The news of the Knicks' championship managed to dominate the headlines for days.

After returning to New York, Lin Yi gave himself a short vacation and slept comfortably at home for a few days.

On the 21st, Lin Yi received the itinerary of the Knicks Championship Parade.

Dolan is not ungenerous this time, Lin Yi remembers that when the Knicks won the championship in 11 years, Dolan's spending before and after added up to $30 million......

And this year, according to Javier, Dolan didn't set a budget for them.

In the words of the Nimes, you can look down on the Knicks, but you can't say that the Knicks don't have money!

You know, when the Spurs won the championship last year, the total cost was less than $4 million.

On the afternoon of the 21st, Tony Allen also came to visit Lin Yi.

Teacher Tony, who doesn't like to beat around the bush, said to Lin Yi, "Lin, I'm sorry, I'm leaving New York." ”

Lin Yi nodded, the three-year 10 million contract that Mr. Tony signed with the Knicks will expire this summer, and there are not a few teams on the market that are willing to give Mr. Tony a big contract.

Don't look at Tony Allen's lack of playing time with the Knicks last season, it was purely because there were too many people playing for the Knicks.

As people dig deeper and dissect the Knicks' success factors, the NBA's major think tanks agree that 3-and-D players are essential for a team that wants to compete for a championship.

And this has also led to the early arrival of 3D players who were supposed to skyrocket in the future.

Tony Allen didn't hide it from Lin Yi, the Grizzlies were willing to give him a 5-year 30 million contract, and he wanted to go to Memphis for retirement.

The 31-year-old is no longer young, and this contract could well be the last of his career.

Although he had a great time in New York, at the suggestion of his agent, Tony Allen finally decided to leave the city that left him with countless fond memories after some careful consideration.

In 11 years, Mr. Tony's stunner steal is still talked about by fans in New York, but dreams are beautiful, and reality needs bread.

It is impossible for the Knicks to match such a contract, which has nothing to do with whether Dolan is willing to spend money, but starting next summer, Lin Yi's super contract with the Knicks will officially be included in the Knicks' salary space.

Under the current salary system, Lin Yi and Paul's salaries will occupy nearly 70% of the Knicks' salary space, and if Klay renews his contract with the Knicks in the future, it will inevitably be the maximum salary.

Of course, because Klay has the bird rights at that time, the Knicks can risk a cap-extension with him regardless of salary.

Moreover, Clay's contract will be quite cost-effective in a few years, except that the present is the present and the future is the future.

Before the salary rises dramatically, the Knicks must leave room to operate, and Mr. Tony's contract is not big, but it is not small.

After the retirement of the Rockets trio, the Knicks, who are in dire need of reinforcements, are unlikely to sign Tony Allen to such a contract that is likely to further lock up the salary.

Lin Yi tried to keep Mr. Tony, but after seeing that Tony Allen had made up his mind, Lin Yi didn't say anything.

The championship is not so tempting for Tony Allen now, the NBA is like that, friends come and go, only the championship flag flutters in the dome.

"Tony, I hope you have a good time in Memphis." Lin Yi patted Teacher Tony's back and said.

It's good that Lin Yi didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Tony Allen suddenly felt that his nose was sour.

But what can be done?

Professional players eat youth rice, two championships, Tony Allen feels that he has not lost this wave.

"Lin, thank you! The next time we meet, we'll be enemies. Tony Allen said as he left Lin Yi's house.

Yes, next time, it's the enemy.

The news of Tony Allen's departure will not be announced until July, and now that the fans are happy, Tony Allen doesn't want to spoil the current joy of the New York fans.

Although Mr. Tony himself complained, his departure may not make the fans here sad.

"I wonder what the fans here will cry like when Lin retires in the future?" Tony Allen thought to himself.

……

Lin Yi told Javier about Tony Allen's preparation, and Javier was not surprised.

'Lim, we have to be ready, a lot of our players are in contract years this year and there are so many teams that are eyeing us right now.

Javier's brain has been exploding lately, and the rest of the NBA is now staring at the Knicks like a jackal and a hungry tiger.

Lin Yi sighed, no way, where are the rules of the NBA game.

In fact, the Knicks' roster is strong enough that the departure of role players is perfectly acceptable for the Knicks while retaining core players.

The biggest headache for the Knicks right now is that opponents tend to go straight to poison contracts or premium contracts when poaching people, and the Knicks have money, but locking up their salary is the most stupid for a team that wants to build a dynasty.

The Knicks' current core idea is to renew Klay's contract ahead of schedule next year, using Lin, Cannon, and Buddha as a framework, and then adding other functional players.

"These days, there are not many people like Wilson who are loyal and courageous!" Lin Yi thought to himself with emotion.

In addition to Tony Allen being poached by the Grizzlies, Javier also revealed to Lin Yi that Motai is likely to be poached by the Houston Rockets using a poison contract......

"Morey is so deceitful!" Lin Yi thought to himself angrily.

The poison contract is currently the most feared way for the Knicks to poach people, you know, the salary on the Rockets side is almost in a semi-vacuum, and after Lin Yi ends the "child labor contract", the Knicks must be careful in the future.

Like the days when O'Neill was given an annual salary of tens of millions......

Gone are the days!

After communicating with Javier, Lin Yi believes that the Knicks' top priority is to find a way to get the draft pick in this year's draft.

"We have to strengthen on the inside, Tyson's form has declined this year, and Tyson may be able to top it next year, but in the year after, he will not be so deterrent under the basket." Lin Yi's idea of building the team is very clear, and the Knicks must win draft picks this year.

Because in this way, the Knicks will be able to survive this period of time before the salary surge.

In the future, Lin Yi's sky-high contract will become a major advantage for the Knicks, not to mention the Big Three, any Big Four, Big Five, and Big Six Knicks can try.

Javier's idea coincides with Lin Yi, so the Knicks' recruitment in the new season will mainly focus on veterans and rookies, so that the Knicks' salary in the new season will be very flexible.

"There are a lot of good players in the '13 draft!" Lin Yi looked at the list of the draft conference and was already drooling.

I want it so much, what should I do!
