The Knicks, who won the trophy in Dallas, flew back to New York overnight, and on the plane, O'Neal was snoring with the trophy in his arms, as if no one wanted to touch my trophy.

Although Lin Yi was very tired, he couldn't sleep.

He sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and I have to say that the 10/11 season was a good season for Lin Yi, but it is foreseeable that as the trajectory of history changes, how to build the Knicks' dynasty next is indeed a problem.

O'Neill must be retiring, otherwise this fat man would not be as excited as a child after this victory.

Marbury and Dodgers have decided that regardless of the league shutdown, they will go to the CBA next season to dominate one side.

There are also some Knicks players whose contracts are expiring and facing the problem of contract extensions, as well as the plan that Lin Yi made in the 2011 draft......

To put it simply, the Knicks' roster needs to be adjusted.

And this summer will be very painful, Lin Yi must make a plan before July 1.

Because during the shutdown, NBA players will not receive salaries, and teams will not be able to negotiate with players, let alone sign and trade players.

At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coaches' gatherings.

In addition, NBA team websites can no longer use the image of the player, and the player cannot be used as a representative of publicity.

"Let's take it one step at a time!"

Lin Yi thought to himself after taking a deep breath.

……

"Hey, Lin, you didn't fall asleep either?" On the plane, Gallinari, who ran to Lin Yi's seat, said.

Lin Yi nodded, "Aren't you going to rest for a while?" Danilo, I thought you were going to a nightclub as soon as you got off the plane. ”

Gallinari: "......"

The "second battalion commander" was so congested that he wanted to raise a sledgehammer and shoot at Lin Yi's waist.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to take out his notebook to brush up his thoughts, he found that Gallinari was a little different from usual.

Gallinari looked at Lin Yi with a serious face: "Lin, I want to apply for a trade and leave the team." ”

Lin Yi was a little surprised, "What's the matter, Danilo?" ”

"Lin, I'm not unhappy with the Knicks. Seriously, I love every teammate here and I love the atmosphere of playing for the Knicks, but I don't want to hide it from you, I talked to my agent and we both didn't think the Knicks were going to give me a maximum salary. Gallinari said.

According to the current NBA rules, after Gallinari's rookie contract expires, he can sign a contract with the team that accounts for 25% of the team's salary space, but Gallinari's agent has analyzed with him that the Knicks are unlikely to give him this contract.

It really has nothing to do with whether New York has money or not.

Because Lin Yidu and Javier Stanford discussed the renewal of Gallinari's contract, Javier Stanford mentioned a very important point, that is, the value for money of Gallinari's new contract.

"Obviously, we have enough salary space to renew Gallinari's contract at the moment, but Lin, if we want to keep the team's salary space active, Gallinari's new contract will make us lose the possibility of reinforcements." Javier Stanford said at the time.

And after winning the championship, Gallinari's own mentality has changed a lot.

The "second battalion commander" wanted to try whether he could become a big leader.

That's more important than salary, the Knicks have a good team atmosphere, the team is winning the championship again, and it stands to reason that Gallinari doesn't need to leave, but it's like the Germans never know what the Italians are going to do next......

Gallinari feels that he has finished winning the championship, and what he needs next is to prove his strength and be selected as an All-Star.

Gallinari doesn't want to be an All-Star with Lin Yi's thigh, he wants to be rightfully selected as an All-Star, and that's the point.

In addition, the current public opinion is not optimistic about the NBA's labor and management negotiations in the summer of 11, and many players whose contracts have expired hope that their players can get a guarantee when the future situation is uncertain.

Gallinari averaged 16+6 data per game in the 10/11 season, with a three-point shooting rate of 41.5%, and there are not a few teams on the market who are willing to give him a contract with a maximum salary.

In addition, Gallinari's appearance is a plus, you must know that in the Knicks, his jersey sales are the second best, just because he is handsome.

Lin Yi remembered that in the original historical trajectory, under the premise of Gallinari's glass attributes, the Nuggets gave Gallinari a contract with an annual salary of 10 million, and now with the bonus of the ring and the second leader of the championship team, it will not surprise Lin Yi that Gallinari got the top salary.

And Gallinari changed his style of play, reducing the strong kills on the inside, and said that his career would be better than Lin Yi remembered.

Lin Yi will not stop Gallinari, because he knows that he can force interference with management to get Gallinari a big contract, but Lin Yi knows better the consequences of turning the Knicks into his "friend team".

Don't you see how the Argentine friends team hit the streets?

No matter how strong you are, it's useless, competitive sports are cruel, and even more so this is still Gallinari's own request?

"No problem, I respect your idea, but Danilo, I advise you not to rush, I remember that you can already renew your contract with the team early, right? I suggest you sign before you change and don't accept empty promises from other teams. Lin Yi said.

"But that makes it difficult for the Knicks to match their salaries, right?" Gallinari said.

Lin Yi touched Gallinari's head, the "second battalion commander" really had true love for the Knicks, "Then you don't have to worry, don't forget, after Shaq retires, there is no problem with our salary space." ”

Salary matching?

Inexistent.

To be honest, Lin Yi actually thought about staying with Gallinari for another year, but after the contract of the "Second Battalion Commander" expired, with his appearance that is not lower than Parsons and his strength is stronger than the original history, it is inevitable that he and the Knicks will break up in the future.

The reason why the Knicks will not give Gallinari a salary cap is not because Gallinari does not deserve this cap salary, but for the Knicks, who want to build a dynasty, Gallinari's new contract will be very cost-effective.

In addition, the various versions of the "Treaty of Linyi" that are now circulating in the market make Knicks have to pay attention to ......

All the reinforcements and reinforcements of the Knicks must be completed before Lin Yi's rookie contract expires, otherwise, at that time, after Lin Yi completes the contract extension, what awaits the Knicks can only be to keep paying the luxury tax.

Dolan isn't bad for money, but the NBA isn't something you can play with money, at least not until the salary space skyrockets.

Finally, considering the renewal of the contract with the boxing champion and Lin Yi's future plans...... A peaceful parting with the "second battalion commander" is a win-win situation for both parties.

Because it means that the Knicks can make the most of Gallinari's value in exchange for an equal amount of chips.

"To be honest, Danilo, I'm still quite reluctant to give you up." This sentence Lin Yi came from the heart.

"Huh? I'm sorry, Lin, but I secretly found a lot of girlfriends......"

Before Gallinari finished speaking, Lin Yi kicked him to the other side, rolling, Gallinari was simply born to destroy the atmosphere.

It's obviously a very touching picture, but it's just lost by Gallinari.

Gallinari smiled and returned to his seat, but at this moment, he looked out the window with a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes.

"Goodbye, New York!"

On the other hand, Lin Yi plans to return to New York, and it's time to treat that guy to dinner.
