Timberwolves added No. 45 rookie Greek point guard Nick Brown. Caraheath sent the Mavericks in exchange for a 2010 second-round pick and some cash.

The Kings and the Trail Blazers made a deal to trade the No. 31 pick for the Trail Blazers' point guard, Sergio. Rodriguez and the No. 38 pick.

The Thunder used the 24th-ranked French guard Rodrigo Brown. Bubaho traded a 2010 second-round pick for the Mavericks at No. 23 in the selection of B.J. Mulens.

The Hornets traded a future second-round pick and some cash for the Heat's No. 43 pick Marcus. Thornton.

The Rockets bought No. 32 rookie Jeremy from the Washington Wizards for $2.5 million. Taylor's signing rights were used to buy No. 34 rookie Sergio from the Nuggets in cash. Luhr's signing rights in exchange for a future two-round pick and some cash from the Detroit Pistons for No. 44 rookie Chase. Bardinger's right to sign.

The Rockets, who signed three second-round rookies in a row in one day, seem to have a big plan brewing.

The Los Angeles Lakers traded the signing rights of No. 42 rookie Patrick Beverley to the Miami Heat in exchange for a future draft pick and some cash.

On this day, the most important trade took place between the two Eastern Conference teams.

Nets will Vince . Carter and Lane. Anderson sent Magic in exchange for Rafal. Alstom, Tony. Barty and Courtney. Plum. The Magic got Carter in the deal if they can keep Turkoglou, who jumped out of contract this summer. Then by Howard, Rassad. The lineup of Lewis and Nelson will once again make the Magic a strong contender for the Eastern Conference title.

……

Watching other NBA teams make moves, Knicks general manager Chapman still looks unhurried. After securing the contract renewal of the young players in the team, he suddenly made a move on the day when the free agent market opened.

On July 1, the Knicks announced that they had signed a free agent with 33-year-old Andre Brown. Miller agreed to sign a three-year, $20 million contract.

Last season, although Chinese rookie Sun Yi shocked the league with his outstanding play and unparalleled talent, the young point guard looked more like a cold-blooded killer most of the time. In some key moments of the game, the Chinese guy who turned into a scorer will make the Knicks' offense lack a qualified playmaker.

Originally, Chapman and D'Antoni's first goal was to become a free agent this year for the Suns. Nash, the Knicks coach who is the mentor of the other party, has also called many times to persuade the former league MVP, who has been disillusioned with the championship, to decide to live in Phoenix for the rest of his life.

In desperation, Chapman had no choice but to set his sights on Old Miller, who made Sun Yi suffer a lot last season. In fact, the Trail Blazers also offered the former 76ers point guard a contract for a slightly higher amount than the Knicks. But the temptation of the world's first city is indeed not comparable to that of a mere nearly a million dollars.

Of course, before the team was ready to sign Miller, Chapman had specifically called the team's future cornerstone to ask Sun Yi for advice. After the other party nods, the contract quotation is sent. Something like this, if not communicated well in advance, can easily cause internal turmoil.

Andre. Miller's arrival has given the young Knicks an experienced playmaker.

On July 2, the Pistons announced that Michael. Curry gets out of class, John. Kuster took over.

The next day, Detroit signed two big men from the free market. Root. Gordon, with a contract amount of 55 million for 5 years, Charlie. Villanova, the contract amount is 40 million for 5 years.

Immediately afterward, the Dallas Mavericks announced that they had teamed up with the team's core point guard Jason. Kidd signed a new three-year, $25 million contract extension.

……

On July 9, one of the most unexpected signings took place.

In this year's playoffs Western Conference Finals, he almost faced Kobe. Bryant fights Ron. Artest actually joined the Los Angeles Lakers on a five-year, $33 million contract.

For a time, countless rocket fans scolded this ungrateful villain on various occasions. From a darling to a sinner, it only takes one decision.

Not to be outdone, the Rockets, who suffered a dumb loss, immediately announced the signing of Lakers veteran Trevor for three years and $18 million. Ariza. It seems that these two western powerhouses have a lot of highlights in the showdown in the new season.

Another important signing belongs to the Boston Celtics, who roared at Rashid. Wallace signed with the Clover as a free agent for two years. In this way, with Rondo, Ray. Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Rashid. Wallace's Green Shirts have a luxurious lineup for the new season.

……

On July 12, Sun Yi and the three of them prepared to return to China to prepare for the Asian Championships on the same day after completing the summer special training. The New York Knicks, who had been silent in the trading market for a while, finally made another move.

Former NBA dunk king Gerard. Green and Pistons young quarterback Aaron. Afraro swaps owners. It's not a big deal, but it's just a foreshadowing of another player's arrival.

A few hours later, both the Knicks and the Hornets announced that Tyson. Chandler and Kwame. Brown, Kun Ting. Richardson completes the three-man deal.

Although the boxing king's form has slipped this season due to injury, he is still the big man that many teams want this summer.

In addition to Chandler's offer to management in February this year that the deal did not go through, the Hornets, who were ready to get rid of his multi-million contract, released rumors of a trade early on.

If the Cavaliers don't get O'Neal, Chandler is their primary target. There are also the likes of the Thunder, Mavericks, and Bobcats who have joined the battle for this interior defensive giant.

At this time, it depends on the bid of each family.

The Mavericks want to use 'the league's No. 1 center' Eric. Dampier and the boxing champion swapped, with their salaries matching just right, and this year is Dampier's final year of contract.

The Bobcats want to use the '04 list to show Emeka. Okafor is a trade chip, but the Hornets, who want to control the team's salary spending, obviously don't want to be saddled with Okafor's big two-year, $25 million contract.

The Thunder are ready to use Chris. Wilkowske and Joe. Smith's two role players whose contracts expire next year and the 2008 second-round pick with the 50th pick Wonder W. Smith. Harding's signing rights.

If the Knicks don't make a move, the next stop for the boxing champion is likely to be Oklahoma City.

Chapman's shot instantly impressed the Hornets management. Richardson and the main center Kwame. Brown's total annual salary of $12 million is just the right match for Tyson. Chandler's salary for this year is $11.85 million.

Charlie Desson, who is good at three-point shooting, can be the queen bee Chris. Paul's right-hand man, who joined the Knicks, who averaged 10 points and 10 rebounds per game. Brown can also make up for the team's interior needs after Chandler's departure. And these two players who are in contract years can give the Hornets more flexibility in salary space next year.

Now, let's talk about Gerald. Green and Aaron Avlalo's swap deal.

During the time Richardson was injured, Green quickly made up for the captain's firepower. He became a starter, averaging 14.5 points per game. The only thing that worries Chapman is that Glenn is prone to losing position in defense and that his defensive moves are too risky.

Before sending away the main point guard Richardson, it became a top priority for the Knicks general manager to find a qualified backup.

After a lot of analysis and selection, former UCLA star player Afflalo, who rose to prominence with the Pistons last season, is the most likely target for the Knicks at the moment.

This young player with a clean style of play also has a league-level three-point skill, and most importantly, he can help the team's core Sun Yi share a lot of the pressure on the defensive end, allowing the team's top scorer to focus more on offense.

In getting Tyson. Chandler and Aron. After Afflalo, the general framework of the Knicks' roster for the new season has been completed.

Because the boxing champion has been suffering from minor injuries in recent years, in order to be on the safe side, Chapman used the veteran clause in his hand to sign the veteran center Mike who had played for the Knicks for two years on a three-year, $10 million contract. Dyce.

At the same time, put the white center Aaron who is unpopular in the free market. Gray, who earned the team a two-year, $2.1 million cabbage price.

Finally, Sun Yi's college brother, former Duke All-American Defensive Player of the Year, Sheldon. Williams, signed for a low price of $3.1 million for three years.

The Knicks' roster salaries for the new season are as follows:

Point guard Sun Yi (4.17 million), Andre. Miller (6.73 million).

Quarterback Aaron. Afflaro (1.09 million in the third year of his rookie contract), Shannon. Brown (2.2 million). Sun Yue (1.4 million).

Wilson Komae. Chandler (1.26 million), Steve Brown. Novak (1.5 million).

Forward swingman Al. Harrington (10.03 million).

Power forward David. Lee (9 million), Daktronics. Milicic (5.8 million) Sheldon. Williams (950,000).

Center Tyson. Chandler (11.85 million), Mack. Days (3.3 million), Aaron. Gray (1 million).

In response to the unpredictable injury situation, Chapman did not use up all of his signings. At this point, he also had a full middle-class clause in his hand that was not used. It's not that the general manager of the Knicks is reluctant to spend money, but the price of the player he wants can't come, and he can't afford to come.

At this point, in the second season of Chinese teenager Sun Yi with the Knicks, the team finally has the strength on paper to sprint to the playoffs. Except for the slightly immature shooting guard position, the other positions are either players of the playing year, or a combination of old and new.

It can be said that under Chapman's careful operation, the Knicks' roster has a new look. (To be continued.) )
